Between Two Ferns, the dadaist faux-cable-news show hosted by Zach Galifianakis for Funny or Die, usually manages to unnerve even the most stoic interviewees. On the latest installment, Galifianakis, always ready with the hard-hitting questions, made Hillary Clinton his newest target, quizzing her on the real issues of this election: Has she considered being more racist? Who makes her pantsuits? And what happens if she becomes pregnant while in office?

For the most part, Clinton takes even the most ridiculous the questions in stride, which is probably good practice for next week’s debate with Trump. Still, the segment makes it hard to forget just how cool under pressure Obama was on Between Two Ferns a couple of years ago.
