The White House correspondents’ dinner, also known as the “nerd prom,” is a century-old event where journalists, politicians and celebrities share laughs over friendly jabs and food — held again at the Hilton Washington, in Washington D.C.
The comedian on site, "SNL" alum Colin Jost, had some competition during the packed event: President Joe Biden, who came correct in full "Joe Cool" mode. Aviators likely on hand to shield himself from any heat coming his way via the jokesters in the room. And both of them did way better than Matt Friend, a warm-up comedian who got crickets and then, worse, groans from the crowd with way too soon jokes about the Trump courthouse self-immolator and Kristi Noem shooting her puppy.
