April 29 2012, Published 8:43 a.m. ET
Late night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel had the honor of hosting the 2012 White House Correspondents’ Dinner last night and entertained the crowd with some funny one-liners alongside President Barack Obama.
“This is how you know things are bad. Our president is starving. North Korea is sending him food aid,” Jimmy joked via E! Online of the President’s slender frame, while speaking at the Washington Hilton Hotel on Saturday evening.
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.
