Hillary Clinton Sits for an Awkward 'Between Two Ferns' Interview

Clinton tries to court millennial voters by sitting down with Zach Galifianakis.

Within the first 20 seconds of his interview with Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, Zach Galifianakis learned the power of the Secret Service. The Funny or Die host entered wearing a grim reaper mask and was quickly tackled by two agents. He explained he was "just trying to scare" Clinton, prompting the former secretary of State to tell him it was "not a good idea around the Secret Service." 

Clinton -- whose on-screen description simply read "Had pneumonia" -- seemed up for Galifianakis' humor, telling him that he needs to "get out more" and that a pantsuit "would be a good look on you." But her deadpan stare during the show's awkward moments was the highlight of her performance. She perhaps used it best when Galifianakis ended the video by asking, "What's the best way to stay in touch? Email?" and playing an old AOL sound effect.

Maybe he was just trying to scare her.
