Comedian Ricky Gervais donates $20K to Chicago organizations

CHICAGO (WLS) -- Comedian Ricky Gervais donated thousands of dollars to two Chicago charities while he was in town for his shows.

Gervais donates money in every city where he performs.

The comedian tweeted on Wednesday about his upcoming performances.
