Funny or Die: Zach Galifianakis brings back the ‘Ferns’ for Oscar season

Zach Galifianakis is back with a brand new Between Two Ferns, and this time it’s a special “Oscar Buzz Edition” that’s expanded across two clips. Over the years the Hangover star dresses up like a talk show host and sits down with celebrities and while the conversations mostly make no sense they are absurdly hysterical. And the latest episodes are no exception. Galifianakis and his ferns welcome Jennifer Lawrence, The Impossible Naomi Watts, Christ of Waltz, Anne Halfway, Amys Adam, Jessica Chestain, Sally Field, and Bradley Cooper.

Part 1 is embedded above; part 2 hangs after the break. Continue reading Funny or Die: Zach Galifianakis brings back the ‘Ferns’ for Oscar season

‘The Hangover 2’ in the works?

IGN recently interviewed “Hangover” star Zach Galifianakis.  Apparently talks of a sequel have been exchanged between the actors and director Todd Phillips.

IGN: What has Todd said about the sequel? Has he said where he wants to go with it?

Galifianakis: He is writing the script. But I haven’t seen the script. I’m not running to do The Hangover 2. I told Todd, the last thing I want is the Police Academy chain all of the sudden, where I’m only known from… You’ve got to be careful with something like that. The movie’s really good, why bother with a sequel? And I’m not saying that I’m not going to do it. I’m just posing these questions. These are things I ask Todd. Obviously, the reason is executives have Bentleys to pay for. I would love, love, love to work with those guys again. The script has to be good! But I’m working with Todd on a movie we’ll be shooting in about six weeks. So I’ll do that first, and then we’ll see how it goes.

I totally understand that Galifianakis does not want to become “the funny guy from The Hangover.”  Still, if a sequel should be made in the near future, there will be no hangover to laugh about without Galifianakis’ lovable character.
