UK comedian Ricky Gervais will be honoured with the 2,813th star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame next week.

Netflix executive Ted Sarandos and This Is Spinal Tap star Christopher Guest will be on site for the unveiling of the star on 1628 Vine Street in Los Angeles.

“The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce is honoured to welcome comedian Ricky Gervais to the Hollywood Walk of Fame,” said Walk of Fame producer Ana Martine in a press statement. “Finally, a star that will give snarky commentary every time someone walks by… I always knew we needed a comedian’s touch on our famed sidewalk!”

The Hollywood Walk of Fame consists of over 2,800 five-pointed terrazo-and-brass stars, which are embedded in the sidewalk of two streets in the Hollywood district of Los Angeles. The starsโ€”the first of which was installed in 1960โ€”mark those with major achievements in the entertainment industry, including actors, musicians, producers, directors, athletes and even fictional characters.

Around 30 names are added to the Walk of Fame each year. Only celebrities who agree to attend the dedication ceremony get a star, and they (or their sponsors) have to pay USD 75,000 for the privilege.

Gervaisโ€™sย star will be unveiled onย 30 May, and live-streamed at walkoffame.com.
