Galifianakis, star of "The Hangover" films, is known for his
cringe-inducing banter on the web program, asking subjects
awkward questions. Past interview subjects include Brad Pitt,
Charlize Theron, Bradley Cooper and President Barack Obama.
Sitting between two fern plants on a sparse set, Galifianakis
did not dial back his trademark style of appearing uninterested
and unprepared as he interviewed Clinton, riffing on her
previous role as U.S. secretary of state in Obama's first term.
"As secretary, how many words per minute could you type? And how
does President Obama like his coffee? Like himself - weak?"
Galifianakis said.
"You know Zach, those are really out-of-date questions. You need
to get out more," Clinton responded.
Other topics brought up included the comedian's interest in the
designer of Clinton's signature pantsuits and whether her
daughter, Chelsea Clinton, discussed romantic crushes with
Ivanka Trump, daughter of Clinton's Republican opponent, Donald
Trump, in the Nov. 8 election.
In closing, Galifianakis made a wry reference to Clinton's use
of a private email server during her tenure as America's top
diplomat, which was investigated by the FBI.
"This has been a lot of fun, Mrs. Clinton. We should stay in
touch. What's the best way to reach you? E-mail?"
As a poker-faced Clinton looked on, Galifianakis hit a button to
play AOL's famous email alert: "You've got mail."
