"Bruce, you can't smoke in here." And so it begins -- Zach Galifianakis' absurdist online talk show 'Between Two Ferns' tackles Bruce Willis this time, and the interview is as uncomfortable and raucous as always. "How many children do you have?" the 'Bored to Death' and 'The Hangover' star asks Willis. "Three? Which is your favorite, Ashton? Do you get his tweets?" The bearded comedian pokes ...
