WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENTS DINNER: COLIN JOST TO ROAST PRESIDENT BIDEN
As the longtime co-anchor of “Weekend Update” on Saturday Night Live, Colin Jost has made plenty of jokes about President Biden. But this weekend, Jost gets to make these jokes directly to President Biden.
The annual White House Correspondents Dinner – aka the White Tie event where a comedian roasts the staff of the White House, the press that covers them, and the Commander in Chief – takes place Saturday, April 27. Here are all the details, including where to watch the WHCD on DISH

Well actually all the skits and funny bits, or attempted funny bits during the overly long program, sort of undermined his presentation. And yes O'Donnell looked very good, but she has an annoying attention seeking personality and she talked too much and too long. So while Colin didn't do as well as I hoped, it wasn't all his fault. Others sapped the energy from the room. It got kind of ridiculous.

R58 the headlines touting Jost roasting Biden were very misleading. So when it didn't happen they could say he failed? Typical of today's " journalism." As I recall, the comedian headliner usually doesn't roast the sitting President. In fact, from Kimmel, Seth Myers, and others, it is usually the Press who get lampooned by the headliner..

Colin had some good jokes, but his pacing was all wrong. Too many pauses. His delivery seemed very off. I was as if he was unprepared or that he was reading from a script and lost his place? I don't know, but I felt bad because he had some good stuff that suffered from the timing.

We haven't done anything at all on fashion from the event, or talked about the celebrities attending, like the Shogun guy. I saw a photo of Kyle Maclachlan and WTF happened to him? And Linda Carter? Wonder Woman looked amazing. Just gorgeous. Boris Sanchez and Jim Acosta were giving me the feels. Hot. Kate Bolduan must have thought she was at the Grammys or the Oscars? Is it possible to be overdressed. And can I just say, someone fucked over Colin Jost last night and he couldn't recover. He seemed to be trying to edit his performance as he went along because other people fucked with his themes. Like WTF did they have some random stand up guy in the audience doing imitations? He took up way too much time, his jokes were lame and he wasn't that good at imitating people.

The president doesn’t call it ‘cocaine,’ he calls it ‘high-speed rail.’
Isn’t it crazy that he’s only our second Catholic president? And what’s even crazier is that, in just a few short months, we’ll have our third in RFK Jr. I’m kidding. Like his vaccine card says, he doesn’t have a shot.
