Ask Ricky Gervais, and he’ll tell you he started his podcast The Ricky Gervais Show so he and writing partner Stephen Merchant could hang with radio producer Karl Pilkington and hear his childlike views on life (and monkeys).

The Golden Globe host called EW recently to plug the animated adaptation’s Jan. 4 DVD release and ended up giving us the what’s what on holiday TV, awards ceremonies, his Christmas-inspired 20-pound weight loss, the show’s second season (premiering Jan. 14 on HBO), and his next series.
