Paul Rudd, Jason Segel, Seth Rogen, And Jonah Hill Are "The New Comedy Legends"

Vanity Fair's next issue is about comedy, so "the new comedy legends" Paul Rudd, Jason Segel, Seth Rogen, and Jonah Hill are on the cover (so many of my boyfriends!). Yeah, Vanity Fair is, as usual, really behind on the "new" and kind of unimaginative on the "legends", but I'll forgive them, since they put up this behind-the-scenes video of the photo shoot:

Okay, so if you lasted, you're a SuperFan (VF has some kinks to work out with these photographer-centric time-lapse "videos"), but it's funny when they ask Seth Rogen how he first realized he was funny and he said "Well I realized I wasn't sexy." (I wonder if 80% of this Vanity Fair comedian feature will be about Seth's recent weight loss?)

Paul Rudd + Young Frankenstein = Just the smile I needed today. Maybe I'll continue the smile streak by sending some cat ecards to my memaw.

Am i the only one who disagrees with their choice of Jonah Hill? Michael Cera is much funnier (Arrested Development MC, not Nick & Nora MC) than him.

I wish they hadn't wasted their time interviewing the photographers.

Also, Will Arnet, Jason Bateman, Bill Hader, and Amy Poehler are in this spread as well and I wish they'd talked to them. Mainly Bill. Bill is BEYOND legend.

Guess I'm 1/2 or 3/4 of a superfan. I stopped when it came to Jonah Hill. Dude is annoying as opposed to funny. Can we stop hiring him please?
