President Barack Obama makes his debut on comedian Zach Galifianakis' web-based talk show "Between Two Ferns" Tuesday.
White House aides told the New York Times the president is appearing on the show to encourage young people to enroll in Obamacare through Healthcare.gov.
Though Obama has appeared on several talk shows and hosted Google Hangouts that appeared across entertainment networks, "Between Two Ferns" is new territory for the president. The shows host has gained a reputation for off-color humor on the show, even spanking singer Justin Bieber in one episode.
Dan Pfeiffer, Obama's senior adviser, told the Times the appearance is part of the president's constantly evolving communications strategy.
“We have to find ways to break through,” said Pfeiffer. “This is essentially an extension of the code we have been trying to crack for seven years now.”
