  • President Obama's appearance on "Between Two Ferns" made tens of millions of people laugh (and saved lives in the process). In a culture flooded with too much partisan information, comedy is the last great refuge of truth and access.
    Brad Jenkins is the Managing Director and Executive Producer of Funny Or Die DC. For the last four years, Jenkins served as President Obama’s liaison and director of engagement to the creative and advocacy communities, bringing together creative executives, advocacy leaders, and some of the world’s biggest stars to advance the President’s agenda -- including his Emmy-award winning "Between Two Ferns" interview on the Affordable Care Act. See www.funnyordie.com
    This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx

    When I first met my future my son in law, he told me, with a laugh in his voice, "I'm Jap-i-can!" Ha! He is half Japanese, and half Mexican! IT WAS GREAT!

    He's not downing Chinese, he just didn't see himself as that so it felt alien to be called that. It would have been the same if they had called him "hey Icelandic boy." You get the idea... anyway he is handsome and funny no matter what his genes.
