The National get the Funny or Die treatment
Matt and Tom Berninger are joined by Zach Galifianakis and Ted Danson.
The National aren’t all doom, gloom and doomy, gloomy epic anthems - honest. With documentary Mistaken For Strangers just about everywhere at the minute, it was the turn of frontman Matt Berninger and film-making brother Tom to receive the Funny or Die treatment.
In the video, titled ‘Mistaken For Strangers: The Play’, the band’s documentary is to be given the theatrical treatment courtesy of Zach Galifianakis and Ted Danson.
