Ricky Gervais had the best response to Piers Morgan’s Taliban interview on TalkTV
Piers Morgan was said to have ‘sparked uproar’ among his viewers – both of them – after he interviewed Taliban spokesman Suhail Shaheen on his Talk TV show on Tuesday.
"A girl should be entitled to go to school in Afghanistan, the same way a boy goes…
"Let them go back to school. Give them the education they deserve. Just do it!"

We’re not too sure about the uproar but it did prompt one viewer – well, they might be a viewer – to ask Ricky Gervais what he thought about it.
@rickygervais what do you think about @piersmorgan interviewing the taliban tonight? #disgusting

And Gervais’s response got more likes than Morgan has viewers.
I’ve lost all respect for them. https://t.co/SKoUq2Gtoq

Boom.
Not everyone quite got it though.
You had a semblance of respect before?

You’re the reason Ricky explains a joke in his latest standup.
