The interview moved on to share background on the new HBO series, The Brink.  Jack Black says:

It's all about being on the brink of the third world war in the Middle East, where there is all kind of political turmoil.  I know that sounds like a drama, like Homeland or something.  It's not, it's a total comedy.  Your like, how can you be talking about World War III, and also be making me laugh?  I don't know, it's like a magic trick.
