Obscure indie film star Zach Galifianakis is starring in a 30-minute, NYC-centric version of his stellar, houseplant-invoking web series, Between Two Ferns: A Fairytale of New York, that features Tina Fey, Jon Stewart, and Sir Richard Branson. Yes! Bring on the awkward, prickly questions about salary, facial scars, and crappy airline food!
Galifianakis also makes an appearance in Morgan Spurlock's newest film, Mansome, and will star opposite Will Ferrell in The Campaign this summer. The latest iteration of Between Two Ferns will air on May 6, on Comedy Central, but until then, enjoy our favorite interview with Bruce Willis, ever.
