Danny McBride's star-making appearance

i've been really big on this guy for nearly a year now, and it seems that he's finally about to break out to the mainstream. In the clip above from last night's Late Night With Conan O'Brien he appeared in character as Fred Simmons, the character he portrays in his movie The Foot Fist Way. The whole thing is amazing on a nearly Andy Kaufman level. Will Ferrell, who is on the couch and is berated by Fred Simmons, is actually one of the people who bought The Foot Fist Way from Sundance 2007. That and Danny will be co-starring with Ferrell in the upcoming 2009 remake of Land Of The Lost. So, he is definitely in on the joke.

The Foot Fist Way goes into limited release starting April 11th. If the buzz continues to grow for him like it is now, it should expand very quickly.
