LOS ANGELES, Sept. 27 (UPI) — Zach Galifianakis is against having Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump on his awkward “Funny or Die” talkshow, “Between Two Ferns.”

“No. That doesn’t interest me,” the comedian said during an interview with The Los Angeles Times after he was asked if Trump’s campaign was interested in appearing on the show after his opponent Hillary Clinton did to much fanfare.

“Doing it the other way doesn’t interest me. He’s the kind of guy who likes attention — bad attention or good attention. So you’re dealing with a psychosis there that’s a little weird,” Galifianakis continued.

“I wouldn’t have somebody on that’s so mentally challenged. I feel like I’d be taking advantage of him. And you can print that.”

Galifianakis also shared how he felt Clinton had a good sense of humor during her appearance and was game for the type of off-putting questions he normally presents during the show.

“I was very impressed with her,” he said. “I walked away from that whole interview going, ‘She’s cool.’ I thought she was cool, and I don’t know if that was my impression of her before that.”

Galifianakis has also had President Obama appear on “Between Two Ferns” in 2014 in order to get young people to sign up for health insurance under the Affordable Care Act.
