Why'd Karl Pilkington leave half-way through the show?


He was the funniest character

So that you'd be able to write this post.

He was struggling with the acting and felt that he was letting the rest of the crew down. Each of his scenes were taking more and more takes to complete and he was starting to buckle under the pressure. He lacked confidence in himself and decided that he wanted to leave.

That's too bad he felt that way. He was great on Derek. Love Karl Pilkington being himself or acting.

Weird. I thought he was great.

He came back on top form in Sick of It.

He realised the show was a load of wank.
