From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Between Two Ferns is one of the most consistently funny shows of the past decade, but has been limited to a short YouTube video format.
That’s about to change, however, with Netflix working on a feature-length version of the Funny or Die show.
“An all-star lineup has shot, or is slated to shoot, appearances,” THR reports, including Keanu Reeves, Peter Dinklage and David Letterman, along with Galifianakis’s Hangover co-stars Bradley Cooper and Ed Helms.
Details on the project are scant. One would imagine there will be some sort of element of narrative and/or mockumentary involved, and the film will not just be 90 minutes of mock interviews.
Across the 21 episodes of Between Two Ferns, the biggest names in Hollywood have volunteered to be mocked by Galifianakis’s petulant host, including Natalie Portman, Jon Hamm, Steve Carell, Justin Bieber, Brad Pitt and Charlize Theron.
President Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton also featured in one-off specials, and earlier this year a Jerry Seinfeld and Cardi B instalment was tacked onto an episode of Seinfeld’s Comedians in Cars getting Coffee.
