Hey, What’s Zach Galifianakis Been Up To Lately?

Filed Under Movies, Pranks, Print

Glad you asked. First of all, he’s gotten a book deal:

NON-FICTION: HUMOR
Writer/star of both his own Comedy Central special and the recent Live At The Purple Onion DVD Zach Galifianakis’s ZACH GALIFIANAKIS: Comedians Of Comedy, a humorous sequence of essays and musings that shed some light on his magical beard, to Ben Greenberg at Grand Central, by Sally Willcox at CAA (World).

Hard to say how good that will be. Galifianakis material is mostly one-liners, briliant one-liner. He’s also highly improvisational. Will that work as a book?

Also, he’s staring in the upcoming Visioneers, which has cult written all over it. Zach stars as a mid-level office worker who’s worried he’s going to explode. And he appears to have dreams that he’s George Washington.

There’s a level of distance that’s all over this, but it’ll be interesting to see if that’s because of quirk or because that’s the only way to deal with the things George is feeling.

And, when he’s not doing those, he’s making college girls uncomfortable…

Patton Oswalt goes straight to his demo this weekend, performing in Saturday's closing ceremonies for BlizzCon for players of World of Warcraft. A more perfect nerdgasm I cannot imagine.

Oct7

Rumor has it Republican VP candidate Sarah Palin may appear on Saturday Night Live. She might play Tina Fey as she appears in the American Express commercials.

New on DVD: the Second Season of 30 Rock and the South Park collection "The Cult of Cartman: Revelations"

Oct6

Tina Fey will pen a book of humorous essays for Little, Brown & Co. Her deal will involve a donation to the charity Books for Kids (who probably couldn't read Fey's book 'til they're older).

If you're ever driving through Georgia, you may want to stop by the Laurel and Hardy museum in the town of Harlem. Oliver Hardy was born in the town in 1892.
