Ricky Gervais Pre-Records Conan Interview, Writes Own Questions (VIDEO)

You can always count on Ricky Gervais to give an entertaining interview, but we're not sure what he did on Thursday night's "Conan" can technically be classified as such.

Finding it unnecessary to come into Conan's studio "as [Conan's] career continues to descend," Gervais instead did his interview via a pre-recorded video using a green screen. To make it even more insulting, Gervais also wrote his own questions for Conan to read in sync with the video.

As for the questions, let's just say this isn't your standard late-night show conversation. And while there's no mention of Anthony Weiner (thank God), there is definitely mention of Gervais'.

Love Ricky! He is so inovative. I used to watch the original "The Office" on BBC. He's one funny guy. Also loved Extras. Wish it was still showing here.

Ummm that was awesome! Ricky is totally my main squeeze as far as comedy goes. Second to him is of course Mewes and Smith. Major difference is Mewes is in my secret 5. NOOTCH :O)

Conan: Not smart enough to realize when he's getting b!tch-slapped, even on his own show.

Funniest thing is he's just being himself.

I love Ricky G. How about a remake of The Three Amigos with Ricky, Louis C. K. and Larry David?

All excellently acted. Both guys are hilarious and Gervais loves nothing more than to gain negative publicity. It's why he has one of the most downloaded podcasts anywhere in the world.
