Video Of The Week 6/6/14

This week I'm sharing the Between Two Ferns with Zach Galifianakis: President Barack Obama video with you.  I love the Between Two Ferns show anyway but I think this episode was really cool just because Obama actually did it and did it like a real Between Two Ferns show.  I think that the President going on Between Two Ferns with Zach Galifianakis to promote his healthcare.gov site and healthcare reform laws showed that he really believes in this plan for our nations healthcare a whole lot. And it showed that he is just really, really cool.

Zach Galifianakis Tribute

You know you have a drinking problem when the bartender knows your name -- and you've never been to that bar before. -- Zach Galifianakis 10/1/69 - Present

     I first became aware of Zach Galifianakis' stand-up from his appearance in the stand-up documentary 'The Comedians Of Comedy'.  But I had already met Zach Galifianakis the actor long before that.  So, I was his fan long before I even knew his name or knew about his Stand-up.  Once I saw him do stand-up though, I learned his name, and became a huge fan of his instantly.
     Zach's stand-up is amazing for lack of a better word.  His stage presence, delivery and timing are all enviable to me as a comic.  I'd give anything to work a stage like Zach does.  He is just completely FEARLESS in his humor and presentation and almost just seems to be in a comedy trance at times.  He always makes being hilarious look so damn easy.  I was instantly jealous watching him and also a huge fan.
     I began to seek out his comedy to study and watch it all and I was never disappointed.  Most of you probably already know him from The Hangover movies, but Zach Galifianakis truly shines on a comedy stage.  I've included a short clip below from one of his comedy specials as an example of his comic genius.  Enjoy,
