Barack Obama hams it up with Zach Galifianakis on Between Two Ferns

“Community organizer” Barack Obama appeared on Zach Galifianakis’ deadpan web series Between Two Ferns on Tuesday. The pair traded insults during the six and a half minute interview as Galifianakis asked Obama about being “the last black president”, his birth certificate and Dennis Rodman’s trips to North Korea.

“I read somewhere you would be sending Hulk Hogan to Syria – or is that more of a job for Tonya Harding?” said Galifinakis.

Obama said he was on the show, which was recorded two weeks ago, to promote healthcare.gov ahead of the 2014 insurance enrollment deadline on 31 March.
