Zach Galifianakis Reveals Potential Plot for The Hangover Part III, Makes Awkward Gay Joke

To the surprise of no one, The Hangover Part III continues to be a thing. "They want to do a Hangover III," Zach Galifianakis told Rolling Stone. "I'm getting fricking phone calls already." Per the hirsute star, the third film would potentially revolve around Phil and Stu (Bradley Cooper and Ed Helms) breaking Galifianakis' Alan out of a mental institution. Which, sure. What's really interesting about the interview, however, is Galifianakis' awkward encounter with Jane Lynch and Modern Family star Jesse Tyler Ferguson.

Only segments of the Rolling Stone cover interview are online, but in one, Galifianakis recalls a failed attempt at humor during an after party for the White House Correspondents' Dinner.

At the after party he wandered down to the pool and bumped into Jane Lynch and her wife and Modern Family's Jesse Tyler Ferguson and his boyfriend. "Nice to meet you!" he said to the group. "I didn't realize it was Gay Night by the swimming pool." At the time, he saw nothing wrong with the exchange. "I walked away like, 'Another good one!'" he says. "But my girlfriend said, 'I gotta tell you, Zach - that did not go over well. You have to watch people's reactions!'"

Ooof. At least it's not difficult to picture Galifianakis giving himself a congratulatory fist-pump amid the horrified faces of Lynch and Ferguson?
