Hillary Clinton rolled with Zach Galifianakis’s punches on ‘Between Two Ferns’
“Well this has been a lot of fun, Mrs. Clinton; we should stay in touch. What’s the best way to reach you? Email?”
Hillary Clinton has been criticized in the past for being inaccessible to the press. But ahead of Monday’s debate, Clinton sat down with one of the most adversarial interviewers in the business: Zach Galifianakis.Clinton appeared on an episode of the comedian’s online talk show, Between Two Ferns, and comedy website Funny or Die posted the episode on its website Thursday morning.“Critics have often questioned your decision-making,” Galifianakis said. “And by you doing this show, I hope it finally lays that to rest.”
“Oh, I think it absolutely proves their case,” Clinton replied.Judging by the chyron Galifianakis gave Clinton, she may have had a point.
Hillary Clinton on ‘Between Two Ferns.’
Among the ridiculous questions Galifianakis lobbed at Clinton during the hilarious five-minute interview:
— “As Secretary, how many words per minute could you type? And how does President Obama like his coffee? Like himself? Weak?”
— “What happens if you become pregnant? Are we gonna be stuck with Tim Kaine for nine months?”
— “First you supported Obama’s Trans-Pacific Partnership deal, and then you were against it. I think the people deserve to know: Are you down with TPP?”
— “When you see how well it works for Donald Trump, do you ever think to yourself, ‘Oh, maybe I should be more racist’?”
Clinton kept up with Galifianakis’s jokes for the most part, even landing a few shots at Trump in the process. After grilling her on who makes her pantsuits, Galifianakis asked Clinton what she thought Trump might wear to Monday’s debate.
“I assume he’ll be wearing that red power tie,” Clinton said.
“Or a white power tie,” Galifianakis interjected.
“That would be even more appropriate,” Clinton responded.
