Adam McKay<\/a> is the director of the new comedy\u00a0Step Brothers<\/a>, which stars\u00a0Will Ferrell and John C Reilly<\/a>as two siblings who have been living at home too long.<\/p>\n

He has had a long career writing and directing comedy, most notably at Saturday Night Live<\/a> where he made his mark alongside Will Ferrell<\/a>, with whom he went to team up with on the films Anchorman<\/a> (2004), Talladega Nights<\/a> (2006) and now Step Brothers<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I spoke with Adam recently about the film, his time at SNL, FunnyOrDie.com<\/a> (the website he started with Will which spawned hit viral videos like The Landlord<\/a> and Paris Hilton’s 2008 Campaign Video<\/a>), the struggle to get Anchorman made (and the possibility of a sequel), how marketing affects what scripts get green-lit and how he works with his co-writer and star.<\/p>\n
