In Between Two Ferns season 1 episode 13, host Zach Galifianakis welcomes actor and comedian Will Ferrell to the show. The setting is the same as previous episodes, with the two seated between two fern plants and facing a camera, creating a unique and humorous interview experience.
Throughout the episode, Galifianakis takes his usual approach of asking Ferrell awkward and often uncomfortable questions about his career and personal life. The interview begins with Galifianakis asking Ferrell about his height and jokingly suggesting that he is actually a child star. This sets the tone for the rest of the interview, which is filled with sarcasm, dry humor, and witty banter.
One of the standout moments of the episode occurs when Galifianakis asks Ferrell about his role as Ricky Bobby in the film "Talladega Nights". In typical fashion, Galifianakis turns the question into an opportunity to make fun of Ferrell and his career. He suggests that the film was "just an excuse for you to run around in your underwear," which elicits a laugh from Ferrell and sets the tone for the rest of the interview.
Another memorable moment comes when Galifianakis tries to convince Ferrell to join a group he has formed called "The Biznessmen". Galifianakis insists that the group is exclusive and only for people with impressive careers and lots of money. He goes on to suggest that Ferrell would be a good fit for the group because of his professional accomplishments, which include being in the "Elf" movie. Ferrell plays along with the joke, creating a playful dynamic between the two comedians.
Throughout the episode, the two also discuss Ferrell's experience doing live comedy, his childhood dreams of becoming a tennis player, and his affinity for wearing short shorts. The conversation is driven by Galifianakis' unique style of humor and his ability to make guests feel uncomfortable in a humorous way.
Overall, Between Two Ferns season 1 episode 13 featuring Will Ferrell is a hilarious and entertaining interview that showcases Galifianakis' ability to create a comedic atmosphere unlike any other interview show on television. With its off-beat premise and unconventional format, Between Two Ferns is a must-see for anyone who enjoys irreverent humor and unexpected moments.
