Ricky Gervais made an unexpected appearance during the launch of Piers Morgan’s new TalkTV programme. Piers Morgan Uncensored made its debut on Monday night (April 25) and opened with a monologue from the former Good Morning Britain presenter in which he promised to 'cancel cancel culture.'
"My mission statement for this show is very simple – I’m going to cancel cancel culture," he said. And there was a surprise cameo ahead of the broadcaster’s highly publicised interview with former US president Donald Trump in which they discussed President Putin, Russia and Angela Merkel.
Award-winning comedian Ricky Gervais appeared in a cameo to wish Piers "good luck" with his new series after he sensationally quit GMB last year following a heated row with weatherman Alex Beresford over controverial comments he made about Meghan Markle. In the video Afterlife writer, director and actor Ricky said: “The producers of Piers Morgan’s new show contacted me and asked me if I’d like to be a guest. I said 'definitely not.'"
