Comedian Zach Galifianakis welcomed President Obama for a roast on his irreverent Funny or Die show 'Between Two Ferns,' as the President tries to reach a younger audience for Obamacare.

Galifianakis veered into taboo topics like Obama's lame duck presidency, the birther conspiracy, and his nerdlike demeanor.

'Is it going to be hard in two years, when you're no longer President and people will stop letting you win at basketball?' he asked, also wondering aloud if Obama would establish his presidential library in his home country of Kenya.

'So how does this work, do you send Ambassador Rodman to North Korea on your behalf? I read somewhere that you'd be sending Hulk Hogan to Syria or is that more of a job for Tanya Harding?'

But Obama took shots of his own at the actor, praising his 'rival' Bradley Cooper and saying a third term would 'sort of be like doing a third 'Hangover' movie, it didn't really work out very well did it?'

Three minutes into the awkward banter, the President turned the conversation to Obamacare.

'I wouldn't be with you here today unless if I didn't have something to plug, have you heard of the Affordable Care Act?' Obama asked.

'That's the thing that doesn't work?' the actor quipped.

Galifianakis interviewed Obama in front of a black screen, between the shrubbery, but at the end the curtain fell down to reveal that the pair were actually seated in the White House Diplomatic Room.
