Left: Actor Ricky Gervais poses in the press room with BAFTA awards for Best Situation Comedy and Best Comedy performance, at the Grosvenor House Hotel, April 18, 2004 in London.
The creator of "The Office," "Extras," and "Derek" has become famous for his successful brand of "cringe comedy" - deliberately un-PC humor that taunts taboos, crosses boundaries and elicits painful laughs. His success - and the fact that the Brit's work has found international appeal - surprises even Gervais.
"I shouldn't be this famous, or rich, with the stuff I do," he laughingly admitted to CBS News' Mark Phillips. "No, I should be a fringe comedian that a few people have heard of that isn't allowed on telly, yeah."
