Once again President Barack Obama brought the funny to the 89th annual White House Correspondents' Dinner.
From cracks about his birth certificate to jabs at his Vice President, Obama has always been willing to go to the distance to get laughs from the White House Press Corps and their Hollywood guests.
The president may have even been warming up for his monologue earlier this week, cracking a "Deflategate" joke when the 2014 Super Bowl champions, the Patriots, visited the White House.
This is Obama's second to last dinner - or "nerd prom" as it's been dubbed in D.C. - and the president wasted no time throwing out the comedic punches at the Washington Hilton Hotel.
Referencing presidential candidate Hillary Clinton setting off on her campaign in a van Obama joked, "For many Americans, this is still a time of deep uncertainty. I have one friend, just weeks ago, she was making millions of dollars a year, and she's now living out of a van in Iowa."
Using host Cecily Strong to poke fun at CNN Obama joked, "On Saturday Night Live, Cecily impersonates CNN anchor Brooke Bolden, which is surprising because usually the only people impersonating journalists are journalists on CNN."
Taking on Indiana's 'Religious Freedom' law Obama brought up his close friendship with Vice President Joe Biden, "We've gotten so close, at some places in Indiana, they won't serve us pizza anymore."
And on former Vice President Dick Cheney, Obama said "he thinks I’m the worst president of his lifetime, which is interesting because I think Dick Cheney is the worst president of my lifetime."
