Comedian/actor RICKY GERVAIS is joining the SIRIUSXM lineup with a new weekly show.  "RICKY GERVAIS IS DEADLY SIRIUS" will launch next TUESDAY (10/24) on the SIRIUSXM COMEDY GREATS channel at 11a (ET), with a replay the same day at 5p (ET) on RAW DOG. 

GERVAIS hosted shows for several years on Alternative XFM/LONDON before his television career took off with "THE OFFICE," and also hosted one of the earliest successful podcasts with writing partner STEPHEN MERCHANT and producer KARL PILKINGTON; he was a frequent guest on the OPIE AND ANTHONY/OPIE AND JIM NORTON/OPIE shows on SIRIUSXM.  Among guests scheduled for the new show are NOEL GALLAGHER and RICHARD DAWKINS.

“I started out in radio, and SIRIUSXM made me an offer to return that I couldn't refuse,” said GERVAIS. “With 32 million subscribers, editorial control, my own playlist and absolute freedom of speech, it’s the perfect platform for me, and hopefully the listener too.”
