Thats what he said on the show today isn't it?

Maybe?

maybe not

Jimmy always references "Colin" as if he's a household name. As if some 23 year old pornstar knows who he's talking about.

That's one of Jimmy's most endearing characteristics though. His small world naïveté.

He's the sixth most famous Colin in showbiz.

Yes. And having a nice face. Colin is not a name in Europe.

I'm convinced Gervais became a fan of the show because Merchant introduced him to it (and indirectly to CK).
