Jeremy Irons Talks to Farrelly Brothers on 'Late Night'The first cut of the film that made Peter and Bobby Farrelly famous, 'Dumb and Dumber,' was three and a half hours long, they shared on 'Late Night' (weeknights, 12:37AM ET on NBC). The brothers screened it for their friends, and one called it "the all-time worst movie." Ouch.

A lot has changed for the screenwriting and directing duo since 1994. The Farrellys have gone on to helm more than 10 comedies, and even directed host Jimmy Fallon in 'Fever Pitch.'

"I think your films are wonderful," said fellow 'Late Night' guest Jeremy Irons. Bobby Farrelly asked, "Are you outta work?" Irons replied, "They never come to me for comedy. I don't know why." Fallon loved the idea: "Let's have Jeremy Irons be in a comedy! C'mon, let's make this happen!" So, how 'bout it?
