UPDATE 7:50 PM PT — Trevor Noah followed Joe Biden, and his monologue went scorched earth on just about everyone … from CNN to FOX News, Joe Biden and Jen Psaki and everyone in between.

Fox News
UPDATE In his usual fashion, TN masterfully roasted just about everyone in the news biz — without being too mean or going too over the line. The guy is certainly a professional in his craft, and it showed tonight. Here’s just a taste of Trevor’s awesome jokes and delivery … well done!
President Biden busted out his comedy chops during the White House Correspondents’ Dinner — and his jokes were kinda hit or miss … but he took his shots regardless.
JB was on hand Saturday at the Washing Hilton in D.C. — the first time the dinner’s been held since 2019, and the first a POTUS was at since longer — and after a lengthy introduction full of awards and guest speakers … Joe took to the podium to deliver remarks.
Right off the bat, Joe made some wise cracks about the press … but also about himself, starting out by saying he appreciated all 42% of the people who clapped for him — a wink to his recent approval rating.
He then said this about Donald Trump … “We had a horrible plague, followed by two years of COVID,” which got a big laugh from the room. From there, Joe’s reception was up and down — he made some viewership jokes about MSNBC, and then went after FOX News.
He noted that even though FOX News might sound anti-vaxx at times … he assured everyone, your fave FOX journalists are vaccinated to be here tonight. Another line that was interesting … Joe acknowledging the “Let’s go Brandon” gag, sort of embracing it.
He ended with a more serious note … saying America is “not a reality show,” and that too got a major reaction. All in all, not too shabby from Joe — a mixed bag, but mostly positive.
