Funny or Die, Vice HBO news show, gun emoji
Comedy website Funny or Die is cutting more than 35 people, about 30 percent of its staff, and closing its San Mateo office, the Hollywood Reporter says.
The site was founded by Will Ferrell and Adam McKay and is famous for sketches and the talk show spoof “Between Two Ferns” with Zach Galifianakis.
The company, which started as a free punk magazine in Montreal in 1994, introduced its own cable channel, called Viceland, this year and produces a weekly news magazine show for HBO, called “Vice,” which began in 2013.
