Zach Galifianakis Interviews President Obama on Between Two Ferns

Once President Obama leaves office, he might want to consider a career in comedy. The commander-in-chief stopped by Zach Galifianakis' Funny or Die show Between Two Ferns this week to plug the Affordable Care Act — but he had to endure Galifianakis' typically awkward line of questioning as well.

Once President Obama leaves office, he might want to consider a career in comedy.

The commander-in-chief stopped by Zach Galifianakis' Funny or Die show Between Two Ferns this week to plug the Affordable Care Act — but he had to endure Galifianakis' typically awkward line of questioning as well.

Galifianakis began the interview by apologizing for having to cancel on the president "a few times"before later asking Obama which country he was rooting for in the Winter Olympics and whether he planned to build his presidential library in Hawaii or "your home country of Kenya."

The insults weren't entirely one-sided, however. When asked whether he was disappointed at not being able to run for a third presidential term, the president responded: "Actually, I think it's a good idea. If I ran a third time it would be sort of like doing a third Hangover movie. It didn't really work out very well, did it?"

While discussing the website healthcare.gov, Galifianakis showed Obama a series of spider bites on his arm and asked if that qualified as a pre-existing condition for health insurance.

"You need to get that checked right away," Obama deadpanned. "That's one of the most disgusting things I've ever seen."
