There is only one reason David Letterman had Ricky Gervais on ‘Late Show’ (Weeknights, 11:35PM ET on CBS) tonight. It was his birthday and according to Gervais, “It’s quite obvious that I am your favorite guest.”
Letterman took the sentiment a step further, saying, “In all of show business, you’re really the only one I can stand being near.”
Gervais then reminisced about his first time on ‘Late Show.’ “It was the first big American show I’ve done and it was a short while after my dad died,” he said. “And so you sort of became a second father to me.”
