Dear Everyone,

Here is the last installment of the Absolut ads Zach did with Tim and Eric. It is an
acquired taste. If you do not have taste then you may have some
trouble. Also, Zach is in the planning stages of a Canadian tour.

Enjoy the video:

Has anyone seen Visioneers? I'm surprised how little buzz there has been about it around here, even before the crash.

[heatherm]

there was a whole thread about visioneers before the board crash. i was very lucky and got to see it in las vegas - go see it if you get the chance! it's amazing. the most recent newsletter was sent out at the beginning of july, here it is:

Jeffers Morning, Tunts!


We've had some time to recover from the festivals. It was an amazing experience and was great to finally see George on the big-screen flipping everyone off. The response could not have been better. All of our shows in Seattle and Vegas sold out, with nearly 1,500 people seeing our film over the course of four screenings. We ended up taking home the Audience Award for Narrative Features at CineVegas, which is a huge honor. So thank you Vegas and more importantly, thanks to our audience. At this stage, it means a lot to know our movie is connecting.


We are currently preparingfor two distributor screenings, one in LA and one in NY, that will take place later this month.Until then, the film is on lock down. We may attend a few festivals this fall, and if we do, we will keep you posted on screening times and specifics.


In the meantime, you can check out some of our reviews on the press page of our website: www.visioneersthemovie.com (http://www.visioneersthemovie.com/)

[KeithTalent]

I just want to say that Zach on the Brody Stevens Interview Challenge (http://www.superdeluxe.com/sd/contentDetail.do?id=D81F2344BF5AC7BB1B796DDC830C81 A0B6FB13B2950539E1) is probably the hardest I've ever laughed at anything on the internet. I was obscenely baked but still.

[heatherm]

http://newyork.ucbtheatre.com/shows/1858

So excited, I have never seen Zach live. Thanks so much for this board. Bored? Board.

[BillBrasky]

From the Hollywood Reporter:

Comedian Zach Galifianakis has snagged lead roles in Todd Phillips' comedy "The Hangover" for Warner Bros. and the HBO pilot "Bored to Death."

In "Hangover," Galifianakis, Bradley Cooper and Ed Helms play best buddies at a wild Las Vegas bachelor party who lose the groom just hours before his wedding. Legendary Pictures is producing with Warners, and filming is set to begin this weekend.

In "Death," Galifianakis plays Ray, a struggling comic book artist and best friend to Jonathan (Jason Schwartzman), an alcoholic writer who pretends to be a private detective. Ted Danson also stars in the project from writer Jonathan Ames and director Alan Taylor.

The CAA/Brillstein Entertainment-repped actor recently appeared as Ashton Kutcher's sidekick in "What Happens in Vegas" and will be seen in Disney's upcoming action-adventure film "G-Force."

[punkdc]

Bored To Death sounds pretty good. Hope it gets picked up

Hi,

Does anyone know anything about this:
http://www.freewilliamsburg.com/archives/2008/10/zach_galifiania.html

[hughfitzgerald]

Saw Visioneers this evening. Really enjoyable movie. I think some of the comedic elements fell flat, but it was a really effective movie. And Zach's great in it. He has very few lines, and he relies a lot on body language. Great performance.

Agreed.

What happened to Zach's appearance on Adam Carolla?

What would think if I sang out of tune,
Would you stand up and walk out on me.
Lend me your ears and I'll sing you a song,
And I'll try not to sing out of key.

Oh I get by with a little help from my friends,
I get high with a little help from my friends,
Oh I'm gonna try with a little help from my friends.

[Fentmore]

Do you guys remember having stacks of VHS tapes (early TiVo)? Jesus, have DVDs been out for a decade already?

I'm old.

I wonder if they muted the "high" part when it played in front of the Wonder Years. Never noticed it.

did you know it's been longer from when 'the wonder years' premiered until now than it was from the moon landing til the premiere of 'the wonder years'?

that'll really make you feel old.

[Nick C.]

Is Zach still writing a book? I remember reading an interview from a few years ago that said he was. Any news on that ever happening?

[Chris Donahue]

anyone have a dvd copy of Look Who It Isn't? Anything extra on that dvd or is just the Look Who It Isn't video?

[BillBrasky]

This Friday at 1 AM (technically Saturday at that point), (http://www.comedycentral.com/tv_schedule/index.jhtml?dayName=Sat&month=Dec&dayNum=06&year=2008&timeStart=00:00&timeDuration=04:00) Comedy Central is showing something called "Zach Galifianakis Live". From the description of it, it sounds like the "Live at the Purple Onion" special, which I'm sure a lot of you have on DVD, but I don't think it has ever aired on TV before.

[Phil]

http://ccinsider.comedycentral.com/cc_insider/2008/12/zach-galifianakis-live-premieres-tonight.html

...did anyone catch it?

[Joker]

Taped it. how is it

[darrylduffy]

those clips look like the Purple Onion DVD, which if it is, is one of my favorite stand-up concert performance whatever DVDs ever.

[BillBrasky]

Yes, it was the "Purple Onion" DVD, but presented as a "Secret Stash" presentation, so all the cursing was unbleeped. Comedy Central seems to be showing a lot of specials without doing much advertising for them lately; on Thanksgiving in the early morning, they were showing the "Naked Trucker and T-Bones Live at the Troubadour" special (that one was bleeped, however).

[SteveAgee]

Not just specials. They don't advertise anything. It's brilliant (sarcasm). More people are aware of the show because of my myspace bulletins than TV commercials. In Comedy Central's defense, there is ONE billboard for the show in all of Los Angeles...ONE. Oh, and it says that our show is on Wednesday nights (FYI we're on Thursdays).

