The NBC host poked fun at almost everyone in the A-list crowd, including a good-gestured jab to E! reality star Kim Kardashian, whom Jimmy called the “biggest threat to America.”

Even President Obama couldn’t resist a one liner directed toward the Keeping Up with the Kardashians star. “Why is she famous anyway?” he quipped.

The President served to be just as comedic as Jimmy, making light of Hillary Clinton, Mitt Romney, Donald Trump and even the more recent Secret Service scandal.
