And it's anyone's guess who she will be. (Applause.)

I was running on C.P.T. (Laughter.) (Sanders was the only current presidential candidate at this year's dinner. Congratulations on all your success. "In addition to Obama's comic address, Conan O'Brien managed to pull off one of the funniest WHCD performances of all time in 2013. (Applause.) Judge Merrick Garland, come on out, we’re going to do this right here, right now. Cheer up, we dedicate the yearbook to you!" (Laughter. (Applause.)
Like, did we fake the moon landing? He took shots at everyone, including the media, utilizing the metaphor of high school cliques: "Fox is the jocks. They suggested that I should start with some jokes at my own expense, just take myself down a peg. He then proceeded to hint that during his second term he might now be dancing to a different tune: "Actually, my advisers were a little worried about the new rap entrance music. (Laughter.) Even reporters have left me. (Laughter.) And I can make this commitment that as long as I hold this office, my administration will continue to fight for the release of American journalists held against their will — and we will not stop until they see the same freedom as Jason had. The media coverage that the dinner now whips up makes it a potboiler of political ambition. (Laughter.) That's because, over the years, he's stretched the genre of the address itself, walking right up to the line of what is seen as acceptable sarcasm.Since the days of Ronald Reagan, when the speech was more of a Johnny Carson-style late night monologue, presidents have used the event to settle political scores in a way that they would never do in a more formal environment.Bill Clinton, for example, used humor at his last correspondents dinner to defuse a narrative that he was a lame duck, posing in a film as a lonely president in a deserted White House, with his wife out on the Senate campaign trail.George W.
