The president’s satirical interview with comedian Zach Galifianakis on his Web series “Between Two Ferns,” widely credited with boosting enrollment in his signature healthcare law, has been nominated for an Emmy Award.
The Funny or Die video clip was nominated Thursday in the Outstanding Short-Format Live-Action Entertainment Program category, facing off against other contenders including the Super Bowl halftime show and Cartoon Network’s “Childrens Hospital” television series.
The other two nominees in the category also have ties to the president: “The Soup,” hosted by Joel McHale, who served as this year’s White House Correspondents’ Association dinner emcee, and “Parks and Recreation,” an NBC series that has featured guest appearances by Vice President Biden and first lady Michelle Obama.
I hate to be a stickler here, but that stupid nonsense with that drug addict and Zak Garafadghjrueh was an INTERNET presentation. The Emmy's are for TELEVISION programming.
