Watch Hillary Clinton regret going on talk show with Zach Galifianakis

The U.S. presidential campaign continues to dominate the headlines as we get closer to November’s Election Day, and both of the major parties’ candidates have been showing up in some interesting places as they make the media rounds. Case in point: Democratic Party candidate Hillary Clinton’s recent appearance on Funny or Die’s faux talk show Between Two Ferns.

Surprisingly, it takes Clinton a little over two minutes of being badgered by the show’s host, comedian and actor Zach Galifianakis, to announce that she “really regrets doing this.”

Galifianakis’ interview with Clinton on Between Two Ferns lasts just over five minutes, but as usual, the Funny or Die series packs a lot of awkward comedy into that time.

At one point, Galifianakis asks Clinton whether she would consider being “more racist” after seeing how successful Republican candidate Donald Trump has been in cultivating support from white-supremacist groups — including the American Nazi Party. Clinton simply shook her head and laughed at him.

The comedian and actor also joked about the significance of Clinton’s run for the presidency, adding that “for a younger, younger generation, you will also become their first white president.”

In appearing on the show, Clinton took a page from current U.S. President Barack Obama’s book. Back in 2014, Obama appeared on Between Two Ferns as part of his campaign to promote the Affordable Care Act, which helped make health insurance available to a large portion of U.S. citizens.

To her credit, Clinton managed to keep a straight face throughout much of the uncomfortably funny interview, which opened with Galifianakis getting tackled by Secret Service agents and only got more ridiculous from there.

“Critics have questioned some of your decision making recently and by you doing this show I hope it finally puts it to rest,” Galifianakis said early in the interview.

“I think it absolutely proves their case,” responded Clinton.

Miami Vice, the iconic neo-noir cop drama of the '80s, is heading back to the big screen. Top Gun: Maverick director Joseph Kosinski has signed on to helm Miami Vice from a script by Eric Warren Singer, which is being rewritten by Andor scribe Dan Gilroy.

According to Deadline, Kosinski may not get around to Miami Vice right away. He still has to direct an untitled UFO project at Apple Studios for producer Jerry Bruckheimer. Kosinski's next movie, F1, will be released this summer by Warner Bros. Pictures and Apple Studios.

Adrianne Palicki had talks with Marvel about playing Mockingbird in the MCU
Adrianne Palicki as Mockingbird in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D..

Just over a decade ago, actress Adrianne Palicki joined the cast of Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. season 2 as Agent Bobbi Morse aka Mockingbird. In Marvel's comic book universe, Mockingbird was also an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. before marrying Hawkeye and joining the Avengers. Palicki's version of the character never had the chance to go in that direction, but the actress recently revealed that she was in talks with Marvel years ago about playing Mockingbird in the MCU movies.

"The conversation I had when I signed on actually to Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. was either I was going to be participating in the films or have a spinoff," said Palicki during a recent interview with The Direct. Palicki became a series regular through the end of the second season and into the third. Nick Blood was also introduced in the show as Bobbi's ex-husband, Lance Hunter. Blood and Palicki were written out of the series in season 3 to film a spinoff, Marvel's Most Wanted. However, ABC ultimately declined to go forward with the show.
