Bret McKenzie Talks Possibility Of Flight Of The Conchords Movie And The Music Of The Muppets

Flight of the Conchords

Bret McKenzie and Jemaine Clement are without a doubt, in my opinion, two of the funniest comedians ever to grace the big or small screen, and their rise to fame through their comedy duo/band, Flight of the Conchords, has been very much well deserved in recent years.
