Todd Phillips’ The Hangover was one of the biggest comedy successes in recent memory; a runaway success at the box office, it also made stars out of its three leads Bradley Cooper, Zach Galifianakis and Ed Helms. Sadly, it was followed by two abysmal sequels, which virtually everyone agrees should never have seen the light of day. Including Zach Galifianakis.
“We’re contracted up to 12, I feel a real appetite out there for more,” joked the star on the WTF Podcast with Marc Maron. “Look, that was a good chunk of my life that I do not regret at all but I wished we had just done one. I think leave well enough alone sometimes. [However] in 10 years, when this all dries up, I’m sure I’ll be knocking on people’s doors, ‘Hey, I got this idea… look, I’m still weird!’”
Galifianakis’ new TV show Baskets debuted on FX this past week, while Tulip Fever, Keeping Up with the Joneses and Masterminds are all slated for release on the big screen this year.
