"What we're doing here, right, is just giving you a bit of monkey news that's gone on, where a monkey's been involved in it. Good little story an' that." - Karl Pilkington (The Ricky Gervais Podcast, 5 December 2005)

A regular section of the show in which Karl talks about a story, either factual (whilst often being very inaccurate) or fictious, where chimpanzees have been featured for unusual purposes. Ricky introduces this section with a "jingle" - "Ooooh, Chimpanzee That! MONKEYNEWS!" - as is usually the case with other features of the show. On the last show of the first series, Karl announced he would no longer be doing "Monkey News" as he believes all news featuring monkeys has been covered.
