KARL PILKINGTON LAUGHING: THE XFM BITS THAT MADE KARL GIGGLE

During The Ricky Gervais Show's run on XFM in the early 2000s, Karl Pilkington rarely laughed, even while saying some of the most ridiculous things imaginable. But every so often, Karl would laugh, whether because he realized his own absurdity, or Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant had said something so hilarious that he simply couldn't contain himself. In these precious moments, Karl's laughter really is infectious. Enjoy!

Y'alright? Ages ago... People were sayin' this is the definitive fan-led remastering & lost content discovery project for the legendary XFM radio show with Ricky "Play a Record" Gervais, Stephen "Man Alive" Merchant and Karl "K-Man" Pilkington, with such gems as MONKEY NEWS & EDUCATING RICKY. The trio began their pointless, mind-numbing Saturday afternoon radio show in August 2001 on XFM, a shoddy tin-pot radio station. They did 4 radio series before launching their record-breaking podcast in 2005. Enjoy remastered episodes with lost bits, and original compilations! Not Radio X or Global.
