Ricky Gervais looks back on 25 years of The Office

Ricky Gervais reflects on the 25th anniversary of his iconic British sitcom 'The Office,' which premiered 25 years ago.

Gervais, who played the role of David Brent, co-created the series with Stephen Merchant. 'The Office' inspired international adaptations, including versions in the United States and Germany, and brought attention to the town of Slough in England, where the fictional office was set. To commemorate the anniversary, a statue of David Brent was unveiled outside a hotel in Slough.
