President Obama on Zach Galifianakis’ “Between Two Ferns”

TV
Going on a TV talk show is one thing. Going on a weirdly awkward comedy web show, acting like government policy is just some new movie you’re plugging? Exceedingly strange. But it came out pretty funny.
Best presidential line: “If I ran a third time, it’d be sorta like doing a third Hangover movie. It didn’t really work out very well, did it?”
Galifianakis gets a pretty good gag/punchline at the very end, too.

As editor of The Robot's Voice since 2012, he can take the blame for the majority of the site's content, all of which he creates because he loves you very, very much. (Although he loves nachos more. Sorry.)
