White House Correspondents Dinner: SNL's Colin Jost Skewers Joe Biden and Donald Trump

The White House Correspondents' Association held its annual White House Correspondents' Dinner, with SNL comedian Colin Jost being this year's guest comic. As expected, he poked fun at President Joe Biden to his face and did not hold back. However, his most stinging jokes were reserved for former President Donald Trump.

"It's after 10 p.m. Sleepy Joe is still awake, while Trump has spent the last week falling asleep in court every morning-though Fox News just said he was being anti-woke," he jokes as he poked fun at the former president. He also pointed out the irony of the current election landscape, saying, "The New York playboy took your abortion rights away, and the guy who's trying to give them back is an 80-year-old Catholic."

As for Biden, he also skewered him for his age, and he also added Trump in as they are only three years apart in that department, joking, "I'm not saying both candidates are old, but you know Jimmy Carter is out there thinking, 'I could maybe win this thing.' He's only 99."

Colin Jost also poked fun at himself and his wife, movie star Scarlett Johanssen. "Good evening, everyone, I'm Colin Jost, and I'll be delivering the Republican response," he jokes as he introduces himself. "I'll be honest with you, I don't have a lot of time. I need to get back to New York because I'm juror number five on a big trial. Trump's lawyer took one look at me, and he's like, 'He's got to be on our side.'"

Jost also poked fun at the media, including the New York Times, joking, "Wordle is here! Sorry, I mean the New York Times. I forgot they do stuff in addition to puzzles."

He also pointed out how nerdy the White House Correspondents' Dinner actually is while also skewering Republican Matt Gaetz and his love of underaged girls, joking, "We're all here tonight at 'nerd prom'...well, Matt Gaetz is at regular prom."

Before Colin Jost took to the podium to deliver his jokes, it was President Biden himself who was handing out the laughter as he not only poked fun at his Republican opponent but also at himself.

For Trump, Biden skewered his political rival over his childing antics, joking, As for Biden, he also skewered him for his age, and he also added Trump in as they are only three years apart in that department, joking, "The 2024 election is in full swing and yes, age is an issue, I'm a grown man running against a six-year-old."

He also joked about Trump's recent comments about the Battle at Gettysburg, as Biden joked, "Speaking of history, did you hear what Donald just said about a major civil war battle? 'Gettysburg - wow!' Trump's speech was so embarrassing, the statue of Robert E Lee surrendered again."

Donald Trump Triggered by Colin Jost and Joe Biden's Jokes About Him at White House Correspondents' Dinner

As for the former president, he did not seem very much amused by his rival and the SNL comedian poking fun at him. Trump, who has a history of thin skin and not being able to take jokes, took to social media and, as expected, ranted about it.

"The White House Correspondents' Dinner was really bad. Colin Jost BOMBED, and Crooked Joe was an absolute disaster! Doesn't get much worse than this!" posted the former president after being triggered by the two comedy routines.
