While The Hangover Part II is projected to pull in $80 million this weekend, that hasn’t slowed down Zach Galifiniakis in his goal to produce on of the best (and cheapest) internet talk show out there.
On his show, which has been running for over a year now, he’s had guests like Natalie Portman, Jon Hamm, Jimmy Kimmel, Conan O’Brien, and Michael Cera all join in the awkward hilarity, and now he’s trying to top himself with his newest guest, Will Ferrell.
Straight from the set of The Office as Steve Carell’s temporary replacement, Ferrell stops by Two Ferns to compliment the atmosphere, show some new clips of monkeys, and feed the host fruit from his own mouth. There’s even a surprise appearance by a former guest.
Check out the episode after the jump, and see Galifiniakis in his Bangkok antics this weekend in The Hangover Part II.

For those unaware, one of the best and most poignant talk shows isn’t on network or cable television — it’s actually only on Funny Or Die. The show? Between Two Ferns with Zach Galifiniakis. The comedic relief from such films and TV shows as The Hangover and Bored To Death hosts a satire of bad local interview shows with some of his Hollywood friends, and each are funnier than the last.
Lately, he has had such guests as Mad Men’s Jon Hamm, Charlize Theron, and even fellow Hangover star Bradley Cooper. His most recent episode had the dynamic duo of late night TV, Conan O’Brien and Andy Richter. Zach has a bit of a problem with Conan, and he doesn’t hide it very well.
Check out the video behind the jump, courtesy of FunnyOrDie.com, and be sure to keep your eye on Zach G and his upcoming endeavors, as he’s on the way to toppling Will Ferrel for Hollywood’s King of Comedy.

Some may think shows like The Tonight Show or The Daily Show are the go-to programs when it comes to compelling interviews with celebrities or people of interest. Those people would be dead wrong. If you want to know what’s really going on in the world of celebrity, look no further than Between Two Ferns with Zach Galifianakis.
Galifianakis is not only a rising star in the comedy world, thanks to this summer’s The Hangover, but he also takes time to host his faux interview web series in which he invites stars like Jon Hamm, Natalie Portman, and even co-star of The Hangover Bradley Cooper. If you’re asking, then yes: each episode takes place between two ferns.
Zach’s latest interview is with international starlet Charlize Theron. They chat about things ranging from her names, her sick dog, and jumping into the naked pool. Check out the Funny or Die exclusive after the jump.
