VIDEO-Hillary Clinton Stops By Between Two Ferns, Takes on Trump | WIRED

“Are you excited to be the first girl president?” That’s just one of many pointed (and pointedly stupid) questions posed by Zach Galifianakis to Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton on a just-released installment of Funny or Die’s Between TwoFerns. (Other queries include “Are you down with TPP?” and “Any regrets about losing the Scott Baio vote?”) Clinton isn’t the first politician to stop by the satirical talk-show—President Obama’s 2014 appearance helped raise awareness of the Affordable Care Act—but she’s certainly the first presidential nominee to endure a sit-down with ace-doofus host Galifianakis, who subjects her to awkward exchanges about pantsuits, her plans to take everyone’s guns away, and Donald Trump’s “white power tie.”

Clinton’s faux-frustration expressions are well-played here: When Galifianakis asks whether it’s a good idea to reach her via email, she glares at him with a look of mock disdain that could melt a BlackBerry. “I really regret doing this,” Clinton says at one point. We’re pretty sure(?) she’s kidding.
