Between Two Ferns: A Fairytale of New York Synopsis

The special 30-minute “Between Two Ferns: A Fairytale of New York,” hosted by Galifianakis and produced by Funny Or Die, will air at 8:30 p.m. ET/PT and serve as a precursor to the 2nd annual “The Comedy Awards” airing at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT.

Hoping to do for ferns what Walters did for trees, Galifianakis – a multiple “Comedy Awards” nominee - will welcome fellow “Comedy Awards” contenders Tina Fey and Jon Stewart, as well as Sir Richard Branson, to his foliage-filled set for the show’s primetime television debut.

Funny Or Die’s award-winning series “Between Two Ferns with Zach Galifianakis” is an ‘anything goes, you-never-know-what’s-going-to-happen’ interview talk show. Shot between two ferns – literally –actor/comedian Zach Galifianakis asks questions to unassuming celebrities and personalities who often find themselves asking, and almost always out loud to Zach, ‘what am I doing here?’. Scott Aukerman (Comedy Bang Bang), is the Executive Producer and Director of “Between Two Ferns: A Fairytale of New York.”
