President Barack Obama who is known for his off-beat ways to promote something he believes in, did the same recently when he appeared on the web-based talk show “Between Two Ferns”. The show is hosted by Zach Galifianakis, the comedian-actor best known for his role in the Hangover movie series. The funny or die video is quite hilarious as Obama answered the ridiculous questions posed by Zach in a calm and composed manner and at times even got the better of him.
The interview which lasted only about six minutes, was conducted solely because Obama wanted the young people in his country to enroll with Obamacare- one of his pet projects through Healthcare.gov. President Obama cracked quite a few jokes on the show and gave Zach a run for his money when it came to being witty.
Zach went speechless when president said that running for a third term would be just like producing a third Hangover film which turned out to be a dud. While Obama wanted to talk about Obamacare, Zach kept on asking about other irrelevant topics.
President’s senior adviser Dan Pfeiffer admitted that it was a little tricky for Obama to handle Zach who has quite a reputation of doing weird things on his show, like spanking Justin Beiber.
Obama told the viewers of the show how important it is to sign up with Obamacare and urged them to do it as soon as possible as the deadline for signing up is 31 March. The efforts have started yielding results a lot of people have shown their interest in the project. However, the government wants to do more and this appearance of the president on the show was just one of the many steps taken by the government in this direction.
