Zach Galifianakis is slamming celeb-obsessed culture as a “mental illness,” saying it’s the reason the country “ended up” with former President Trump.

“Celebrity in general should be mocked,” the “Hangover” star said on Conan O’Brien’s podcast “Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend,” released this week.

“It’s all ridiculous,” Galifianakis said. “It’s how we ended up with a celebrity president,” he continued. Trump famously hosted “Celebrity Apprentice” before his 2016 White House bid.
