Watch Zach Galifianakis skewer Brad Pitt on 'Between Two Ferns'
How can you possibly improve on an appearance from the President of the United States? Funny or Die's "Between Two Ferns" brings in Brad Pitt as a follow-up — and host Zach Galifianakis isn't thrilled about the downgrade. "Now I gotta go back to interviewing dumb actors. That's all I'm saying," he complains as the episode begins.
Galifiankis spends almost six minutes skewering Pitt in the new "Between Two Ferns" (with a short break for a surprise appearance from a special guest). But Galifiankis doesn't really get going until the end of the video, when he delves into Pitt's romantic past. Watch now, and see how hard you cringe. --Scott Meslow
