No more podcasts from Ricky Gervais?

Ricky Gervais Podcast

Comedian Ricky Gervais is to stop making his amusing podcasts, saying he wants to "knock it on the head for a while before everyone hates us".


The Ricky Gervais Show Podcasts
, which also featured The Office and Extras co-writer Stephen Merchant and producer Karl Pilkington, were downloaded nearly eight million times.

In fact, it has become the most downloaded podcast ever. With an average of 261,670 downloads per episode.

Despite the success of the podcasts, Ricky has decided to end it once and for all. Before it gets to stale.

"It's getting ridiculous and someone has to make it stop," Gervais said.

"I was trying something out. I wanted to see if I could cut out the middle man and make podcasting a commercial concern. Karl never has to work again and I believe that maybe he won't," he added.

The show largely consisted of Gervais and Merchant teasing Pilkington for his idiotic ideas, including his regular Monkey News bulletin of stories about apes.
