"Decency is how we are all able to be here tonight " 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

It’s wonderful to live in a country where the comedian can get on stage and poke fun at the president and the press at the same time. May we always appreciate the timelessness of this event.

[Annagramma-ux]

Remember that this occasion did not happen during Trump’s tenure because he can’t stand being laughed at.

Decency respect having manners goes along way! Excellent speech at end.

Showing Doocy and the Fox table (not laughing) when he said "I didn't think there Was a step down from Fox" - 😂

[kbcurlz]

Trevor Noah was outstanding when he did this. Colin held his own. Tough crowd.

Indeed, cheers to decency over psychopathy!

[jaundice_japlin]

A self deprecating president who is smart and secure enough to take a joke. On the other hand you have a 80 year old face painter who gets into twitter wars with comedians.

Not the funniest WH Correspondence I've ever heard, but the most sincere and in this day and age, I appreciate that. Biden IS a decent human being, and Trump is NOT and that's a fact. Please please vote, people, like your democracy and freedoms depend on it.

Dumpster never went to a white house correspondence dinner, in 4 years, wonder why. Oh yes, he can't take a joke.😅😅

[Rezellen]

He really nailed it with his grandfather. I clapped from home. Well said.

[franknemeth]

Hopefully the U.S. can return to some kind of decency after this idiotic era were in - I can hope .

[JG-vqrd]

The fact that Trump refused to show up for these tells you all you need to know about his opinion on freedom of the press. Of course, he dropped a couple other clues as well.

[stephen-wahl]

I didn't realize he was this funny and if a joke ever falls flat he can certainly fall back on his charm. He's got some wickedly killer deadpan looks and perfectly timed pauses and reflective looks at the audience. Pretty potent combo especially when he can finish with such incredibly heartfelt authenticity that can bring a tear to your eye. That's one talented comedian and definitely worthy of the standing ovation.

Great job! Great President! He is SO able to take the jokes by laughing his butt off!! Love Colin Jost!! "Decency is how we're able to be here tonight!"

[w.rowechmura]

“I thought I saw Matt Gaetz but it was my reflection in a spoon.” 😂

[knhmkdq]

It's so nice and so much more reassuring to have a president in the oval office with a true sense of humor and that deals in reality with a sense of confidence! 🇺🇲😎

[PearlOfTheQuarter]

If you can’t take a joke you have no character 🧘🏾❤️

[kellieconnolly]

This was Great!..love you president Biden. You're doing a phenomenal job and counting on you to save us in 2024...Colin was funny!

Timing is right on for this event. They've been boozing since 5pm so they a bit foggy. Give them time to digest the gags. Plus that's a tough room, everyone is at the top of their gig. Good job Mr Jost.
