Shame on you for eating.
Obviously the headline is meant to be smarmy. But can’t you just say no to having a table bestowed upon you? The man is free to do what he likes, but when he’s made a series specifically to expose the ludicrousness of fame and its trappings that included a multi-scene piss-take of the lunch scene at The Ivy… well, I guess it just seems a little inconsistent to me.
One of the things I’ve always liked about Ricky’s comedy is that it usually feels genuine. The table at 21 gives it a small hint of a “Larry The Cable Guy” act to me now.
