" The Republican candidate for president owes half a billion in fines for banking concern fraud and is currently spending his days farting himself awake during a pornstar hush money test . AND THE RACE IS TIED ! ? "
Last Saturday, I tuned in to the annual White House Correspondents' Dinner that featuredSNLcomedian Colin Jost.
Watching Jost respectfully shake hands with President Biden and proceed to ROAST THE HECK out of him was EVERYTHING.
People have had mixed reactions to Jost’s performance, with somepraising theSNLstar, calling his speech “funny, charming, and thoughtful,” while the New York Times wrote that Jost’s jokes “fell flat.”
Colin Jost was funny , charming , thoughtful and closed on a high bank note . He spoke of decency , something in brusk supplying right now and it was well get in the room . But the NYT conniption on . ( And he was n’t incorrect about the game , though I like the recipe too.)pic.twitter.com / S3hTjzpu2w
In almost 24 minutes, Jost took shots at EVERYONE, starting with President Biden’s memory:
Then he moved on to journalists:
He had some fun with elected officials in the crowd:
Then he called out a few media outlets:
He even shouted out his wife, Scarlett Johansson:
And saved the best roast for last, Donald Trump:
At the end of his speech, Jost told a heartfelt story about his late grandfather, a former firefighter, who he said voted for President Biden. “He voted for you, and the reason that he voted for you is because you’re a decent man.”
Man , this is about the classiest thing I ’ve seen in politics in a foresightful metre . It ’s funny , it ’s thoughtful , it ’s beautiful . Well done , Colin Jost.pic.twitter.com/bCITHKT3lp
