Transcript of above video clip:

GERVAIS: THEY HIRED ME MORE FOR A JOB AND IF THEY DIDN’T WANT ME THEY SHOULDN’T HAVE HIRED ME.

MORGAN: SOMEONE ASKED ME YOU KNOW – AS A FELLOW BRIT ON TV IN AMERICA, “WHAT DO YOU THINK OF WHAT HAPPENED TO RICKY?” I SAID, IT’S A BIT LIKE INVITING A HAMMER HEAD SHARK OUT TO DINNER AND THEN WHEN HE EATS ALL THE GUESTS YOU START COMPLAINING. I MEAN, YOU KIND OF KNOW WHAT YOU’RE GOING TO GET.

GERVAIS: THAT’S ONE THING, BUT ALSO AS I SAID – I DON’T THINK I DID ANYTHING WRONG. I HONESTLY, YOU KNOW THOSE WERE LIKE JIBES AT THESE PEOPLE AND I’M SURE THEY’VE GOT A SENSE OF HUMOR.

MORGAN: IS ANYTHING LIKE THAT EVER OFF LIMITS? DO YOU CARE ABOUT WHAT THEY MAY BE GOING THROUGH IN THEIR PRIVATE LIVES?
