Clinton's on 'Between Two Ferns' Breaks Records". viewed more than 30 million times first 24 hours [View all]




Hillary Clinton's appearance on Between Two Ferns With Zach Galifianakis is a bona fide hit.

The video, in which Clinton withstands a series of awkward and often insulting questions from Galifianakis' wacky talk show host, broke Funny or Die records after it appeared online on Sept. 22. The video was viewed more than 30 million times in its first 24 hours, the highest first-day viewership in Funny or Die history.

It had been nearly two years since the last episode of Between Two Ferns — an October 2014 clip with Brad Pitt — when the video went live on Wednesday at 5 a.m. PT. Within hours it was trending on Facebook and Twitter. It became the most socialed Funny or Die clip — with 500,000 Facebook shares and 25,000 retweets — in its first day.
