Ricky Gervais puts profitable podcasts on hiatus

Saying that his terrific podcast is “getting ridiculous and someone has to make it stop,” Ricky Gervais is putting the show on hold. For those of you wondering whether the pay-version of The Ricky Gervais show made any money, here’s a hint: “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,” said Ricky. Again, the difference between American and British programming – the Brits do a few terrific episodes, then stop. We’d make Gervais do a podcast a day for the next 20 years. (Thanks, Max!)
