Comedy Talk: David Schwimmer and Thandie Newton Dish on ‘The View’

Remember David Schwimmer from NBC’s phenomenally popular sitcom Friends? Well, the former Dr. Ross Geller has been focusing more on directing than acting these days, and he has a new movie that I must see premiering this Friday, March 28.

The name of the British — yes, British — comedy production is Run Fatboy Run, and it has an outstanding cast helmed by hilarious Simon Pegg (Hot Fuzz, Mission Impossible III, Shaun of the Dead, the forthcoming Star Trek flick) and drop-dead gorgeous Thandie Newton (ER, Crash, Mission Impossible II).

Newton recently accompanied Schwimmer on one of the most enjoyable interview segments I’ve seen on The View, which isn’t really saying much since I’m not a daytime talk show fan in the least. All the same, I have a clip of the appearance after the jump that I encourage comedy fans to check out.

Who knew Newton was such a prankster? Who even knew she talks so much? Make sure to listen to the very end to see what I mean, and you’ll probably be surprised to find out what the actress did to her poor co-star Pegg. It’s too much.

I can’t wait until Pegg starts making the interview rounds stateside, too, because he’s a true natural when it comes to the funny stuff. I’ll make sure to post available clips of him here, as well.
