Watch Matt Zaller's Creepy Awkward Celeb Interviews
Filed under: Comedy, Fandom, Trailers and Clips

Tooling around online this morning I came across this pretty funny interview from National Lampoons' Matt Zaller for Jennifer's Body, where, during the junket, he sat down with both Megan Fox and Johnny Simmons, but then ignored Fox the entire time -- made her wear a paper bag over her head so she wouldn't "get in the way" -- and then proceeded to chat with Simmons about potential sequels for Hotel for Dogs ... for like four and a half minutes. I was like, um, okay, that was odd -- because it was pretty clear this wasn't a skit or a sketch, and that neither Fox nor Simmons had any idea this dude was gonna pull out this weird stuff. So, instead, they just went with it ... and if you've seen Fox interviewed before, nothing phases this girl. You could be interviewing her while on fire, and she'd use you to light her cigarette and make the best of the situation.
So I thought, should I post this? I don't know. Because I figured you all would yell and cry stuff like, "That was so lame dude -- Cinematical sucks! I've seen other people do stuff like this! Huge fail!" But then a friend of mine just passed along Zaller's interview with Matt Damon for The Informant, and, well, it's fantastic. Not only does the dude wear clothing with pictures of himself photoshopped to make it look like he was hanging with Damon at some point, but he plays this recorded song that he made ... and, yeah, you just have to watch it for yourself.
Zaller's shtick sort of reminds me of Zach Galifianakis' Between Two Ferns, except here I don't believe the celebs are aware of what's going to take place. Watch them both after the jump and let us know what you think.
Oh, and more please.

Considering what I've read about her lately, I'm surprised she wasn't a jerk about this -- but "Hotel for Dogs" is about her speed (wih apologies to all the dogs out there).

I didn't know how I felt about Megan Fox before this interview, especially since I'm a saved Christian, but she sure handled that better than I would have. She is definitely not a stuck-up Diva. She's just a fierce DIVA. Her face is so stunning. God bless her. Even though I hope she will or has received Jesus as her savior, I might be a fan now!!!
MatT Damon doesn't have time for this nonsense. This is a grown man and the interviewer went to far when he was messing with his family. Actually, Matt was quite attractive getting mad like that like he was going to tare the guy apart. You go Matt!! I love TESTOSTERONE!!!

Finally we have someone like Megan Fox who is not afraid to say what she thinks, she is not politically correct and that is a blessing.
She is pretty and funny and not like all these hypocritical.
We need more like her.

Ok. I kinda loved that Jennifer's Body interview. Not sure I could handle watching this kind of thing that much, though. Comedy is hard.

Ida know, I think this shows Fox has a healthy sense of self deprecating humor. It moves her up a peg or two imo. Matt, too.

I completely agree, i think the media gives us a bad impression of her but when she responds to things she always makes me think better of her. Like the time when they insisted on comparing her to Angelina Jolie, (when really there is no contest Jolie wins automatically just a personal opinion) her response was classic, something to the effect of I have never compared myself to her its the media because they have nothing better to do than make stuff up. Not a direct quote but the jist of it. Made me like her a whole lot better.

I agree. Both of these interviews were setups for laughs. Megan Fox deadpans this really well, so it is quite clever and funny. The Matt Damon one was set up pretty well too. Both are pretty dry, and there is nothing real in any of the exchanges that one should infer anything negative about the actors themselves. It's all "lampoon."

Megan Fox actually looked like she was trying to hide the fact that she was pissed because it wasn't all about her.
Great stuff!!

Zach Galifinakis should sue. Blatant rip-off of Between Two Ferns.
