‘Between Two Ferns: The Movie’ Director Scott Aukerman On Crafting ‘Sorta Uncut Interviews’ & Potential Future Incarnation Of Zach Galifianakis’ Improvised Talk Show
Matt Grobar Assistant Editor, AwardslineBack in 2008, Scott Aukerman co-created Between Two Ferns, the rare short-form series that has maintained popularity over more than a decade.Hosted by Zach Galifianakis, the Funny or Die comedy plays with the ideas of celebrity image and the celebrity talk show appearance, watching as the comedian makes jokes at his A-list guests’ expense, and gets his fair share of barbs back.Earning two Emmys to date for the series, Aukerman elected last year to expand its world with the Netflix film, Between Two Ferns: The Movie.
