David Cross' No-Pants Kimmel Interview: Africa, 'Chipwrecked' & Brooklyn's Fulton Mall (VIDEO)

We're not sure if it was his anecdotes on Africa, his description of Brooklyn's Fulton Mall or the fact that he wasn't wearing any pants, but David Cross did one of his most entertaining late night interviews Friday night on "Jimmy Kimmel Live."

Right off the bat, Kimmel cracked up after asking "who" Cross was wearing when he walked out on stage in what appeared to be a large red sweatshirt with nothing on underneath (then again, he could have been wearing cut-offs). Admitting that the outfit came from downtown Brooklyn's eccentric outdoor mall, Cross went on to describe the other fabulous items he saw for sale there -- and you don't have to be from NYC to think they're hilarious.

After struggling to remember exactly where he recently went on a trip with fiance Amber Tamblyn, in part two below Cross describes going to Africa on safari with the world's biggest Phil Collins fan. Interestingly enough, even in remote villages in Zimbabwe, Cross claims that people recognize him from the "Alvin And The Chipmunks" movie "Chipwrecked."

"You don't know the power Fox has," Cross quipped.

On modern TV, once serious actors like Alex Baldwin, William Shafter, Charlie Sheen, etc… are posing as comedians, celebrities taking off their pants or passing gas for a laugh, reporters only reading prepared scripts and calling it news. Television has digressed to the point that children should take on most of the childish roles played by adults and a one-dimensional, computer generated voice, could read the news just as well as a one-dimensional inanimate human.

David Cross is not funny at all. He's annoying, irritating, uncomfortable. This is the sort of "comedy" that you can only endure for a minute or two. I have tried repeatedly to watch him, because i really wanted to like his comedy. But he has always left me with the same feeling - what is funny about someone who is contrived, irritating and obnoxious. Comedy is supposed to make you feel good, not uncomfortable or bothered. I don't know how else to describe it, he just never leaves me with a smile. I am not trying to condemn him, I am just offering my honest reaction. Why do so many of today's comics rely so heavily on this psychological dark side. Do you ever wonder why they call it comedy when so often it doesn't make you laugh? Steve Carrell is in the same boat, in my opinion. Can't watch the Office, though the British version is hilarious.

He flew too close to the sun by going pants-less on television. Everyone knows that the pants-less zone ends at the front door.

At least going pants-less on stage worked out better for him than for Jim Morrison.

I LOVE that the person who said Zimbabwe got praise when it's the only other country in Africa that starts with the letter Z. It's sad that Americans always feel so inclined to govern all the other countries in the world WHEN THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT OR WHERE THEY ARE!

The right thing to do would be to improve the education system but that wouldn't be hateful, right?

I read some of your comments on other posts, you're quite disgusting. Typical of a Republican. Another thing that would be typical of a Republican is hypocrisy. You, YOURSELF, mocked the education system in one of your comments. Or was that OK because it was 'liberal education?' Whatever that means.

I look forward to Ron Paul pointing out that a Mitt / Obama vote is an implicit vote for war with Iran.
