I didn't know he did such funny stuff. Don't watch enough TV, I guess.

Oh he is a very funny guy. Brilliant writer too. I've liked most of what he has done on tv, and some of his movie outings. I really loved The Invention of Lying (which he co-wrote, co-directed and starred in) - that was a cool little film. The original Office was sharp as a tack. Extras was brilliantly observed. The more recent tv series he did, Derek, was a gentle and rather sweet affair.

He was already huge in the UK before he started getting known in the US


Also - one of the pioneers of podcasting.

But I think his stand up is some of his best work.
