In a brand new installment of Funny Or Die’s Between Two Ferns, host Zach Galifianakis is oddly missing. However, Zach’s twin brother — you may know him well if you own Zach’s 2007 DVD Live at the Purple Onion — turns up and saves the day.

Check out how he employs his masterful interview skills with screen giant Sean Penn. Enjoy!

Holy crap, it’s September already! That means that November is just around the corner which, more specifically, means that Team Coco is gearing up for the big man’s triumphant return to television. So far, details on the new venture, aside from its place on TBS at 11 pm EST, have been scarce – until now! Watch the video below, in which a still-bearded Conan reveals the title of his new show in a barren office!

Say what you what about Williamsburg, Brooklyn’s undisputed capitol of hipsterdom, but one thing it’s got going is smart, attentive people who are supportive of the arts. It’s known to New York comics as a fun place to put on a show, which is what makes the heckler in this Hannibal Buress video stick out like a horribly unwanted sore thumb.

Hecklers come in all shapes and sizes. Most of the time, their disruption is short and easily dealt with. Every so often though, there’s some idiot who wants attention and just won’t shut the fuck up. In the video below, we see how Buress deals with a persistently disruptive nuisance at the show he hosts every Sunday at the Knitting Factory. Keep in mind that Buress only gets nasty after the guy proves he’s a piece of shit who can’t take a hint.

This past weekend, I had the chance to catch Chris Hardwick — maybe you know him as @Nerdist on Twitter — at Helium Comedy Club in Philadelphia. It was the first time I saw him live doing a proper headlining set and have to say, was impressed. He has a masterful command of an audience, talking directly to single members throughout his set but never letting go of the rope and never at the expense of his material.

I should also mention that there were two huge bachelorette parties at the show I attended; they were sitting center stage a few rows back. I thought it would be certain disaster. But Hardwick made a few references during his set (they were hard to ignore) and went on his way, making the rest of us laugh.

After the show, Hardwick was nice enough to let me shove a Flip cam in his face backstage and have an informal chat. So, below these words there’s a video that shows how that went down. Enjoy!

Iconic stand-up comedian Robert Schimmel is in very serious condition after he, his daughter and son veered off a road in Arizona on Thursday.

TMZ is reporting that Schimmel’s daughter, 19 was driving the car, with the comedian in the passenger seat and his 11-year-old son in the back. “Sources tell us the daughter swerved to avoid an accident in her lane and the car rolled over on to the side of the freeway,” the website reports.

Schimmel’s son was released without injuries on Thursday; his daughter was admitted and is in stable condition. Schimmel, himself, is still in an unnamed hospital.

The well-respected comic is now almost as known for beating cancer as he is for his blue humor. He published his memoir Cancer on Five Dollars a Day (chemo not included): How Humor Got Me Through the Toughest Journey of My Life in 2009.

Check out this video interview below Punchline Magazine did around the time of his book’s release.

Last night on America’s Got Talent, Jimmy Fallon made a special appearance to help promote his Emmys hosting gig going down Sunday at 8 pm EST on NBC.

Now, for you haters out there thinking, “What’s Fallon doing on a talent show? He hasn’t got any talent.” Well, we’d like to say to you attitudy Judies (to quote comedian Pete Lee), it turns out the man can do 10 second imitations of a dozen comedians. That’s talent. Right? Maybe?

You decide. Check out the video below, wherein Fallon takes some time to become Jerry Seinfeld, Bill Cosby, Chris Rock, Robin Williams, Norm Macdonald, Gilbert Gottfried, Pee-Wee Herman (not sure how he fits in here), Jeff Foxworthy, Eddie Murphy, Larry the Cable Guy, Steven Wright and Adam Sandler.

Enjoy! Or not. We don’t want to tell you how to live your life.

Fresh off a string of recent career successes, Ricky Gervais is looking to keep his winning streak going with a new show on UK channel Sky1. In a doc-comedy (did we just coin a new genre here?) called An Idiot Abroad, Gervais and buddy Stephen Merchant have schemed to drop their mate Karl Pilkington into a different, foreign culture and film the results. As it happens, Pilkington is an aggressive misanthrope with severe people-hating issues, so the results are expected to be hilarious.

Check out a sneak peak here!

You can get more info on the show by visiting its official site. No premiere date has been announced.

Anyone who’s ever tried their hand at comedy knows how hard it is to find stage time – especially within the bureaucracy of the club system. This animated video, made with the help of Xtranormal.com, does a great job of breaking down the Catch-22 filled process of trying to squeeze spots out of a traditional club booker. It plays like watching a 1930’s shop owner deal with the local mafia, and, yes, it’s pretty dead on.

After successful stints in the U.S., Canada, and England, Williams is taking his Weapons of Self Destruction stand-up comedy tour to Australia.

At 59 years old, Williams continues to sell out large theaters with his truthful and vulgar stand-up act, with his recent tour being filmed for an HBO special last year in Washington. Tickets go on sale on Sept. 2 for the three stop tour. Williams will be entertaining Aussies in Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney with his three-time Emmy nominated routine.

You may remember that back in March, Williams ticked off the prime minister of Australia by calling the peope of the country “English rednecks” on Late Show with David Letterman. You can check out that video below.

We guess all has been forgiven.

The year 2010 is probably destined to go down in astrological history as the year of the Hoff. And hell, it’s not a bad sign to be born under. Hoffs are by nature dynamic, multi-faceted, able to communicate with inanimate objects, lush in chest hair, and sport that certain rogue appeal irresistible to grandmas the world over.

That being said, here we have some very exclusive outtakes from Comedy Central’s Roast of David Hasselhoff; a television event likely to be judged by history as our generation’s moon landing. Gaze with Hoffy wonder as roasters Pamela Anderson, Whitney Cummings, Hulk Hogan, Jeffrey Ross, George Hamilton, Seth MacFarlane, and Lisa Lampanelli cut our hero into burger slices on the carpeted floor.

Check ‘em out. Are you Hoff enough?
