Zach Galifianakis set to star on upcoming FX series
From Vulture:
FX announced today that they’ve given a series order to a show co-created by Galifianakis, Louis C.K., and Jonathan Krisel (Portlandia, Saturday Night Live). Entitled Baskets, Galifianakis will play Chip Baskets, a man who dreams of becoming a professional clown, but after a failed attempt at attending a fancy Parisian clowning college, he takes the only clowning job he can find, working at a local rodeo. The ten-episode first season will air in 2016, which gives them plenty of time to figure out how to apply clown makeup to a beard.

Zach Galifianakis and Louis C.K. to have a pilot for FXX
From Vulture:
FX has ordered a comedy pilot from Zach Galifianakis, the network announced today. Galifianakis created and will star in the show, which will be co-written with Louis C.K., who will also serve as one of the show's executive producers. This is the first series from C.K. under his recent production deal with FX, and it's one of a dozen comedy pilots currently in production at FX and FXX. No word yet on the show's style, format, subject matter, or production schedule, but the important part is that it's a show from Zach Galifianakis and Louis C.K.

Zach Galifianakis has a pilot for Adult Swim
From Vulture:
"Apparently, when he's not cutting hair, Zach Galifianakis is living in a haunted house with Tim & Eric. Well, that's at least what his new Adult Swim pilot would like you to believe. Entitled Tim & Eric’s Bedtime Stories: Zach’s Haunted House, the show would feature those three knuckleheads as relatives whose grandfather dies and leaves them each $1,000, but in order to collect, they must live in his haunted mansion for the rest of their lives. Just a guess, but it'll probably be super weird."

Will Ferrell and Zach Galifianakis read 50 Shades of Grey
It goes about as well as you'd expect, but is also as funny as you'd expect.

Jimmy Fallon on Zach Galifianakis?
On last night's Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy had Zach Galifianakis on as a guest, but instead of doing a normal interview they decided to switch places. Hilarity ensues:

The latest installment of "Between Two Ferns"
I can't believe I haven't posted anything about Zach Galifianakis' hilarious "Between Two Ferns" before, but at least I'm doing it now. The latest installment -a full episode- aired last night before Comedy Central's the Comedy Awards. What's that you say? The Comedy Awards? Yeah, I didn't watch them either. Regardless, here's a clip of the episode; full video here.

Hangover 3 coming in 2013
From ComingSoon:
Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures are reteaming with Todd Phillips for "The Hangover Part III," the third installment in the record-breaking comedy franchise, which is slated for release on
May 24, 2013. The announcement was made today by Jeff Robinov, President Warner Bros. Pictures Group.
"The Hangover Part III" will star Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms and Zach Galifianakis, who will reprise the roles of Phil, Stu and Alan, collectively known to moviegoers as the Wolfpack. In the previous two films, the three friends' attempts to plan a celebration have resulted in disaster for them, but led to a combined billion-dollar success at the worldwide box office.
In making the announcement, Robinov stated, "We are extremely pleased to have Todd Phillips and the guys back together again for another 'Hangover,' and we look forward to collaborating with them on another great movie."
Phillips said, "I'm so excited to embark on another 'Hangover' film with Bradley, Ed and Zach. We're going to surprise a lot of people with the final chapter we have planned. It will be a fitting conclusion to our three-part opera of mayhem, despair and bad decisions."

Zach Galifianakis walks out on Conan
On last night's Conan, Zach Galifianakis made perhaps the greatest entrance on the show. Later, he made perhaps the greatest exit when he walked out during his interview with Conan. Check out the video to find out why:

Review: The Hangover Part II
Just got back from seeing The Hangover Part II (and subsequently missing the end of that epic 19 inning Phillies game where Wilson Valdez got the win), and figured I'd give my review. Spoiler free, if you're worried.
If you couldn't already tell from the trailer, the plot of The Hangover Part II is nearly identical to The Hangover's plot. For most movies this would mean box office bust, but not for this one. Set in Bangkok instead of Vegas, the Wolfpack gets drugged, spends a wild night partying, and loses Stu's fiance's brother Teddy instead of Doug. They wake up in a random hotel room again, and have no idea what happened the night before. They try to figure out what happened once again, all the while trying to find Teddy.
Part II has its share of violence, probably more than the previous installment. Of course, it's always unexpected as we find out what's going on the same time as the characters. The unexpectedness is part of what makes the films so good, in my opinion. Even though my predictions were almost always wrong it's fun to guess, and crazy to see what they actually came up with.
Chow plays a much bigger role this time around, not only in screen time but also in importance. I felt like his involvement (thanks to Alan) was a little forced at first, but it ended up making some sense in the end (and allowed for a great cameo by Paul Giammati). Brian Callen makes a return appearance, but not as the same character from The Hangover. Mike Tyson also returns in a surprise performance. But perhaps the best actor in the entire movie was the monkey. Seriously.
I do have to say that the sequel was much much raunchier, even more than the unrated edition of the first. I saw enough penis to last me quite a while. That being said, most of it wasn't just thrown in there for no reason, and it usually set up for a funny joke/scene. Speaking of the jokes, they were spot on just like before. Zach Galifianakis as Alan was hilarious again; I'm glad he played the role just as well. The foul language obviously makes a return, but it's rarely just cursing for the sake of cursing. Not to mention you shouldn't see this movie if you're worried about that kind of thing anyway.
All in all, The Hangover Part II was exactly as advertised; raunchy, hilarious, exciting, and fun. I'm trying not to compare it to The Hangover too much, as I'd have to see it again to have a fair judgment. After just the one viewing, however, it was pretty much on par with the first. A little bit more "out there" or over the top, but I feel they had to do that in order to keep it fresh and different enough. If The Hangover was a 10/10, The Hangover Part II would be around an 8.75/10 as of now. I'd say that's pretty damn good, considering the plots were virtually the same. This would doom most movies, but not this one. It holds up tremendously well, and will certainly go down as one of the funniest films of the year. Do yourself a favor and go see it. It'll be a good time, guaranteed.
-Also, the trailer for "Horrible Bosses" (with Charlie Day from "Always Sunny") looks like another funny movie worth seeing.
-During the scene in Alan's bedroom, there was a poster of "Macho Man" Randy Savage featured fairly prominently. He died only about a week ago, so there was no way they could have done this on purpose. Eery coincidence?
