"Pals with POTUS! Days after President Barack Obama&amp;apos;s hilarious interview with Zach Galifianakis went viral, the Commander in Chief called into Ryan Seacrest&amp;apos;s radio show on Friday, March 14 to discuss what really went down on Between Two Ferns.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;Zach actually was pretty nervous,&amp;quot; Obama, 52, said with a chuckle. &amp;quot;It was funny to watch because this whole Between Two Ferns schtick -- which I wasn&amp;apos;t familiar with, before my staff told me that we had been pitched to do this.&amp;quot;\r\n&amp;quot;His whole character is to go after the guest and I think he was looking around and seeing all these Secret Service guys with guns and thinking, &amp;apos;I wonder what happens here if I cross the line?&amp;apos;&amp;quot; Obama recalled of the Funny or Die host. &amp;quot;But we had a great time.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nDuring the course of the interview, Galifianakis rattled off a series of asinine, offensive Obama-related questions, which the president countered with equally-funny retorts. Among Galifianakis&amp;apos; most-quoted moments from the sit-down: &amp;quot;What is it like to  be the last black President?&amp;quot; he asked the leader of the free world, along with &amp;quot;What if [your figurative son] was a nerd, like you?&amp;quot;\r\nAlthough POTUS appeared not-so-amused by Galifianakis at times, he learned later that his oldest daughter Malia, 15, was a fan of the parody show. &amp;quot;I wasn&amp;apos;t familiar with this thing, but when I was at the dinner table with the girls and I said, &amp;apos;Well today I did something with Zach, it&amp;apos;s called Two Ferns I think?&amp;apos; Malia was so excited!&amp;quot; Obama dished. &amp;quot;She had seen all the previous episodes, so I figured it was going to reach our target audience, which is a lot of young people and it turns out we&amp;apos;ve had close to 15 million hits.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nIndeed, the top referral site for President Obama&amp;apos;s Affordable Care Act website, healthcare.gov, since the spoof interview went live has been funnyordie.com. &amp;quot;Afterwards people actually did link to healthcare.gov and people actually signed up for health insurance, so it ended up working,&amp;quot; he enthusiastically shared. &amp;quot;But I think I have to keep my day job.&amp;quot;\r\nThe deadline to sign up for ObamaCare is March 31. What happens if you miss that date? &amp;quot;They you will not be able to sign up again until November,&amp;quot; Obama shared with Seacrest."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
