- 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.

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

As a Korean , I am so proud of you Brad.
He has a great dad
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!

What a difference our workplaces could be if we had more of this spirit in our culture.
This comment is so spot on (and honestly more relevant than ever) 6 years later
Genuine, authentic,effortless and lovable, great speech brad !
This is one of your amazing things, Brad. Keep up your hard work!
17 minutes felt like 2 minutes .....very engaging speaker . Big thumbs up.
His Father has a lot of wisdom. And he shared it with him. Awesome dad tho.
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.
I like this guy.
I think he's married though
@@DrEboi477 I don't think he wants to bang him
Honest, Truthful and Humor that's what President Obama was and is! What an impressive talk and young man!
that video actually made me go to the website for the first time! and i was covered under obama care last year. i didn't know to sign up in time for this year but i cannot wait until december.
I am Chinese, and I am proud of myself
Laugh at yourself
Brad Jenkins you did good. I enjoyed your presentation. Keep up the spirit and keep sharing
His smiling is so infectious
thank you Brad for sharing your story, and thank you TEDx talks and TED for sharing the amazing knowledge

A talk I should've had at age 10... That would have saved a WORLD of trouble !

Great Personal Testimony about being oneself. Unfortunately the affordable health care is a disaster.
great sproken, with your happy radiant face, merci
That's what i do. I laugh at myself everytime they call me chinese, japanese or nepal. Chinese people even talk to me in chinese because they thought i am a chinese too. By the way, i am a full blooded Filipino. 😆
