Galifianakis’ popular online program generated more than 35 million views when President Barack Obama appeared on it in 2014 while he was encouraging young people to sign up for the Affordable Care Act.

Presidential candidates and Donald Trump have made several appearances on TV talk shows, most recently on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon”.

Galifianakis: No, you’re suppose to say, “Yeah, you know me”.
After the former secretary of state said she was a big fan of President Obama’s 2014 appearance on Between Two Ferns, her campaign reached out to amusing or Die, and the rest is Web series history.

Galifianakis asks, “When you see how well it works for Donald Trump, do you ever think to yourself, ‘Oh, maybe I should be more racist?'”
Clinton: Don’t tell me what to say.
“Not a smart move”, Clinton said.
The former Secretary of State said she would not be fleeing to the country’s northern neighbor. Galifianakis ends with a zinger: “We should stay in touch”. “Very cool. Cool, cool, cool”.
