Stephen Merchant On The One Show This Evening

[6Foot2]

He was apparently recently refused entry to a club in America on the grounds:

 

Doorman: We want people in her to look glamorous not who will look like they will provide IT support.

 

Charming!

 

As a reminder: Stephen Merchant [Writing partner to Ricky Gervais in The Office]

I don't mind him. Despite having written for the Office, I won't hold it against him.

Rather enjoyed him in Portal 2 and seen a live show which was rather good. He does the one comedy thing I really hate though quite a lot, repeating lines.

He talked about a similar incident on XFM (The Ricky Gervais Show) when he was refused entry into a nightclub in Bristol, absolutely hilarious. Look it up!

 

His personal anecdotes on XFM and the podcasts are some of the best bits.

I've just been through all the XFM shows and all the podcasts this august/September (for about the 4th time)

Yeah, the other incident was about using his 'celebrity' status not long after The Office, but obviously because he wasn't the guy on camera they had no clue. Something about tipping a bouncer as well due to being so tight with money, ha.
