Zach Galifianakis’ online comedy Between Two Ferns snagged a pretty high-profile guest: US presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.

Of course, she isn’t the first huge political get for amusing or Die, with Barack Obama appearing with Zach in an episode while he was President.
As Clinton waited for Galifianakis to make his appearance for the interview, Galifianakis slowly crept up behind the democratic presidential candidate sporting a grim reaper costume in hopes of scaring her.
“Oh right”, notes Galifianakis, “because you were saying before we were rolling that you wanted to take away everyone’s guns”.
“Not a one”, Clinton replied. “Are we gonna be stuck with Tim Kaine for nine-months?” “How does this work?”
“I could send you some pamphlets that might help you understand”, she offered. Clinton just shakes her head and laughs.
“Or maybe like a white power tie?” “Those are really. out-of-date questions”, she dispassionately responds to her interviewer’s inquiries about her words-per-minute typing skills, and President Obama’s coffee order.
After almost two years of inactivity, “Between Two Fans” was resurrected earlier today as Galifianakis interviewed the Democratic candidate for the presidency, Hillary Clinton.
Clinton perks up when the host says it’s time to talk about Trump, but quickly realizes that part of the interview isn’t going to be any easier.
Surprisingly, it takes Clinton a little over two minutes of being badgered by the show’s host, comedian and actor Zach Galifianakis, to announce that she “really regrets doing this”. Her title card read “Hillary Clinton: Had Pneumonia”; he also compared her pantsuit look to a librarian from outer space.
Making matters worse, he even played a Trump campaign ad.
Clinton said: “I assume he’ll wear that red power tie”.

“It was actually her idea, strangely enough”, comedian Scott Aukerman, who also directs the web series, told Politico. “What’s the best way to do it?” he asked her. “Email?”. “What’s the best way to reach you, email?”.
