Gervais's reading of genesis is also a great laugh (but not nearly as funny as his story about the healthy gay sex pamphlet, I couldn't breathe).
It's not fair though to compare a stand up comic's routine to a show's host who preforms weekly, or nightly even. The stand up spends ages perfecting his routine, and then he'll have that for a year or more. These guys take current events and make jokes about them (and have people write their jokes), it's not the same thing. I've seen some Mahar other than religulous, it's ok. He does have some good moments (which are the one's I would have seen), but compare it to other shows like it (take the colbert report/the daily show or here in Aus the old 'The Glass House' or the political commentary sections of the Chaser's). Not bad, just not consistently funny.
