WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENTS DINNER: COLIN JOST TO ROAST PRESIDENT BIDEN

Sounds fun…I like both of them.

Roast? Are they going to eat me?

Spitfire or Dry?

From earlier this week, mein Fuhrer.

I’d take the host deeply.

Repeatedly.

Considering the recent plethora of NY Post-linked submissions, I suspect OP is on the payroll.

Actually, yes.

It’s clickbaiting.

R6 How?

R5 is either joking or a paranoid, partisan idiot.

As Cloris Leachman said at the Bob Saget Roast, " Someone punch me, so I can see some stars."

Chris Pine

Billy Porter is there.

Scarlett

Caitlyn Jenner and Jenna Talackova

The male talking head on CNN just pronounced dais "die--is."

So glad I'm old...

Eugene Daniels from POLITICO will be the incoming White House Correspondents President next year and will be in charge of this event then.

NBC's Kelly O'Donnell is in charge this year.

More Scarlett

And more Scarlett

CNN's on-site host Harry Enten seems very gay.

r12 - That is *expert* fitting.

Christ, Lara Trump has balls to show up. She's tucked, of course.

R19 Scarlett has put on a few pounds.

Eeeew! Surely, she knows she's going to get pummeled .

Kate Bolduan is a little tipsy.

Lara dump looks like a blowup doll

Is Aymon wearing a brown jacket?

Kate Bolduan's dress is hideous.

More pics

Trump never attended when he was POTUS. Coward.

R28 Trump got his feelings hurt when Obama hosted.

Obama was roasting Trump while he was contemplating the bin Laden strike.

Kelly O Donnell is annoying.

Kelly has lost a lot of weight.

Who is this painfully unfunny impressionist?

Matt was good.

Matt Friend, official low point

Eugene Daniels is upstaged by his Star Trek Ambassador outfit.

R9, How many guys will follow Jon Hamm to the men’s room to hopefully get a peek?

R18 - “ CNN's on-site host Harry Enten seems very gay.”

Enten pings from Saturn and back. Only a matter of time when he blows the hinges off his closet door.

Biden hits Don hard.

Biden: "Did you hear what Donald just said about the major civil war battle? 'Gettysburg ... wow!' Trump's speech was so embarrassing the statue of Robert E Lee surrendered again"

“Donald has had a few tough days lately. You might call it, stormy weather."

Matt Gaetz slammed by Jost.

He’s bombing but has had a few zingers.

This is SNL without a laughtrack.

Pathetic.

Colin Jost: “We are all here tonight at nerd prom. While Matt Gaetz is at regular prom.”

Poor Colin. It might have gone better had he and Michael Che co-hosted.

WE DON'T TYPE IN ALL CAPS, OP

R44 - Probably

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.

Who is the conservative downer on CNN all upset?

Scott Jennings a Mitch McConnell lacky. He is always like that.

Even Sleepy Joe was more entertaining than the Jost Host.

Agreed R47. I don’t remember the program going as long as it did this year. And Kelly O is unbearable.

R51 by the time Colin finally came on, the audience was restless, and pretty drunk. Joe read the room. He got off a few zingers, and then closed on a serious note. O'DOnnell's introduction of Colin was way too much.

I went years ago. Week 1 of my first job. The business I worked at had an extra spot at the table and in an egalitarian move did a lottery that I won. Luckily I owned a tuxedo. The year was 1990. It was a big deal for me.

Can you imagine the wait to get out of there?

The DC Hilton is used to groups leaving quickly.

r45, Headlines do not follow regular composition norms.

The only joke I thought was funny was Jost addressed

the SHART IN THE COURTROOM.

r56 ***EXTRA***EXTRA***WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENTS DINNER JOST TO ROAST BIDEN***EXTRA***EXTRA

JOST ROASTS POTUS!

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..

I thought Joe's "Stormy weather" crack was hilarious.

Just what the Biden campaign needed to hear . . .

“Mr. President, you remind me of my late grandfather”.

(R36) Did Hamm even show up? Too hungover?

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.

R63, He’s not a comedian, he’s a comedy writer.

R62, Hamm was there.

Only 66 posts?

Did they do away with their version of a Red Carpet? I remember when the WHCD would draw many, many more posts. Given the state of the world right now, it would be distasteful to have Red Carpet entrances, but still.

Well, I'm not one to talk. I didn't bother watching it myself when there was a day when I wouldn't miss it or the DL thread.

Oh.

Never mind. I guess there was a Red Carpet.

Eric and Lara Trump arrive....

Gayle King, trying way too hard.

Damn Kamala looks amazing

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.

So. That's all I have.

Except for Johannsen, either the WaPo or the NY Times declared the celebs "B Listers".

Brianna Keilar

R74, Is that a Don Loper original?

r73, It was the NERD ball.

I would have expected Mayim Bialik before ScarJo in a regular year.

I thought Brianna Keilar looked lovely. Rosario Dawson looked witchy. That hair style.

No love for Helen Tomas?

