"Zach Galifianakis dreamed of becoming a star. But when Will Ferrell discovered his public access TV show Between Two Ferns and uploaded it to Funny Or Die, Zach became a viral laughing stock. Now Zach and his crew are taking a road trip to complete a series of high-profile celebrity interviews and restore his reputation," said a press release from the streaming service.

The actor and comedian previously interviewed former President Barack Obama and 2016 presidential candidate Hillary Clinton for Ferns.

Galifianakis, 49, is best known for his work in the Oscar-winning film Birdman, TV show Baskets and the Hangover film trilogy.
