Best one yet.  He was saying in the interview with Tom how he prefers physical comedy and I think the end of this episode shows why.

Wow. I haven't laughed that hard in a long while. ("Jon Hamm....am I pronouncing that right?") Man, how does Zach manage to be funnier in a 3-minute clip than some comedians are over periods of decades?

If I weren't so disgusted by it, I'd be tempted to make that little .jpg my avatar.

I was looking at more Zach Galifianakis videos on Funny or Die and found this:

He even manages to make hidden camera pranks funny!

Zach somehow has that midas touch. AKA, just walking into view of the camera, his presence alone being funny enough.

I just heard, today, that Late World with Zach existed.
My life begins today.

while watching this video, i imagined myself in the place of those girls and there is no way i would have left. 

i went to college (local community establishments), in fact, i went THREE times, and dropped out each time.  zach is right: "it's hard to make friends at these universities."

I went to Ohio State and I know exactly where that video happened.

Somehow that makes it even funnier.

I saw Zack G on the G Train this weekend. I didn't even think it was him until he got off the train. The only thing I thought when I walked by him was "that beard looks SO warm."

"do you like websites?"
"..."
"i heard you liked websites."
"where'd you hear that?"
"on a website."


note: i can never tell if these interviews are real or not.  the only reason i smell fraud is because i cant imagine ANYONE sitting through that.  either way, it remains hilarious for me.

I assume they aren't "real" since everyone he's interviewed is involved with comedy to some extent.  I would believe that the subject doesn't know all the question though.

Hey do you know you can download all the episodes? I believe they're up on MySpleen.

Also, here's my collection of Zach stuff on YouTube. Because he's my super secret fantasy boyfriend and I love him:

their looks of confusion and the awkward tension are fantastic, real or fake.

The one with Michael Cera is awesome and horrible at the same time.

Jon's answer: "Good question."

Now that's funny!

It's pretty great. I have a file of the show that I downloaded with a weird behind the scenes thing extra thing. It also has this little text explanation at the end of that last episode about how relieved Zach was when it was over and he could grow his beard back. You could tell there was some strain against VH1 the whole time, but there's genius results.
Favorite episode has to be the one where there's only one guy in the audience. Pure gold.
