Crowd needed to borrow a sense of humor.

He did a great job - funny, honest and vulnerable.

Good job. HARD room! Reminds me of my 20yrs in DC. 🎉

A number of the jokes fell flat, but I think that's because they hit close to home. Biden still laughed.

When I was a kid I was asked who I preferred Carter or Reagan. I said "Carter because he actually cares Reagan is just acting.*

I could maybe win this thing --- Jimmy Carter . Best joke of the evening. And. Love how Colin uses PAPER rather than a teleprompter. Huzzah for Humor and the serious journalists. Respectfully submitted for your consideration Gregg Oreo Long Beach CA Etats Unis

Beautifully touching that bit about Colin's grandfather. Well done, America. The dinner is a time honouired tradition.

Successfully pushing limits is an earned privilege.

Dry, but cleverly funny, Biden took the ribbing with grace❤

[bryanmachin]

This kind of stuff could get you executed in a lot of countries! But not in our country.... yet.

[GS-uyxo]

He did his job - hitting hard with lots of truth, I loved it !

[Goldenknave]

I like Biden, people give him a lot of sh#% but hes pretty normal. This may be the last correspondents dinner of this kind if a normal president is taken for granted. There is a reason we remember Nero and Caligula with disgust and horror, they were neither decent or normal. Vote your conscience people.

I like Presidents that aren't facing 88 criminal charges!

Colin Jost WAS HILARIOUS, VERY WITTY, & SMART JOKES! I was surprised not everybody was laughing. Colin’s family information was heart warming. Biden did a good job as well. At least we have a President that participates in roles that are expected of him. Trump did not participate in the White House correspondents dinner during his presidency.

From Europe: We hope you'll vote for descensy rather than orange insanity

[Coolnesski]

The vibes about the economy aren’t bad. It comes from 1/2 of the country thriving on listening to Fox bashing it and Joe undeservedly 24/7.

[peterbathum]

Great Job Collin !
FWIW many of your jokes landed great out here away from that room full of power and excrement.

[EmpoweredTransition]

Colin you’re the best. We love you, you did great. I think the lack of laughs are because some people aren’t used to this style of humor, but it’s smart, witty and truthful. ❤

This is hilarious . And moving. Absolutely brilliant. Well done.
