An episode of Zach Galifianakis' "Between Two Ferns" drew nearly 10 million views when he interviewed Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton.

It's reasonable to wonder when Galifianakis will have Donald Trump on the web talk show, but those expecting the two to chat may be disappointed.

Although shows won't have one presidential nominee as a guest without at least extending an invitation to others, the actor and comedian told the Los Angeles Times he is not interested in having the Republican nominee on his show.

"That doesn’t interest me. Doing it the other way doesn’t interest me," Galifianakis told the LA Times. "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.

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."

Whether or not Galifianakis is joking about the last part, we shouldn't expect Trump to sit between two ferns any time soon.
