Gordon Keith's Extremely Uncomfortable Interview With Zach Galifianakis

- The infamous interview. Watch Zach Galifianakis be interviewed by Gordon Keith on national local television. Is Zach being trolled or is he in on a Between Two Ferns spoof?
The Story Behind the Story
In September of 2010, Gordon Keith sat down with Zach Galifianakis for an interview in Toronto. The plan? Simple. Promote a film, then retire to the hotel room for "Hand Towel Assault Time." But things in life are rarely predictable. After a shaky start, Keith settles into a rhythm of incompetence. Zach gamely attempts to answer Keith's ill-constructed questions, but his patience wears thin. After a million stumbles, the interview ends with a whimper followed by an exhortation that has become a frequent military rallying cry- "Don't forget to smell Emma."
Was this Gordon Keith's failure or Zach Galifianakis's's elaborate prank America? Science will one day know.
"Did you know her before you met her?"
What a brilliant question lol.
I was looking for this comment lol
Lol I'm still laughing from that.
I cried..
Err ... Crying!!!
@@Nevan7 If you know them online, then you met them online.
@@angelgregio or through tv newspapers etc.
“The wearing of the sweaters… well, you’ve worn a sweater before.”
“Never on film”
😂
ya best line for sure. He was quick!
Lmao I can’t believe I’ve never seen this. I thought it was a serious interview until he started asking the questions. 😂
It was so perfect
😂😂😂😂
@ brilliant
zach just got ferned
I guess...except for this guy sucks at it
he sucked to make Zach much more uncomfortable.
BassHeadsProduction that’s what I thought of
Haha Yea this was fucking hilarious
Exactly!
I feel like this guy was the inspiration behind Zach's character in between two ferns
I was just thinking the same thing!! Like, did this dude inspire him? HAD TO
Yeah, ever since Between Two Ferns came out I feel like he drew inspiration from Gordon Kieth. The funny part of some of Gordon’s earlier stuff was how the actors went in completely blind to his awkward interviews. Watching them laugh and figure it out was so much fun. Between Two Ferns is still funny, but it’s more scripted and the actors know what they’re getting into.
@UnjustifiedRecs yeah just like Zach's character on Between..
I think B2F came first.
@@busTedOaS I’m not sure that’s correct….
He had me at “yes, more specifically”.
Bro I’m riding in a truck w a coworker trying to keep my shit together and he’s pulls that
lol
Answering that he is indeed talking about the most vague question possible 😭
Meeeeee too
Hahahahahaha. More specifically....all movies.
This is where Zach got the idea for between two ferns.
scottpaulf my thoughts exactly
I think between two ferns was made before this interview took place but I could be wrong.
Check out Gordon Keith interviewing Dax Shepard and Kristen Bell. It’s brilliant.
@@ilayali_ My thoughts..... exactly... wait what?
@@BGIANAKy You could be wrong, but I could be wrong.
"You've worn a sweater before?"
"Never on film."
Your move, Galifianakis.
You could see Zach crack a smile there.
Great wit!
😂😂😂 he had no comeback!!!

IDK why a 12 year old video was just recommended to me the day after Christmas, but RUclips knows when I'm ready to watch a video and when I'm not. I guess I needed 12 years of video watching before RUclips felt I was ready for this particular gem.
RUclips knows best...🤣
Yes. Can you now please compare & contrast all the videos in the past 12 years to this one.
@@bravosierra2447😂😂😂
Ditto!
Just got my recommendation today. I was only 19 when this video came out. Life was totally different lol
He actually got pranked with his own humor. Nice.
Highly
I believe this was where he got the idea for between 2 ferns

Legend has it that this guy tortured people for the CIA with his questions
🤣🤣🤣🤘
Those rumours were debunked countless times by the government
@@BPBrutalPenguin Lol do you really trust the government to tell the truth about what the CIA does? Hell, I doubt any government officials outside of the CIA even knows themselves
@@MasterOfKnowledge. it's a joke man, the said "rumours" are clearly a joke so my response is evidently sarcastic and hardly in relation to any "real" rumours. Obviously we can't trust the gov and we especially can't trust the CIA.
@@BPBrutalPenguin That's my b. So many people nowadays actually believe they were just simple rumors, you can never be too sure
"Well, yes, more specifically" is genius and i'm pretty sure it almost broke Zach immediately
Matt Wix yeah that line made me burst out laughing, it’s like “yes specifically the movies that have actually been made “ lol
Yee
you realize that zach wrote all the questions right?
this is a comedy skit... Gordon works for KTCK radio, his speech skills are actually good lol
@@lusio7182 for sure saying "all the questions" was probably hyperbolic as im sure gordon was involved
“Emma Roberts…star of……..Emma Roberts movies.” Absolute genius.
😂

