Hillary Clinton is not as cool or as amusing as Barack Obama or Donald Trump, and her hilarious appearance on “Between Two Ferns” was painful to watch.

Clinton comes off well in the clip as she mainly does deadpan reactions and stares Zach down as he asks her things like if she is excited to be the first “girl president”, and what her typing and coffee skills were like as Secretary of State.
The one-on-one interview series, which has played host to such names as Justin Bieber, Natalie Portman, Charlize Theron and President Barack Obama, hadn’t had a new episode since October 2014.
In an interview with Vulture, Between Two Ferns creator Scott Aukerman revealed that Clinton didn’t know what the questions would be beforehand.
“What happens if you become president?” The latest interview comes as Clinton has been courting young voters in her campaign against Trump. Are we going to be stuck with Tim Kaine for nine months? How many words per minute could she type?
With the November 8 election around the corner and the race with Mr Trump tightening, Mrs Clinton’s appearance on the show came ahead of the first presidential debate on Monday.
“I assume he will wear that red power tie”, Clinton said.
Galifianakis: No, you’re suppose to say, “Yeah, you know me”.
Galifianakis: Or maybe like a white power tie.
With a smirk, Clinton replied, “That’s even more appropriate”.
The actor said he wanted to meet the person who makes Clinton’s pant suits because he wants to go as a “librarian from outer space” for Halloween. We should stay in touch.
“Being president would be such an extraordinary honor and responsibility”, she said, “but being the first woman elected president, and what that would mean for our country, and particularly what that would mean for not just little girls, but for little boys, too, that’s pretty special”.

However, the best moment of the show was when Zach Galifianakis asked Mrs. Clinton about the best way of reaching out to her. “Email?”.
