Last night SNL spent much of the show mocking the Trump presidency.

You know that absolutely NOBODY takes you seriously when even your doctor gets ridiculed on late night TV shows.

During my favorite part of he show, Weekend Update, the mocking continued.

Is there ANYBODY that Kate McKinnon cannot play on television?

This was almost as good as her Jeff Sessions.

Next up, Stormy Daniels.

Yep, we all "got a Stormy" alright. Lucky us.

Trump recently made the comment that he will win reelection because cable news shows, and reporters, will not want to see him leave office, because they make money writing about him.

That of course is bullshit.

However I have to imagine that late night comedy will certainly shed a tear or two when he is dragged kicking and screaming from the Oval Office.

Nah, just kidding. They will probably be applauding right along with the rest of us.

White House Correspondents Dinner open thread.

For my money this is the must watch TV for the evening.


The host tonight is Cecily Strong who I think really has her work cut out for her considering some of the amazing hosts of the past. (My favorite? Stephen Colbert in 2006. Still just about the bravest performance I have ever seen.)

Here is the list of invited guests. Which includes:

ABC - GWU Alumni and Scandal star Kerry Washington 

Christian Broadcasting Network - Newt and Callista Gingrich 

CBS News - Former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, and TV’s Madam Secretary Sec. of State Téa Leoni. 

CNN - Actress (and ex-wife of CNN founder Ted Turner) Jane Fonda Fox News - Donald Trump, Martha Stewart, and reality TV star Brody Jenner 

Huffington Post - YouTube and Vine stars like Bethany Mota, Nash Grier, Marcus Johns, Jerome Jarre, and Tyler Oakley 

USA Today - Fall Out Boy’s Pete Wentz, Naya Rivera of Glee, and Rob Thomas of Matchbox Twenty 

AOL - Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson, and New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick 

The Hill - Actresses Lucy Liu and Connie Britton 

The Washington Post - Steve Case, co-founder of AOL and Chairman of Case Foundation and Revolution, and Megan Smith, United States Chief Technology Officer in the Office of Science and Technology Policy 

(Yes you're correct, she wasn't invited here either.)

Lately my favorite part of the night is Obama's comedy routine.

He was great last year and I have every expectation that he will be even better this year.

I will update this post as new material becomes available.

Update: Some tweets about the WHCD.



The President killed it tonight.

Update 2: Here is the President's entire monologue.