@Frost Rusher ALIEN!!!
🤣🤣🤣👍
It's worked beautifully for some, like Donald Trump.
where is your pfp from?
You must be talking about Zach because a lot of individuals nowadays sound like Gordon, while I sit patiently like Zach lol
“Finally the most important question. This is what I’ve been building up to. This may be tense…. Ok we’re out of time” lmao
"This has made me tense..." That's what he said, Zach cut him off and he didn't have time to ask the most important question.
Compare and contrast this film with all the other films that have been made.
HalfTimesTwo do we have the time?
It’s kind of a funny story, compared to most.
i bursted out laughing right there lol

Well yes more specifically.
its uncomfortable how comfortable the interviewer is.
"She looks like she smells good to me."
@Bryce same same
You realize it’s a joke right?
I was gonna say that.
He's taking the piss
Did this man just say “Emma Roberts, star of Emma Roberts movies”
Hahaha what theeeeee fuck?!?!
Yes lol hahahaha

It was a joke.
“Compare and contrast this movie to all the other films that have been made” 😂😂😭

Gordon actually outclassed Zach which was evident by Zach's involuntary laughter. I'm impressed.

“You’ve worn a sweater before?”
“Never on film”
LMAOO 😂
Lmao !! “Youve worn a sweater before ?”
“Never on film”. Lol why is that so funny ?
I was hoping Zach would say, “it’s a lot like wearing them not on film”
Dude I died on that line.
Gold
Because you're simple. I'm sorry... you asked.
Delivery
"He's in this movie like you wouldn't believe." I locked up in laughter! Holy shit! 🤣🤣💀💀
i seized up
when you make Zach look normal, you've done something right.
He isn’t normal?
@@nukacolacompany2534no his entertainment character isn’t
This guy goes “compare your movie to all movies” and then goes “well with all movies to be specific”
Compare and contrast
No the question became movie that have been made so movies that haven’t been made yet are not in the question
this is a comedy skit... Gordon works for KTCK radio, his speech skills are actually good lol
some people watched the video
LOL I'm dying
“I guess Lost is kinda known as more of a TV show now” LOL
I don't quite get that one
@@YouKnowUAreRight I dont think it ever was a movie my brother
This is the greatest line in the interview
“Did y’all know each other before you met”
Yes, as if it used to be called a film 😂😂😂
OMG, I just stumbled upon this and I am roaring with laughter.
Zach to his management team after this interview: “hey I have an idea”
between 2 ferns came first..
2 years earlier prior to this interview

you are harsh, i thought it was pretty funny seeing tables turned
obv not as good as zach tho ;)
That was the best line in the video.
lmaoooooo
"I know it's accurate, but is it fair?" LMAO
Native people teach bathing to Europeans... 300 years later we’re the savages still... cool
@@littlebitstrouds "pick me choose me"
@@littlebitstrouds I think some Europeans bathed throughout history, except for the French, English and Italians. Fun fact, the French, English and Italians still don't bathe, they just drink until they can't smell anything anyways. Though body odor wouldn't be an issue for the baguette boys, since the snails they eat ensures the BO is drowned out!
@@littlebitstrouds “teach bathing” LMFAO what?
I really enjoy how Zach was thrown off balance at first, and then gradually began to warm up to the experience when he realised he was dealing with a comic genius in disguise. By the end of the interview, it turned into admiration
And even led to Between to ferns :P
He should have Gordon Keith on between two ferns to get him back
@b sprout haha true
b sprout between two ferns started 2 years before this
@@jeetywheety7008 i'm glad somebody said something. i'm like "which came first?" easily researchable, but i'm too lazy.
if BTF (not blessthefall lol) came first, then zach should totally recognize what this dude is doing though. weird
SpaceMissile I think this is a bit and Zacks just playing off it
@@jeetywheety7008 i'm pretty sure too. just seems like it takes a minute for him to catch on

