The Most Outrageous Facts About Zach Galifianakis' Life

Galifianakis has admitted to trying to get himself fired from the short-lived drama series Tru Calling by slinging some cruelty at those around him. One thing he did, he told Rolling Stone, was taunt the series' lead actress, Eliza Dushku, by telling her she was eating too much on the set ("eating her way to cancellation," the article explains). He also lashed out at the show's writers by throwing scripts in the garbage and then saying, "Great script, Karen."

This might seem like the behavior one of his array of oddball characters might engage in, but nope, it was all him. He was reportedly so miserable on the show he resorted to playground bullying techniques to earn an ouster. "It was the dumbest show I'd ever seen. I remember calling the executive producer and saying, 'This show is terrible, doesn't make any sense, and it's insulting,'" he told GQ. "They thought it was me being Funny Stand-up Guy." Ah, the price of being funny; even when you're serious, they're still laughing.
