Halfway through the interview, Clinton said, "I really regret doing this." The "Hangover" star asked Clinton questions like "As Secretary, how many words per minute could you type? And how does President Obama like his coffee? Like himself? Weak?"

Among other things, Galifianakis suggested that Clinton, a former secretary of state, had fetched coffee for President Obama. “As secretary, how many words per minute could you type? And how does President Obama like his coffee? Like himself, weak?” he asked on his show, which is meant to mock celebrity interviews and is published by the comedy website Funny or Die.

It has been revealed that, in the forthcoming episode Homefront, the first lady will host NCIS special agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs at the White House for a discussion about her military charity, Joining Forces.That’s it. What a wasted opportunity. Not that we shouldn’t have seen it coming, of course – over the past couple of years, the Obamas have embarked on a highly targeted media assault in a bid to reach audiences that might not otherwise be engaged by traditional political discussion. That’s why...

The Obama administration should act right away to use its executive powers to take steps to deal with long-ignored issues that need to be dealt with for the good of the nation. This cannot be done quietly. To change the media narrative, issues acted upon will have to be controversial enough to dominate the news. President Obama should embrace good...

Obama’s satirical interview with comedian Zach Galifianakis on the web series “Between Two Ferns” was nominated Thursday for an Emmy Award in the Outstanding Short-Format Live-Action Entertainment category.

The interview immediately became contentious when Galifianakis launched into a series of critiques of Obama’s presidency to which the president was unable to respond… because they were asinine. “When I heard that people actually watch this show, I was actually pretty surprised,” the president began. “In 2013, you pardoned a turkey,” Galifianakis noted. “What do you have planned for 2014?” “We’ll probably pardon another turkey,” Obama replied. The interview became tense when Galifianakis probed Obama over what he appeared to...

Galifianakis uses his satirical forum to interview and skewer celebrities - and presidents - in cringe-worthy ways. Obama, his job is marked as "community organizer," was treated no differently, taking a series of jabs over the Obamacare rollout and other similar topics in deadpan.
