- 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
1) don’t take yourself so seriously

Laugh at yourself & never let your negative thoughts ruin your confidence, Keep Rising......!!
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!

1. Don't take yourself so seriously
2. You got to be good at what you do
3. You got to be good to people
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!
I am Chinese, and I am proud of myself
Laugh at yourself
Wonderful and amazing story. Thank you so much for the inspiration talk. You're a beautiful person. And so is your father and family.
His Father has a lot of wisdom. And he shared it with him. Awesome dad tho.
17 minutes felt like 2 minutes .....very engaging speaker . Big thumbs up.
great inspiration- thank you so much
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 swear I thought it was Obama speaking due to the picture.
Staci Koutsis me too
Staci Koutsis come over and take this nuts
Same
Same here lol
Why is Obama on the cover photo 😂
powerful message! And thank you for sharing papa J's words as well!
Well-done to your Papa J, great talk, great speaking and a great smile. Such a charismatic person.
Brad Jenkins you did good. I enjoyed your presentation. Keep up the spirit and keep sharing
Way to go Brad!!!!!
thank you Brad for sharing your story, and thank you TEDx talks and TED for sharing the amazing knowledge
His smiling is so infectious
i will try not to forget papa J's words
I have learnt something on use of humor
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.
Reminds me of Ted's Philosophy. "Party on, dude!" and "Be excellent to each other!"
I like this guy.
I think he's married though
@@DrEboi477 I don't think he wants to bang him
Awesome point of view. Will listen again with my son.
100 % implementing what u said.

Read the title as 'Brad Jenkin' and seeing the thumbnail with Obama's picture got me clicking this video immediately. 😂 Great though! 😀
Still waiting for that one where TED actually talks!
TED never talks, its just the name of the organisation

Greta Silver - zu jung fürs Alter
What an amazing speech
You go Brad! :)
Funnily enough this campaign is still giving because I need insurance and this video came across my recommended... Keep up your hard work.
Your Dad gives good advice
I wish I could talk like this guy.
Started out great I loved it and all of the sudden it was about politics.
Comedy, spiritual formation, sports and music are all a great refuge of truth and access.
Nice video. already applying these things in my life except one "Being humorist"So whats that website that Brad mentioned that make funny video?
If you can’t laugh at yourself or take anything too serious know I can’t relate, and I hope you find fun in your life because it’s ok too, except everyone will not care 😂 so be brave and just be you !
he is so good looking
hahahahahah I am Chinnese, That seriously made me Laugh, such a sweetheart you are.
excellent
message comes at 5:27
Just wondered what his mother was called! Did I miss that? I liked this a lot!
I really thought it was Obama's TED talk.
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. 😆
ah, finally. that was worth watching.
Très bon
We’ll played my friend , we’ll played
he is so charming
Well-done all for the health care cover, amazing work.
Pa pa j is amazing
Love This Rant Blow; My Own Mind at Least Once Per Day; and it truly is Self Improvement...lol

One thing i realised of myself is how i catastrophe things and ALWAYS think negativoo n bad things very much cyncic
It’s Affordable care act,
Saw the thumbnail thought this was gonna be between to ferns. Lol
A talk I should've had at age 10... That would have saved a WORLD of trouble !
"Reading Rainbow!!"
Allowing your humor to be used for Good, it’s a style I hope to achieve someday and of course
WORLD PEACE ;)
It's 12:33 am

Great Personal Testimony about being oneself. Unfortunately the affordable health care is a disaster.
