Late World with Zach Galifianakis - Zach does standup at a preschool

Zach G., before he was famous. (It’s certainly a testament to the man’s considerable talent and popularity that hosting his own late-night comedy show on Vh1 counts as “before he was famous.”)

What I really love about this clip is he doesn’t just do the easy bit of telling a bunch of adult jokes that fly over the kid audience’s heads— of course he does do that a little (how could you resist?) but the majority of this segment is a lesson in knowing your audience and playing to that crowd.

I’ve probably watched this 20 or 30 times over the years, including its original airing. Anyhow, each and every time I watch it, I always think, “You know what? He’s right. Preschool IS nuts.”
