The 9 best jokes from White House correspondents’ dinner
Colin Jost, co-anchor of Saturday Night Live’s Weekend Update segment and husband to actress Scarlett Johansson, was an entertainer at the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner on Saturday. His 20-minute set was filled with jokes made at the expense of President Joe Biden, Donald Trump, and the journalists in attendance.
Jost began by saying he “was excited to be up here on stage with President Biden tonight, mostly to see if I could figure out where Obama was pulling the strings from.” He then joked that it was “not easy following President Biden. I mean, it's not always easy following what he's saying.”
Jost then took a jab at twice-impeached Trump, saying it was“refreshing to see a president of the United States at an event that doesn't begin with a bailiff saying, 'All rise.'"
“We are all here tonight at nerd prom,” he said. “Well, Matt Gaetz is at regular prom.”
