A Good Opportunity

Flight of the Conchords: On Air is a unique opportunity to spend an hour behind the scenes with Bret McKenzie and Jemaine Clement, the comedic pair that have taken "New Zealand's fourth most popular guitar-based digi-bongo acapella-rap-funk-comedy folk duo" to the world. This documentary by Wellington filmmaker Hannah Clarke, Flight of the Conchords: On Air tracks unlikely heroes Bret McKenzie and Jemaine Clement on their journey to international acclaim. Both hilarious and illuminating, the story takes a look at life for the Conchords as they deal with new found fame and the many pressures of producing their successful comedy show.

New Fans

Tonight The Conchords triple their fan base after playing at a local world-music jam, but Mel is not impressed. Murray has an excellent suggestion that should boost their star power and enhance their image. He encourages the boys to take on more of a 'rock-star' attitude. Will it work, or end disastrously?

Kiwi comic Rhys Darby has had his name added to the list of potential replacements for the departing Steve Carell on the American series The Office.

Entertainment Weekly has confirmed that the Flight of the Conchords star has been tentatively approached by producers of the American comedy to gauge his interest in joining the cast as a possible replacement for Carell.

Several names have been bandied around as the producers look to fill the gap soon to be left by Carell, with another early frontrunner being Danny McBride, who has featured in the likes of Pineapple Express and HBO series Eastbound & Down.

The Office showrunner Paul Lieberstein confirmed to EW that they are “having discussions” with several rising comic-actors, including Darby, to gauge interest.
