B2F’s With ZG

Yesterday brought us the Internet premiere of DJ Steve Porter’s “Press Hop 2″, and I thought that would be the highlight of my week – yes, I fully realize how pathetic this sounds.  Well, that all changed today when I found out a new edition of the talk show “Between Two Ferns” was now showing on Funny or Die.  The latest guest to stop by Galifianikis’s plant paradise is his Dinner for Schmucks co-star Steve Carell.  Carell recently made headlines after revealing the news that he would not return to The Office when his contract expires after the 2010-11 season.  Since that time, a lot of discussions about whether or not the show can survive without Michael Scott have taken place on various websites and TV shows.  Some say the ensemble cast can continue to carry the show, but others believe that when he leaves, the show will not be able to go on without him – or will be a shell of its former sitcom self.  While I enjoy the secondary cast of characters as much as the next Office fan, I still believe that Michael Scott is the straw that stirs the Dundler Mifflin coffee.  It’s hard to imagine anyone else being able to perfectly combine equal parts ignorance, comedy, and total obliviousness with the cringe-inducing moments Carell provides on a weekly basis.  But then it dawned on me.  There is one person I can think of who just might be able to pull it off, and it just so happens to be Zach Galifianikis.  I’d put the chances of this happening at roughly .00000000001%, but it never hurts to dream.
