More Everything!

I read was reading this quote from Zach Galifianakis in an interview he did here: www.shortlist.com/entertainment/films/the-hangover-part-ii-interview

I had a talk show [2002’s Late [World] With Zach]. We had this actor come in and we were like, “Let’s just put one person in the audience and act as if nobody wants to come to our show.” The actor got so p*ssed. The interview had happened and we had the laugh-track of a six-year-old girl. It was the creepiest thing, it was the greatest thing.

Who was the actor?

His name is… He did a movie. He’s Jewish. And I want to say his name’s… Adam. I don’t know his name. He was so p*ssed, and then I saw him years later and he was like, “I got what you were doing.” And I was like, “Oh, you did? I don’t know what we were doing.”

So I did some quick youtube searching and sure enough I found the clip. It turned out that ‘Adam’ was Adam Goldberg and this segment is one of the oddest, yet greatest, comedy bits I have ever seen. It plays out like the pilot or proof-of-concept of Galifianaki’ “Between Two Ferns” shows that he would later do for Funnyordie.com. Only, as one youtube commenter observed, “with production value.”
