Actor-comedian Zach Galifianakis knows what he likes. The short list goes something like this: croissants, teeth and old guys who want him to pull their fingers. What Zach's fans like about him is his off-beat sense of humor--a trait that's led him to perform on both the big screen and stages far away from his hometown of Wilkesboro. The North Carolina native gets to return home this weekend, though, as a part of Will Ferrell's "Funny or Die" comedy show, which stops on the campus of UNC-Chapel Hill. Galifianakis schools host Frank Stasio on the correct pronunciation of his last name and shares some stories from his hilarious career.