This is clearly what inspired Zach to create between two ferns
Pretty sure this happened in 2010 and btf started in 2008.
According to Wikipedia The Kieth Gordon Show only ran from 2007 to 2009.
It's just karma
1000%
i totally believe so
The funniest part was when Zach repeated the compare and contrast question to make sure he understood and the interviewer says, um, yes...more specifically." lol That makes NO sense!
"You've worn a sweater before?"
"Never on film."
touche all day
3:25 The smile Zach gets at "Now this is the question I've really been building toward...", awkward pause, "and now it looks like we're out of time." is adorable.
When he said “never on film” to not having worn a sweater.
Fucking hilarious
@@Rimmy_ thanks!
So fucking funny, and most of all the casual way he says it XD I cant even
@@AGSBraintoast it's such a weird response, would've caught me off-guard, so unexpected! 😂👌🏻
What a legendary interview.
This reminds me of a job interview I had.
“It’s kind of a funny story, Based on a really funny book” omfg that line is pure gold and zack fucking loved it 😂
Gordon: “... and he is in this film like you wouldn’t believe.”
Zack: “That’s exactly right”
“You’ve worn a sweater?”
“Never on film.”
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
“He is in this film like you wouldn’t believe”
That’s exactly right
Yes what does that even mean 🤣
Sounds like something Trump would say 😭
@@Plasma250 it does? Hmm weird
@@itsAmeOFP i dont believe
I love that long pause after the first question, can't stop laughing.
"And he is in this film, like you wouldn't believe." - LOL.
you met her.... what did she say??/ dead
Brilliance! Majestic!
Funniest line of the entire thing.
thats my favorite line
"He is in this film like you wouldn't believe"
I don't think Zach saw this coming, but being a talented comedian, he picked up on it and seems impressed with Gordon's clever fake questions.
Brandon Luft the way you do it is like Sasha Baron Cohen did it with Ali G, you ask a bunch of good questions and then stuoid ones from time to time, to fool them.
he knows his own medicine..
Between 2 ferns was inspired by this guy, he definitely saw it coming
Gordon is part of a morning 3-piece sports talk radio show in Dallas TX called "The Musers". He is a comedic genius! (1310 am)
@@gitsurfer27 "Between Two Ferns" started before this, you idiot...
Love how Zach swings his head back realizing the "never worn a sweater in a movie " line is pure gold
This interview needs to be studied by Congress.
Don't you think they are not wasting enough time already?
@@bengrizzlyadams6187 I'd say it's a better use of their time than what they are currently doing
Why? So nothing will ever come of it?
That is implying that Congress is smart enough to study this...
I agree, a Congressional commission should compare and contrast it with all the other interviews that have been, done, especially with the actors from The Wizard of Oz and Sling Blade.
Zach-“oh, it’s that kind of interview, let’s go with it.”
"This may surprise you, but I did wear a loin cloth and river bathe."
" So I can't say native " is what did it for me 😂
read both of these as he said it

@stillFLiP To all of them? Well..ehm yes, more specifically.
Brilliant
'Emma Roberts, star of Emma Roberts films...', technically correct.
"Compare and contrast this movie to all the other movies that have been made."
LOL!!!!
I don't know why but every time I watch this video it just keeps on getting better.
"Emma Roberts, the star of Emma Roberts movies, she is in this film, you met her?"
She looks like she smells good to me
What did she say?
😂😂 u are al funny
“Don’t forget to smell Emma” 😅😂🤣
This is fern to fern in reverse. Brilliant
I was just going to comment that this was the birth of "between two ferns." This interview is where it was born from.
ditto
Evidence to support that statement? (dbogust)
Joe Jr. no evidence, just an opinion.
So your opinion is that time travel exists. Between Two Ferns first aired in January 2008, this one in September 2010.
“You’ve worn a sweater before”
“Never on film”
Heaven forbid 🤣
Is that a Cosby sweater?
(Line said by Jack Black's character - High Fidelity)
"Um..yes, more specifically."
That line kills me every time haha.
I like the interviewer getting up to leave first, that's funny
It is, but this is marketing for a movie, the star(s) usually sit there while they just change the person interviewing so each magazine / website / whatever can do an interview.
He didn’t have the guts to smell Emma that’s why he left. He actually wanted to motorboat Zack’s beard….😅😅😅😅
“Y’all know eachother before you met”
"And he is in this film like you wouldn't believe" LOL!
“Emma Roberts, star of ummm…. Emma Roberts movies…” 😂😂😂 There’s NO WAY this isn’t a work. Way way too funny to be real.
"he's in this movie like you wouldn't believe" Lol
Stole that line from resident Trump, no doubt.

