President Obama had his best debate ever on Zach Galifianakis' Between Two Ferns
Instantly vaulting the show to the level of such political arenas as Meet The Press and Rowan And Martin’s Laugh-In, President Barack Obama appeared on Zach Galifianakis’ Between Two Ferns. (Though, as his detractors will no doubt point out, Obama clearly hewed to the far left fern.) The official reason was to plug HealthCare.gov to the kids, but that was just an excuse for a typically faux-contentious debate between host and president, with each side getting in a few good digs. “How does it feel to be the last black president?” Galifianakis asks. “If I ran a third time, it’d sort of be like doing a third Hangover movie. Didn’t really work out very well, did it?” Obama counters. And so on, with the sort of sick-burn repartee that Frost only wished he could have had with Nixon.
