In a recent interview at the season four premiere of Hulu series, "Only Murders In the Building," Zach Galifianakis, known for his role in "The Hangover" series, offered some advice to the Democratic Party. His recommendation? Scale back on the reliance on celebrity endorsements, as it may not effectively attract the rural voters crucial for the upcoming election.

Expressing his thoughts to Variety, Galifianakis emphasized the need for the Democratic National Convention (DNC) to reassess its strategy of relying heavily on Hollywood celebrities. He suggested that while celebrities can make an impact to a certain extent, winning over rural America requires a different approach.

Galifianakis, hailing from a small town in North Carolina, acknowledged that actors and entertainers are citizens too, but he felt more aligned with the perspective of rural communities rather than the Hollywood elite. "Hollywood thinks it's so important, and that's a problem," said Galifianakis. "They have to win over rural America."

The recently concluded DNC prominently featured a host of Hollywood stars, including Eva Longoria, Kerry Washington, Ben Stiller, and Mindy Kaling, who gave speeches and showed their support for the Democratic Party. Additionally, renowned musicians such as John Legend, Stevie Wonder, and The Chicks performed at the convention. While these appearances may resonate with certain audiences, Galifianakis argued that it could be seen as excessive.

Contrasting Galifianakis' viewpoint, his co-star Kumail Nanjiani, known for his role in Marvel's "The Eternals," shared his enthusiasm for the Democratic presidential campaign. Nanjiani revealed his involvement in efforts to register voters and expressed his optimism about the current state of affairs. Despite feeling more hopeful, he acknowledged that there is still plenty of work to be done.

The Variety interview also featured comedy legend Steve Martin, who admitted feeling anxious about watching the DNC and emphasized his desire for the party to avoid any missteps. Meanwhile, Selena Gomez and Martin Short, also starring in "Only Murders In the Building," confessed that they would have preferred to skip their premiere and watch the DNC from the comfort of their homes.

As the Democratic Party seeks to broaden its appeal and secure victory in the upcoming election, Galifianakis' advice serves as a reminder to reevaluate the effectiveness of celebrity endorsements, particularly in relation to rural voters. With varying perspectives within the entertainment industry, it remains to be seen how the party will strike a balance between high-profile support and grassroots appeal.