@@kingbradley6000 LMFAO
Great
@jace what’s it like, having your genitalia escape up into your body cavity?
“He is in this film like you wouldn’t believe” lol
Gordon was absolutely in on a prank, whether Zach was or not. Gordon perfectly cut his speaking mid sentence on the first question to throw everybody off and he did it perfectly. His tone of voice when speaking, how he stopped the hand movement and made direct eye contact with firm silence to indicate that was the end of the sentence. Truly hilarious and great work.
How has this guy not blow up….. perfect dry comedy
“Emma Robert’s, star of Emma Robert’s movies”
Zach loves him. I love it so much how much he appreciates Gordon's questions.
“. . .and he is in this film like you wouldn’t believe.” 😂😂😂😂
That sounds like trump 😝
stephen murphy 😂😂😂
I love how he smiled when he got the answer "I told her my jumper felt itchy", like he'd just struck interview gold.
I literally laughed the whole time. It’s pure genius. This is actually much harder than it looks.
Part of me is harder that it looks…my arteries.
I’m not sure why no one points out that this is where he got between two ferns. What’s the full story here? Is this real and if so, does he give that guy credit for BTF.?
If you don't know much about it can you compare and contrast it to all other RUclips videos ever posted?
@@pileofwit I’m sure that’s all you can manage.
@@jaimemedina3351 That hurts! Though it could just be my clogged, struggling heart.
Looks like Zach was like “WTF?!” in the beginning and to the end like: “Ok, I got bamboozeld”.
“Did y’all know each other before you met?”
I don't know who you are or why you popped up in my suggestions but this is beautifully played and perfectly timed!
This is pure genius. I had to watch it a couple times to truly appreciate. Gordon and zach are same level of humor genius
"Emma Roberts, the star of Emma Roberts movies" "Did you know each other before you met?"
“He is in this film like you wouldn’t believe” wow
I think this is the most 'normal' I've ever seen Zac 🤣 He's trying to balance out Gordon's weirdness. I love his interviews 😊
This seems almost rehearsed, and intentionally awkward, and knowing Zach's humor it makes sense.
What makes it legendary is it wasn't rehearsed. Zach had no idea what he was getting into, he was just sitting down at one of those press junkets where he does 30 different interviews in a day with various outlets around the country.
This was just two experts at awkward humor who'd never crossed paths before.
Zach did not know.
We finally get to see Zack get interviewed on between two ferns in a way. I mean these questions are like straight out of a between two ferns episode.
'You've worn a sweater?'
'Yes, but never on film'. ,,😂
I love how he smiled when he got the answer "The jumper feels itchy" like he'd just hit interview gold.
"Emma Roberts , star of Emma Roberts movies" lmao
God that was epic
this is maybe tense - we've run out of time - hope the guy knows how absolutely talented he is - a real golden moment
“You met her. What did she say?”
"Did you two know each other before you met?"
Oh he's good, he's damn good.
“Emma Roberts is a star of Emma Roberts movies” I lost it.
I really love how he just says he wouldn't have the guts to smell her, but not that that would be weird.
It's a standoff between the two most awkward interviewers. Let the camera roll...
Jon Miller eric andre is. These are a close second and third though
there is also Nathan Fielder haha
Connor Eaton Eric andre is not ackward. he's weird asf
"Well, umm yes, more specifically."
Indeed, that narrows it down a lot.
He outzached him.
Was he trolling Zach. I genuinely cannot tell, he may have outdid him at his own game.
Edit: he was, this was definitely a skit they prepared.
Based on Zach's responses, I feel like he caught on very quickly and was trying not to laugh. Interviewer absolutely nailed it and Zach recognized that and let him have his good interview. Between two ferns is staged and requires the person being interviewed to behave a certain way for the desired effect. Zach picked up on this quickly and let the run with it.
I don't understand how people don't pick up on acting
It was obvious right away that this is staged
Gordon works for KTCK radio, his speech skills are actually good lol
Yes, he was trolling
SmackMaximum ur so wrong lmao
"..I was trying to start a blood fued, but you caught that." LOL!
Two incredibly talented people playing off each other beyond this world. Bravo.
"We are out of time" xD zachs face when gordon builds up to that question in the end is hilarious
That little smirk
