Karl Pilkington (born 23 September 1972) is an English presenter, actor and author. After working with Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant as producer on their Xfm radio show, Pilkington became a co-host of The Ricky Gervais Show due to unique and unorthodox opinions and views he often expressed, and Gervais's and Merchant's fascination with them.

He presented the Sky travel comedy series An Idiot Abroad and its followup The Moaning of Life. He made his acting debut in Gervais's comedy-drama series Derek. He also co-created, co-wrote, and starred in the comedy series Sick of It, commissioned and broadcast by Sky One.
