I’m not going to lie — I was nervous to interview Zach Galifianakis at the Puss in Boots press junket. He’s kind of a comedy hero of mine, so much so that when I tried to tell him how dearly I loved the show Dog Bites Man, I got the name wrong. Sometimes I get so awks around my idols, guys! Blergh.
Luckily, Zach was really fun to talk to, which is how we ended up spending most of our time chatting about VH1 videos, wedding rings and ladies with thongs hanging out of their jeans. Zach also shared the tale of his cat, F Train, who went missing in Santa Monica, only to turn up living with an old lady who vowed to commit suicide if he took the cat back. You’ll have to watch our interview to find out how that story ended (hint: No one died). LOLs await you in the clip above, which is mostly unedited so you too can enjoy our pre-interview banter about Swing Out Sister, a band Zach claims was played on VH1 a lot back in the day. We’ll take his word for it — he was, after all, a VH1 personality for a hot minute.
