Ricky Gervais shows off his improvised acting skills, totally nails it

When it comes to improvised acting, Ricky Gervais has some serious range.

During a recent appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers, Gervais helped Meyers shoot some promos for local affiliates. For each promo he had a different theme -- ranging from "give me your best George Clooney cool" to "you had a couple of drinks backstage, maybe one too many" -- and he really put his heart and soul into it.

Especially the one where he acts drunk. He really goes the extra mile with that one.
