Good networking, smart choices and solid business decisions - that fucking idiot has incredible luck!
To suggest that his public persona in the entertainment industry might differ from his private life is like ,well, asking us to believe that Rock Hudson wasn't really a ladies' man and Ozzy Osbourne isn't actually a devil-worshipping prince of darkness off stage. Inconceivable.
1 - host? Karls hosts the shows he is in? If being put in ridiculous and dangerous situations by Ricky Gervais and the producers just to film Karls natural retarded real life reactions can be classed as hosting then fair enough. Its the bull in a bullfight “hosts” the fight!
2 - the books are popular because they are the inane ramblings of an idiot that people find funny. Karl doesn't write them is as comedy like him they are hilarious completely unintentionally. When asked if his books have a narrative he honestly replied “what's a narrative?”
3 - good networking, smart choices and solid business decisions? Yes by Ricky Gervais and his management!
4 - Karl Pilkington is a real life moron from Salford - fact. He is not a fictional character he is not an actor. He was lucky he became mates with two talented comedians and writers who made it their lifes work to make Karl famous.
Mission accomplished.
We need to punish the French, ignore the Germans and forgive the Russians - Condoleezza Rice.
