Actor and “Between Two Ferns” host Zach Galifianakis says he has no plans to bring Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump on his hit show. 

{mosads}”No. That doesn’t interest me. Doing it the other way doesn’t interest me,” Galifianakis told the Los Angeles 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.” 

“The Hangover” star didn’t pull any punches talking about his feelings regarding the billionaire. 

“I wouldn’t have somebody on that’s so mentally challenged. And you can print that.”

Last week, Scott Aukerman, the director and producer of the online comedy show, said Trump is too thin-skinned to appear on the program.

Aukerman wouldn’t rule out the possibility that Trump might contact the producers but said he is sure the GOP nominee would not sit down for an improvised interview.

“I wouldn’t be surprised if his team reached out, but I’d be surprised if it ever were to happen in the same way this happened, with us being able to improvise questions,” he added.

Their comments come after Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton’s appearance on the “Funny or Die” show eclipsed more than 30 million views, the most ever in its eight-year history that has included guests from President Obama to Brad Pitt.
