"Orange is the new Black".
Childish, sarcastic liberal chance to smear republicans..not even remotely funny..these jokers need some help with talent...hollywood bash..
Totally agree with Ben Stein's assessment of the "comedy." Only Don Rickles can get away with this type of humor.
The Soup guy ruined it for us. Can't watch Tosh either. Gay/vicious humor is not funny, just a vain attempt to raise self.
He is awonderfull president!
The president has done a super great job !! we know is not been easy but he new it was going to be fun dirty job but "! We love him and his family
OMG! An event where both parties come together and finally have a few laughs? BENGHAZI! OMG! BENGHAZI!!!!! You poor right wing lemmings who follow Fox, Roger Ailes is laughing at you.
In other words, Pres. Obama spent the night schmoozing with in base. Hollywood elites and the Manhattan media.
-–well, Bush already said the joke that Jeb is running for WH, it is biggest joke of the year. World knows Bush is out of mind when said so. And more so USA can NOT accommodate any bushes nor Republicans for fifty years or so.
Really, the entire thing is a big charade.....hollywood acting like its a "party" and Washington trying to be even more like Hollywood in seeking adulation and love from the other coast. Makes you want to vomit. All of them ought to go out and try to get a real job.
The large presence of Hollywood people, clearly shows who the media is today........the media and Hollywood are one and the same. Journalism is dead. Long live entertainment, masquerading as news.
Many of the jokes would be funny if they weren't so true, besides the loads of other jokes that were deleted or never thought of, because they'd communicate the cold, hard truth. We've gotten pretty bad when all we can do is laugh at corruption and incompetence at the highest level of government. It's time for a complete change.
In other words, Pres. Obama spent the night schmoozing with his base. Hollywood elites and the Manhattan media.
I think republicans need Obamacare more than the others. They don't laugh when it is the time to do so. If a person is not happy, he falls sick in a matter of time. Where will they get help if they haven't enrolled themselves for the Health Care they need.
everything obama has touched domestically and abroad is a mess…that is not funny, especially when lives are begin lost, and good responsible Americans health care suffers. But, these folks live in the land of make believe…narcissistic behavior rarely matches reality.

Been going on for years under president on both sides of the aisle. But then, no one would expect you to know that.

What are you whining about? Your ilk is what keeps Faux "News" in business!
Exceptional president!
Hollywood "heavies", CNN? None of those
overrated-and over exposed-stars looked obese-or worried, as most of US, about inflationary prices and erratic medical care/bills or Benghazi or IRS meddling in their Bel Aire lairs(for now- very transient area), but they should be.
Once Republicans take Both Houses of Congress, Obama will be impeached. He sure looked old last night. Maybe his pals
Frey, Dreyfuss, et al can help him swing a cable reality show-after the fall. He is such a veteran in those climes, aside from even visiting Detroit, So Chicago, or martial-law ready Oakland, Ca. Bel-Aire, Palm Beach, well????
Dems ARE jokers that keep on giving. wow he he he ! 🙂
Kind of interesting that most presidents have a self deprecating sense of humor Obozo does not. His jokes slam people who don't agree with him, just like his speeches. They always seem to mock hard working American taxpayers who want to keep the money they work for.
Fourth estate was supposed to be a govt watchdog; its become a govt dna depository.
