Ben Stiller’s all-star comedy panel with Mike Myers, Seth Meyers, Michael Ian Black

Comic Michael Ian Black made a joke at Ben Stiller’s expense at Stiller’s annual All-Star Comedy Roundtable at the Nantucket Film Festival on Sunday — and his mike suddenly went dead. A Nantucket spy said Black observed that panelists Stiller, Seth Meyers and Mike Myers were all on “SNL,” but Stiller’s stint on the NBC show was less successful. Black’s mike suddenly died, and Meyers quipped: “Notice how the mike went out right when you made a joke about [Stiller]?” When a technician had to kneel in front of Black to fix the mike, Stiller cracked to him, “I thought you said you were going to play the straight guy.” The panel, to benefit the fest’s Teen View program, will air on Epix.
