Loren, Taika and Jemaine jump into the stew

Was Jemaine hired for this part because his hands most closely resembled Jarrod’s hands? Find out the answers to these questions and [...]

Helio interview

He’s more settled in his nerdiness, happier with his inner geek, and with a lot more chest hair. As a result he’s [...]

Better than half

About 1.2 million people got to know Bret and Jemaine (the characters not the actual guys) this Sunday. According to Reuters, HBO’s Flight of the Conchords kept 55% of the Entourage audience. I’m not worried but just in case, I’m going to step up my Conchords campaign…(but I need to come up with one first.) [...]

Although I’ve heard the song before, I still could have peed my pants laughing so hard. They were great, of course. Both looked completely relaxed and happy.
