According to Karl, "it's about being happy, innit?"

Wisdom of Karl Pilkington embodies enchanting philosophical depth delivered with such delicate precision and uncompromised humor. Here is one :
An infinite number of monkeys using an infinite number of typewriters for an infinite amount of time, could not produce the complete work of Shakespeare, unless they have read it.
I'm no a expert on radio/podcast programming, but I must say The Ricky Gervais Show on Guardian Unlimited (available on iTunes) is one of the funniest programming on radio. Much like the legendary Fawlty Towers and the more contemporary counterpart, The Office, the Ricky Gervais Show is a comedy classic. Karl's eccentric interests and theories are an unending source of laughter -- it's unfortunate that it's planned as only a 12-episode podcast. I think they're at episode 9 at this point. Enjoy.
