In the Funny or Die original series Between Two Ferns, comedian Zach Galifianakis interviews celebrities. Galifianakis' interview style consists of asking nonsensical questions, starting confrontations and rudely interrupting his guests. The series' first three guests are Michael Cera from Superbad, talk show host Jimmy Kimmel and Mad Men star Jon Hamm.
Galifianakis in Comedy
Galifianakis has made something of a career out of starring in odd online videos. In addition to Between Two Ferns and other Funny or Die features, he appeared in a music video for the Kanye West song "Can't Tell Me Nothing," a series of advertisements for Absolut Vodka with Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim and a musical collaboration with Fiona Apple called "Up in Them Guts". As a stand-up, Galifianakis is part of the "Comedians of Comedy" group that also includes Patton Oswalt and Brian Posehn, with whom he has also co-starred on Comedy Central's The Sarah Silverman Program.
