Now, he almost didn't do it, because for some reason FOX wasn't going to pay his airfare to come shoot the episode. But the cast got together and said that they were going to pay for his flight, and when the network heard that they agreed to pay for the trip.
No word yet on what his role will be.

Fox wouldn't pay a couple grand for Ricky Gervais? Sounds too ridiculous to be true.

Sadly, this is not true. The cast OFFERED to do this sometime last year, but then Ricky started work on Extras so it never happened. He did viist the set for a day, and everyone would love to have him on, but he is too busy at the moment and there are no immediate plans to write him in (though, as with Liza Minelli, Mitch may write a character with Ricky in mind and cross his fingers...)

Dear Respectful one,
I know my message will come to you as a surprise. Don’t worry, I am totally convinced to write you in reference of the transfer of US$ 7.5 Million to your account for onward investment (industries) in your country.Though we have not met before but I strongly believe that one has to risk confiding on another to succeed sometimes in life.
There is this amount of Seven Million, Five Hundred Thousand U.S Dollars ($7.500,000.00) which my late Father ( Mr Akume Brown ) kept in a trunk box deposited in one storage and security house here in Abidjan before he was assasinated by some unknown hoodlums in the on going political crisis here.
Due to the political instability of this country, I have decided to invest this money outside this country.
I am soliciting your help in the following ways:
(1) To help me in the retrieval and transfering of this fund into your nominated account.
(2) To stand as the care taker of this fund while I will countinue my education in your country as I am only 21 years old.
(3) If possible to make arrangement for me to come over to your country as soon as the fund is transferred into your care.
I will also appreciate the fund to be invested in any lucrative business such as:
1). Telecommunication.
2). Automobile manufacturing.
3). Five star hotel.
If you can be of an assistance to me, I will be pleased to offer to you the 15% of this total fund.
Further details will be made known to you on confirmation of your interest in this proposal.
Your urgent reply will be highly appreciated.
Thanks and God bless you.
Jona Akum
