He was also promoting his new movie about the American Basketball Association, "Semi-Pro." After taking a brief tour of Manhattan's highpoints (ie, the bars), Eric journeyed to a sold-out Bramlage Coliseum where Will fucking Ferrell performed with Zach Galifianakas, Demetri Martin, and Nick Swardson.
