“We have several interviews. What we tried to do is build a storyline, not necessarily around the interviews, but about the cable access station where we’ve been shooting these all these years,” Galifianakis said. Across the 21 episodes of Between Two Ferns, some of the biggest names in Hollywood had volunteered to be mocked by Galifianakis. It included former US president Barack Obama, Natalie Portman, Jon Hamm, Steve Carell, Justin Bieber, Brad Pitt and Charlize Theron. The show most recently returned for a special episode, featuring Jerry Seinfeld, Wayne Knigh and Cardi B.
