His last name may be a bitch to spell, but Zach Galifianakis makes up for being a particularly funny guy. He shot to fame in The Hangover, where he had a run in with a tiger whilst urinating in a hotel bathroom. That there is how you earn fame, folks.
More recently, he’s been appearing in minor roles in every second comedy to come out, often stealing the show with his intense, deadpan delivery. And his beard. I swear that thing is the source of all his power.
Anyhow, when Zach Galifoadslgnirowngdis is not doing movies, he’s being funny on his very own interview show over at the comedy website Funny or Die. His segment is called Between Two Ferns — named as such because he sits between, you guessed it, two ferns — and his guests are Hollywood A-list stars such as Natalie Portman, Michael Cera, Ben Stiller, Steve Carell and Sean Penn. This week, his guest is none other than Bruce Willis, star of the upcoming action-comedy Red.
But this isn’t your typical interview. Whilst both parties are obviously in on the joke, Zachy G. (now that’s much easier to write!) plays the role of douchebag interviewer, asking Bruce inane and scathing questions such as “Do you know that some actors turn down roles?”
If you’ve seen Cop Out, you’ll know he’s got a point.