I'm done venting. Getting back on topic, Zach's Purple Onion DVD is one of my favorites. The stuff with Brian Unger and Seth is amazing (If you only saw this on Comedy Central I recommend getting the DVD 'cause there's some funny outtakes from the Seth stuff)

[Aaron1933]

Also, I only watched the last fifteen minutes or so but it looked like they cut out the stuff with Zach and Joe Wagner doing various things in the VW bus.

[I love nny]

i have streamed that concert no less then 5 times off net flix in the past 2 weeks.

[tuggboat]

Yeah, the outtakes on the DVD are great, but I don't think any of them can top "The Mayonnaise Thing" from the "Comedians Of Comedy" documentary DVD. Its one of the funniest things I've ever seen, both Brian and Zach are great in it.

[Lauren]

"You like Morrissey?"

[mezmorized]

Zach doing a voice over, A.D. Miles on fire and a trailer being blown up. Need I say more?

http://www.theclawproductions.com/speedfreaks/featuretteandopen.html

I hope this comes to TV one day.

[tuggboat]

Oh man! Up until now I had only read the description of the pilot and seen the footage of the explosion (both Miles and Zach put it on their myspaces.) Wow, the extra footage was great, but I really want to see the whole thing. Hopefully it will surface someday.

and, I think that was A.D. Miles doing the voice over. Carol Barbra is Zach's character, and the voice over was talking about Zach/Carol.

Comedy Central passed on it, but maybe if this had happened in the wake of Pineapple Express they might have picked it up.

[gloshi]

Wow, that looks amazing!

[CaptainBreakfast]

I hope something will happen with this....

[mezmorized]

Yeah it is. Still doesn't make it any less awesome.

It's to bad that they passed on the pilot, but I have a feeling something as good as those two on camera, is bound to be put on TV someday.

[sparkiepop]

Zach will be on The Best Show on WFMU with Tom Scharpling tomorrow.

<a href="http://wfmu.org/wfmu.pls">Listen live, 5pm-8pm PST</a>

[crlygrl]

yes yes yes

[bristol]

Did anyone catch the two hours Zach did on WFMU. It started out strong but then I had to go help my father in his garage put an AC plug in an old Dodge. Is there a recording of it? Thanks Bristol

[crlygrl]

It's on the archives on the site. Go to wfmu.org and click "most recent archives"

[crimestick]

Or sign up for the poddddd and get the whole thing delivered to your eyeTunes tomorrow-ish!

[Jouster]

I enjoyed that a lot (as usual).

[gloshi]

"I heard that you like websites."

Hahaha, Zach is too amazing.

[tuggboat]

I wish every interviewer asked "Do you ever get around to fingering any of them?" because as a viewer that's all I want to know. We don't even need to limit it to celebrity interviews. Why not job interviews?

[Scammy Davis Boogah Jr.]

I love that the theme music is a smooth jazz rendition of the music from Taxi Driver.

[crlygrl]

John Hamm and Zach Galifianakis?? I'm afraid to watch this. My brain might explode with joy juice.

[jon]

I think I laughed at everything Zach G. said. This is great.

[bristol]

This looks fun:

HBO did some serious holiday shopping the past two days.

On Thursday, the pay cable network picked up to series two comedies: "How to Make It in America," toplined by Bryan Greenberg and Victor Rasuk, and the Jason Schwartzman starrer "Bored to Death."

The Jonathan Ames-penned "Bored" centers on Jonathan (Schwartzman), a struggling thirtysomething Brooklyn writer with a drinking problem who, after a painful breakup with his girlfriend, decides to emulate his heroes from the novels of Raymond Chandler and Dashiell Hammett. He takes out an ad pretending to be a private detective and starts taking cases -- solving some and making others worse.

Ames, a novelist who landed his first TV series with "Bored," called the genre of the show "noirotic -- a mix of noir and neuroses."

He exec produced the pilot, directed by Alan Taylor and co-starring Ted Danson and Zach Galifianakis, along with Sarah Condon, Dave Becky, Stephanie Davis and Troy Miller.

[Everest]

troy miller the director troy miller?

[FF Woodycooks]

To quote Aviva Yael,
"...the ONLY thing better than Zach Galifianakis and John Hamm being in the same room together, between two ferns, would be if you could morph them into one superdude with your laptop and the prayers of a thousand vaginas."

[Phil]

I heard that Jon Hamm likes websites. (hope I'm pronouncing his name right)

ZOMG guinea peeeg spiez! Super guinea pig agents are out to stop a billionaire baddie in Jerry Bruckheimer's new G-Force movie. Hooray for secret agent critters with gadgets!

No one ever suspects the guinea pig. A group of technologically enhanced furries take on a billionaire bad guy who wants to control the world. The underwater pigs you see below — Juarez (voiced by Penélope Cruz) and Blater (voiced by Tracey Morgan) — are described as "little James Bonds," by Bruckheimer to USA Today. The cast also boasts the vocal talents of Nicolas Cage as Speckles, Sam Rockwell as Darwin, and Steve Buscemi as Bucky. Also making an appearance are Will Arnett, Zach Galifianakis and Bill Nighy, who plays the evil doer Leonard Saber. The evil genius builds a mechanized army, and it's up to the pigs to stop him.

G-Force hits theaters July, 24 2009.

August 24th 2009--- Armys of unwanted, impulsed purchased guinea pigs get dumped at local animal shelters. Sparkiepop adopts 1000 guinea pigs.

[sparkiepop]

Hahahaha.

I asked Zach to try to get Basil in the movie. He told me that during the entire filming he never once saw an actual guinea pig.

Basil missed his big break :(

Coming 2010, G-Force 2: Basil's Big Break

Out Cold is on Comedy Central right now. A lot of people make fun of it, but I love Zach in this movie. And he's adorable on skis.
