Zach Galifianakis, who is this guy?

[DarkHelmet]

I stay pretty current on pop culture, but who in the heck is this guy? I can't log on to any news site without seeing him.

He just crashed the set of "Law and Order". Why would this be news worthy?? :rolleyes

Flash in the pan actor, made famous in "The Hangover".

Latest in the anti-hero slob category.

Don't you mean the new Seth Rogan? That's pretty much the roll he's taken over.

 

[James Kenobi 1138]

He's been a stand up commedian for many years, really paid his dues out on tour. Tv and movies are a more recent celebrity for him.

 

[BIKERFETT]

He was in Tru calling with Eliza Dushku 2 seasons

 

[nickytea]

Been my hands-down favorite stand up comedian for YEARS.

 

[JoMamma_Smurf]

The guy is damn funny. He's been on HBO's Bored to Death (I think it's called)

 

[Sean Bradley]

Really hilarious stand-up:

Brilliantly absurd dark comedy:

I found 'The Hangover" to be a bit overrated.. He's funny, but seeing him dumb-down his schtick for Hollywood is really depressing.

my favorite skit

Hey, he's Fat *****. :lol I like him too and love Bored to Death. It's just that guys like he and Rogan seem to be in almost every comedy that comes out of Hollywood for a while and then they become extinct.

Comparing him to Seth Rogen is an insult to Galifianakis. He is 10 times funnier. I dont usually go for those types (who play off of their out-of-shapeness and slobiness), but theres so much more to him. He sort of reminds me of Steven Wright at times...

He was in Tru calling with Eliza Dushku 2 seasons

That's how I'll always remember him as.

Yep his standup is awesome and he is a very talented piano player!

Known about him for 10 years.

I've been a fan of his stand up for years too. His contemporaries are also amazing:

I'm glad to see Galifianakis get a piece of the pie, finally. He was great on SNL last night.

 

[DarkHelmet]

wow, even in today's age of instant news and information, some people can still fall under the radar for some.

Watch second half and tell me he isnt talented... at least somewhat funny. I think he is hillarious at standup.

 

[Goosebot 5000]

i love the guy. he was hilarious on dog bites man, and all his standups are absolutely hilarious to me.

 

[El Duderino]

I've been a fan of his since I was in High school, hilarious.

 

[DarkHelmet]

Ok, just watched a whole bunch of his youtube clips.

To each their own. I didn't find anything funny about the guy.....at all.
