Zach Galifianakis smokes weed on live TV – My new hero!

The Hangover’s Zach Galifianakis show the world what a pair of brass balls looks like: Watch how smug, faux-libertarian host Bill Maher looks visibly uncomfortable despite putting on a weak fake laugh and quickly changing the topic. Gold. I was already a big fan of this guy anyway (if you only know him from The [...]
