While comedian mainly played to leftist pro-Biden MSM crowd with numerous anti-Trump jokes, he also managed to get a few savage barbs at the Democrat presidential nominee.
Liberal comedian and Saturday Night Live cast member Colin Jost hilariously mocked Joe Biden during the White House Correspondents’ Dinner Sunday night, making several jokes at the senile puppet president’s expense.
While the SNL “Weekend Update” anchor definitely played to the leftist pro-Biden MSM crowd with numerous anti-Trump jokes throughout his routine, he also managed to get a few savage barbs at the Democrat presidential nominee. See a few of Jost’s jabs at Biden below.
Jost joked about Biden losing support among Black Americans:
He also remarked on Biden stumbling going up the stairs of Air Force One:
“…Like with the economy, the vibes are bad, but the numbers say it’s strong. The economy is sort of like you [Biden] on steps of Air Force One — it feels like it’s stumbling, but there’s somehow upward progress.”
At one point, Jost claimed he’d forgot his cocaine at the White House, but that Biden used it to get through his State of the Union address:
“The last time I was in DC, I left my cocaine at the WH. Luckily, the President was able to put it to good use for his State of the Union…Of course, the President doesn’t call it cocaine. He calls a high-speed rail by the way. Can you blame the guy for turning to cocaine? He must be exhausted orchestrating for for separate trials against his rival, rigging the Super Bowl, and gearing up to steal a second election…I love by the way, the trump’s to attacks on president Biden, or that he’s a senile old man and a criminal mastermind. I’m like, I think you gotta pick one.”
Jost also suffered a brief meltdown laying out how Trump is embroiled in several court cases — but still tying Biden in polls:

He also commented on both presidential candidates’ old age:
Here’s Jost’s routine in full:
Former President Donald Trump, who was the butt of several Jost jests, was unamused, writing on Truth Social, “The White House Correspondents’ Dinner was really bad. Colin Jost BOMBED, and Crooked Joe was an absolute disaster! Doesn’t get much worse than this!”
The New York Times was also unhappy with Jost’s set:
Ahead of Jost taking the stage, Crooked Joe Biden also tried his decrepit old hand at comedy, at one point brazenly joking about the legal battles in which his opponent’s currently engaged.
Here’s Biden’s full appearance, which contained several campaign-style statements rather than jokes.
