Jezebel: if you're into it

Will Flight Of The Conchords Return For Third Season?

According to Jemaine Clement, in an interview for Austin360, "We've said no, but I don't know if anyone was listening. I think people might just ignore us and force us into it." But is he joking?

Maybe. "They'll inject us with something that makes us do it. If you see us in a season three you'll know that we're probably under hypnosis," Clement said. Or maybe not. At the Television Critics Association Press Tour in July, HBO President Michael Lombardo said, "We've told them that we're ready to go for a third season," and that it will happen "at some point."

Flight Of The Conchords Talk To The NYT Magazine

Tracie — Wed, 25 Feb 2009 16:40:00 EST

Bret McKenzie and Jemaine Clemet will appear in the NY Times Magazine this Sunday, telling interviewer Deborah Solomon what it's like living in New York, and what they think of Obama's stimulus package.

Here's a snippet:

Bret: [New York is] a good city if you want to struggle. It's easy to struggle in New York. I think New York is a bit expensive. It's too expensive to hang out unless you've got a TV show.

Any thoughts on the president's new stimulus package? What do you recommend for the U.S. economy?
Jemaine: Budgeting.
Bret: Yeah, the government should do a budget.

I believe we already have a budget.
Jemaine: It doesn't seem like it…Maybe the American government could get a second job.
Bret: A part-time job. Or maybe the government should get its own TV show.

Flight Of The Conchords: Jemaine Becomes A Prostitute

Tracie — Mon, 26 Jan 2009 11:20:00 EST

On last night's episode, Jemaine decided to become a prostitute after the band had to sell their instruments when they ran into financial peril due to the purchase of a $2.79 cup.

Of course, the idea of randomly being offered sex with Jemaine on the streets of NYC is a dream come true for tons of girls (and Mel), but in FOTC reality, he could barely get work. In this clip, he sings about his sexual assets — his balls — which he refers to as his "sugar lumps." And for any of you Wire fans out there, did you notice that Nigel the Nigerian investor was Brother Mouzone (real name: Michael Potts)? He's not credited on IMDb for it, but his name did appear in the credits at the end of the episode.
