Ricky Gervais, If You've Got a Good Sense of Humor You're Pretty Bulletproof on CBS This Morning WFRV Local 5

Ricky Gervais was interviewed by co-hosts Charlie Rose and Gayle King.

Below is an excerpt from the interview.

ROSE: You see more wit and comedy in the water in Britain than in most places?

GERVAIS: I think Brits pride themselves on having a sense of humor. Two Brits meet, it's the first one to get a gag out, usually something sarcastic or ironic. But it's like play-fire. I think comedy is a medicine, a healing process. It gets us through stuff. I think that's what it's for, in an evolutionary sense. So, if you've got a good sense of humor, you're pretty bulletproof, I think.
