The guest pretending to be the host and the host pretending to be the guest isn’t the most groundbreaking of late night television ideas, but it is just another example of why Jimmy Fallon is the most innovative, web friendly, and — frankly — best host going.
And there’s really no better guest to do the old swap routine with than Zach Galifianakis. While Fallon does his bet to channel nervous interview Zach (bonus points to Jimmy for working in a Roots shout out), Zach just turns the reverse interview into a most excellent “Between Two Ferns” segment, asking bad questions about in-flight meals, confusing co-star names, and working in: “I love celebrities, they’re never wrong about anything.”
I don’t want to give too much away though, because this is just a fun watch. They even work in a clip and plug for Zach’s new questionable “talkie” The Campaign. Spoiler: he gained weight for the role.
UPDATE: Now with YouTube!

But, where are the ferns?
I think Aukerman has license over them.
Fallon is definitely the second best and by far the most web friendly host but Craig Ferguson is the best late night host right now
Agreed. Craig is simply the best.
You beat me to it, Aidan. Fallon has some moves, but Craig is by far the best late-night host.
Yes. Yes! YES! Love Craig Ferguson.
+10000000000 to The Roots for doing He Ain’t Gon’ Email You No Mo’. They are the best band on the planet.
