Hillary Clinton Gets Grilled by Zach Galifianakis on Between Two Ferns
For those who felt Matt Lauer asked Hillary Clinton all the wrong questions during NBC’s “Commander-in-Chief Forum” earlier this month – Zach Galifianakis has got your back.
The host of Between Two Ferns didn’t hold back when Clinton appeared on his Web series, asking the hard-hitting questions that are really on voters’ minds. Like: “What happens if you become pregnant?” “Any regrets over losing the Scott Baio vote?” and “As secretary, how many words per minute could you type?”
Galifianakis even asked tough follow-up questions, such as: “How does President Obama like his coffee? Like himself? Weak?”

While sitting in the hot seat with Galifianakis, Clinton deadpans that she’s having second thoughts about her decision to appear on the Web series. A source close to the situation tells PEOPLE the sitdown was Clinton’s idea. 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 Funny or Die, and the rest is Web series history.

In the clip, you’ll notice the show uses a chyrons to identify Clinton as someone who “had pneumonia.” The Democratic nominee filmed the appearance at New York Historical Society on Sept. 9 – the same day she was diagnosed with pneumonia.
Says a campaign official: “That’s Hillary powering through.”
