Although they had pursued individual endeavors, McKenzie and Clement recognized that the time had come for them to come together again as Flight of the Conchords. The duo decided to reunite for a live tour, aptly named "Flight of the Conchords Sing Flight of the Conchords." This highly anticipated tour will take them across the United States and the United Kingdom.
In the interview, McKenzie and Clement also discussed their experience of performing as a duo again. They mentioned that their reunion was more joyous than ever before, as they were able to bring new material and ideas to their performances. They reassured their fans that they had not lost their comedic touch, promising a highly entertaining and laughter-filled experience during their upcoming shows.

The news of their reunion tour has been met with great excitement and anticipation, as fans eagerly await the opportunity to see their favorite duo in action once again.
In conclusion, Flight of the Conchords' absence from the comedy scene can be attributed to their need for a break following their successful HBO series.
