Zach Galifianakis once came up with a very special nickname for President Obama, he recounted on “The Daily Show” Tuesday night.

It all started when Galifianakis came to the White House to film the Emmy-winning “Between Two Ferns” episode to promote Obamacare.

“Before we went to interview the president, I ate in the White House with his staff – you know, young, six to eight of them. There’s a restaurant in the White House,” Galifianakis said.

“You don’t have to pay, but there’s a dessert menu. And on the dessert menu, there’s something called Chocolate Freedom.”

Galifianakis said he wasn’t trying to be funny, but he asked the White House staff, “You guys call the president that, right?”

“You know what they said?” he continued. “You’ve got to ask him that!”

The actor then went on to confirm that he has not, in fact, ever called the president “Chocolate Freedom” to his face.
