Ricky Gervais
Added by ToughpigsRicky Gervais (b. 1961) is an actor and comedian most well known for creating The Office. He filmed two segments for Sesame Street’s 40th season: he sings celebrity lullaby to Elmo at bedtime about the letter "N" (First: Episode 4201) and presented "stumble" as the Word of the Day with Grover.
On November 5, 2009, Elmo appeared as a special guest with Gervais during a show at Carnegie Hall to sing "New York, New York."[1]
Elmo visited Gervais' office on a trip to London in 2010, where he also met with Warwick Davis in a viral video.
The actor was set to make a cameo in The Muppets, as he confirmed on his blog, "You may have heard I'm doing a cameo in the new Muppet movie. Should be a laugh. I'm in L.A. anyway for the Globes, so... convenient. Hope my mate Elmo is around that day." However, his scenes were cut from the final film.