Melanie Zanona

Some decent jokes in there…

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.

The candidate who was a famous New York City playboy took abortion rights away, and the guy who’s trying to give you your abortion rights back is an 80-year-old Catholic.

Colin just got knocked down a notch which might slow his elevated ego a bit. His material was quite good. His delivery sucked.

R81, There was no flow to his delivery.

I kept up with the trial a bit this week and know the bozo still keeps falling asleep. But was he really tooting himself awake at points or was that just a joke? I'm not trying to be funny I just wouldn't put it past him to be ripping away like he did with the Turkey king or whoever he was and Adam K claims he always smells a bit like makeup and ass.

R83, Adam Kinzinger knows only too well what ass smells like. He’s had his closeted nose in plenty of them.

[quote] We haven't done anything at all on fashion from the event

John Fetterman and his tux hoodie and shorts were at the WHCD, his wife said she was embarrassed to be with him.

I love Gisele Fetterman.

Fetterman was himself. This was the Nerd Prom, not a fucking state dinner.

R87 Agree.

I also agree. I think it's cute.

Holy Fuck. Sorry to obsess, but everyone go back to the images at R27, and scroll through to see HOW GOD-DAMNED FABULOUS LYNDA CARTER LOOKED??! Outshined everyone, even women half her age.

I know, Mary!

Are Al Roker and Deborah Roberts still married? They never seem to pose together.

R90 - If anything, she looks too thin.

Jost really bombed and it was awful watching him grimace and smack his lips between each joke.

r81, he was holding for the laugh track.

[quote] "The year was 1990. It was a big deal for me."

In a Republican year. That extra ticket would've found another simp.

Lol at Kennedy in her plaid dress

I hope Jost’s “look at how cute I am” delivery goes over better at home.

R94 could be right.

She looks a bit drawn, R90.

R93, Remember the year Don Imus was the comic guest and he reeled off a bunch of inappropriate jokes about Clinton and Hillary just sat there fuming?

The cameras did not show one reaction shot of Jill all evening.

I’m sure she did not like the Obama pulling the strings crack from Jost.

When they posed for a group shot at the end, Kamala cozied up right next to Jill, who did not even acknowledge her. It’s no secret that Jill cannot abide Kamala.

The Night of One Thousand Mediocrities

Jost is the epitome of bland and spineless

Dana Bash for worst-dressed.

[quote] Remember the year Don Imus was the comic guest

Howard Stern must have been having a field day.

I like Jost and he must be having a hard time today. I like his story about his grandfather.

R104 Was John King there?

I liked it too, R106. But it wasn’t a campaign stop. He was supposed to be the comic relief and provide some entertainment. I didn’t get why he was thinking his family, etc. like he was accepting some award. Do they usually do that. It started to sound like a valedictorian speech.

*thanking

A former Congress critter weighs in.

He's not wrong. She looks better than Candy Crowley

R111 - LOL. Everyone looks better than Candy.

OP How could Colin do this after learning that Biden's uncle was eaten by cannibals!

[QUOTE]It’s no secret that Jill cannot abide Kamala.

Please tell!

R114, Jill has never forgiven Kamala for basically calling her husband a racist during the 2020 primary debate.

“I was that girl . . .”

How many photographs of just Jill and Kamala have you seen since?

Lynda Carter was the goddess the evening needed - she looked absolutely stunning - but I have to say that I loved the “punchy” blue dress that Fox News almost-bald-woman wore. The color more than the style, (which also wasn’t bad).

Don Imus in 1996 excoriating just about everybody in the room beginning @ 25:10.

If Linda Carter was the goddess of the evening, Kate Bolduan was the tart!

Symone brought along a couple of close friends.

Kate was tipsy, R118.

What was Abby wearing?

What was Abby Philips wearing?

I don't recognize the Vulcan female

Who R123?

Caitlyn Jenner looks like your friend's mom who didn't care if anybody drank, as long as nobody drove.

Abbie Phillips was resplendent in a gold caped concoction. Right out of the Marvel Universe.

R125, So, is Caitlyn fucking this young woman?

R126 Good description

[Quote] It’s no secret that Jill cannot abide Kamala.

can anyone?

Caitlin is trying for Mariska.

R129 more Troll Bullshit.

CNN anchor Dana Bash decimated her colleague David Urban on Sunday when he insisted that pro-Palestinian protests outside the White House Correspondents’ Dinner received no cable news coverage.

“You were inside drinking!” Bash shot back after Urban, a CNN senior political commentator, claimed he never saw CNN’s reporting on the demonstrations.

I've seen Kate tipsy on air a few times before.

R133 - Last year she was tipsy at the WHCD. But other than that, when?

Biden trails Trump in seven key swing states a few months out from Election Day, new poll shows

R135 Please stifle

And yet, Trump continues to fall asleep in court...

This was a ho hum WHCD.

R134 one or two of those New Year's shows. The ones with Brooke Baldwin slurring.

Brooke seems like a fun drunk.
