Adam McKay is the bee's knees. You know it, I know it, your neighbor's dog knows it. He's funny and awesome, and that's that. Anyway, he did an interview with Starpulse and the first half is up today. Here's a little bit where he talks about the origin of Funny or Die:

We, Will Ferrell and I, were approached by Sequoia, which is a big
financing firm up in Palo Alto; they do a lot of internet stuff and
they came to us and said they had an idea for a comedy site, and Will
and I were sorta like," Yeah, we don't know. It's the Internet, we've
seen it come and go." But the more we started talking about it the more
we started thinking, "Well, wait a minute, this could be really fun."
We loved working on SNL and we still have all of these ideas that fit
the format. We liked the idea of just doing comedy for comedy's sake
and having a place for our friends to do it too. We went into it with a
clubhouse mentality and that was basically it. We also talked about the
fact that we had just started our production company, Gary Sanchez
Productions, and that it would be a great opportunity to see new
directors, actors, and writers.
