Ricky Gervais Signs a Deal to Make Original YouTube Content

Ricky Gervais just signed a deal with ChannelFlip, a UK online video company that runs over 140 million YouTube channels, to produce his own content that will be released via his YouTube channel, Deadline reports. Gervais will be releasing  "sketches, filmed podcasts & behind the scenes antics and interviews from the forthcoming The Muppets… Again." The first official video will be The Office Revisted, a new short film starring Gervais his old character David Brent that will debut on BBC and online tomorrow. Hopefully, the YouTube channel won't feature as much mocking of disabled people as the rest of Gervais's work..

    Are you guys obliged to report on Gervais news? I only ask because no matter who writes the article, they always throw in lame criticisms and petty pot shots aimed at him. If you watch Derek and still think he's "mocking" disabled people, then I think it's time to get your eyes, ears, and funny bone checked.
