Zach Galifianakis & Stephen Colbert Fight Over Barbecue Sauce?!

Zach Galifianakis made an appearance on The Late Show on Monday (April 8) and got into a heated discussion about barbecue sauce from his native North Carolina and South Carolina, which is Stephen Colbert‘s native.

“I’m more proud of being from North Carolina than you should be from being from South Carolina,” the 49-year-old actor expressed, after which Colbert unleashed some fighting words of his own. “I love everything about North Carolina other than that damn vinegar stuff that y’all put on the barbecue.”

“You’ve got perfectly fine dry-rub smoked barbecue, and then you come in there and just piss all over it with vinegar. What are you doing?!,” Stephen continued.

After briefly discussing their states’ respective vinegar-and mustard-based sauces, Zach calls for peace. “We can be different, Stephen,” he says. “We don’t have to build a wall between us.”

Zach also talked about his new animated film Missing Link, which hits theaters on April 12.
