Comedian Tina Fey gave funnyman Zach Galifianakis a bit of ‘what for’ in his ongoing Funny or Die web series Between Two Ferns.
The two Greek American masters of laughter sat down for a mocked up version of vacant celebrity interviews, that was until Galifianakis took the “female’s in comedy” gabs too far and got his fair share of lip from Fey.
“There is a level of malice to your whole behaviour and questioning style, while kind of humorous, is actually very cowardly,” she charged.
“It’s almost like you’re being willfully obtuse in these questions to make some kind of vague point of the fatuous nature of celebrity interviews, which is a pretty well-trod observation. Yes, we all agree, celebrity interviews are vacant and empty, but at the same time, you asked me to come here.”
The footage leaves you with a feeling of ‘oh no she didn’t!’ And she didn’t, the whole thing was a carefully scripted comedy routine.
