Ricky Gervais clarifies 'let them cancel it' remark about 'The Office': 'Clearly a joke'

Ricky Gervais clarified his comments about "The Office" being canceled.

When speaking to the BBC, Gervais said the show would be "canceled" if attempted today. "I mean now it would be canceled. I'm looking forward to when they pick out one thing and try to cancel it," the actor said. "Someone said they might try to cancel it one day, and I say, 'Good let them cancel it. I've been paid!'" Not only is Gervais famously controversial himself, but in "The Office," he plays David Brent, the manager of a local branch of a paper company, who often acts inappropriately around the office.
