Comedian and late night host Jimmy Kimmel roasting at the 2012 White House Correspondents' Dinner. Funny stuff. All rights belong to CSPAN

[@ryankaible2811]

I love how the first lady nodded at Christie after the joke. Very nice and humble.

[@annelousteau9799]

love jimmy, love barack!!! ❤❤❤❤❤

[@PsoriasisChannel]

Those were the days.... thx.

[@jimdenbo955]

I'm watching today ,May 8th, 2024 ❤ President Obama and Jimmy Kimmel ❤️

[@bonzology322]

Who woulda believed this democracy will become a dictatorship in a mere 6 months, trump is a traitor and the imbeciles will put him in and end the republic

[@JosephKearns-is9ci]

I recently watched Stephen Colbert host this in 2006, when George Bush Jr was the president, and it was amazing. Maybe these dinners should have two comedians with opposing political ideologies perform and roast everyone. I actually can't believe that Stephen Colbert was the host that year

[@anuragprasad2891]

​@JosephKearns-is9ci it is not true what you say

[@JosephKearns-is9ci]

@@anuragprasad2891 lol I'm confused. What's not true?

[@JosephKearns-is9ci]

@@anuragprasad2891 I say a lot of stuff haha. You will need to be more specific. Unless I'm joking though everything i say I can actually cite my sources to you like in college.i can tell you where I read things, where I watched something, who said what and my perspective on the issue.

[@jimgriffin8978]

doing a 25 minute set is not easy.....Much respect.

Jimmy Kimmel's performance at the 2012 White House Correspondents' Dinner was hilarious, edgy, and at times uncomfortable, but that's what makes it memorable. Kimmel took shots at politicians, celebrities, and even the press, proving he was unafraid to push boundaries. One of the highlights of Kimmel's set was his riff on the Secret Service scandal that had just unfolded, where agents had been caught with prostitutes in Colombia. Kimmel quipped, "I do have a lot of jokes about the Secret Service. I told them for $800 I wouldn't tell any, but they only offered $30." Kimmel also took aim at Newt Gingrich, joking, "Newt Gingrich's campaign is so dead, Mitt Romney wants to baptize it and Rick Santorum wants to put it in a jar and show it to his kids." He also poked fun at President Obama, saying, "You remember when the country rallied around you in hopes of a better tomorrow? That was hilarious." Kimmel's jokes were a hit with the audience, and even the President himself seemed to be enjoying the comedian's performance. Kimmel's humor was edgy, but he never crossed the line into offensiveness. He was able to poke fun at the powerful without being mean-spirited, which is a testament to his skill as a comedian. Overall, Jimmy Kimmel's performance at the 2012 White House Correspondents' Dinner was a comedic triumph. His jokes were smart, witty, and well-delivered, and he proved once again why he is one of the funniest comedians working today.

Great comment, well said and spot on! I'm fairly politically aware but this is the first time I've seen this!

[@wintercame]

Watching this in May 2024 and I agree! A triumph.

[@JaiMahadevv27]

best roast EVER! Jimmy actually wasn't afraid to ROAST these people.

[@ShadowBox112]

Shawn Mcgnnity ita funny cause Trump was such a bitch he didn't even show up to his

[@yoshikatsumi6365]

trump already had a roast at comedy central so he probably wouldn't want another as a president.

[@nordicblood8470]

Kimmel was good... but if you want to see a legendary roast.... Go search NORM MCDONALD Nuclears Bill Clinton n the rest of the DNC

[@oneirishpoet]

And Jimmy Kimmel is STILL roasting the hell out of these despicable bastards

[@oneirishpoet]

@@nordicblood8470 Norm was a dumbass hack

[@benn2026]

His last thing about his teacher was the best

[@AmeenAhmed1105]

Coolest president ever! He's such a great sport; it's great to see a world-renowned leader with a great sense of humor.

[@slimblu1]

I wish we did this in the uk!

[@Monsterdrumma]

This was great!

[@robert4you]

"Mr President, do you remember when the country rallied around you in the hopes of a better tomorrow...? That was hilarious, that was your best one yet."

[@4partmedia]

Meh, mid joke..... Obama did his thing.

[@klhkdkk2568]

Although Colbert is still my guy, this speech is HILARIOUS.

[@Alex-qt6um]

This guy's sense of humor is so good! His jokes have so much truth!

[@ef5686]

Jimmy looks sooo nervous; he didnt even shake the President's hand...

[@calebmarr2665]

Oh nah. He killed this 😂😂😂

[@manue3l1976]

Jimmy killed it great performance

[@aaronrodgers77]

As a dude from Jersey, I was diggin' dose Christie jokes

[@nicomurder]

MUCH GAINED RESPECT FOR JIMMY KIMMEL!

[@itwasagoodideaatthetime7980]

*Jimmy Kimmel* - "I'm about to high five the President of the United States." *High five's Obama* "Eat it Mr Mills!" Best up yours speech ever.

[@MrMarkpark]

Barbara Walters not laughing at the tweet joke was great.

[@mrxxbrian]

+MrMarkpark baba water

[@AllenMQuinn]

She was smirking at it. She and Kimmel get along very well in real life :D But that joke cracked me up

[@projectconfrontation2975]

Could you just imagine Dave Chappelle doing this bit...

[@4partmedia]

I can- he'd have Trumps balls in his mouth the entire time.

[@TheScienceofArt]

Kimmel is awesome. still remember him from KROQ, hes come a long way!

[@CoachingHigher]

"A tweet was something Barbara Walters gave her dog" HAHAHA

[@vincej3882]

He sounds nervous at times, but who wouldn't be performing in front of the president. I like watching him on his own show were he's more relaxed

[@SumitRoy]

Only in United states.. you can get away with such a roast. sitting just next to the president

[@ShadowBox112]

Sumit Roy that's the advantages of living in a free country

[@ozankarakoc1778]

Try that in Turkey and in the second minute or so, you guarantee spending the rest of your life in prison. As a bonus, the following day, media will call you a traitor and somehow a member of an armed terrorist organization, and at least half of the population starts to believe that you deserved it. Do you know what the worst and the most disappointing part of this is story? The Erdogan regime is the direct result of U.S.'s 'Greater Middle East Initiative'.

[@rogerkondrat9503]

As a Canadian, I can just watch and understand only a majority of the jokes, not all of them, but it really seemed like it took shots at everyone. I liked that, it's good for him to be at an event like that and be hard or easy on all sides equally. Did anyone else feel that way?

[@BrianPeloso-ln4ry]

🇨🇦🙏

[@elliots.3839]

One thing... why are people against free healthcare??? Holy shit, free is good

[@dakiblabla]

It's one thing to oppose gay marriage, it's another thing altogether to do it in a sweater vest. Kimmel's best joke as far as I'm concerned.

[@SalteeMAN]

I can't believe he did a 30 minute roast. That is skill.

[@stoyanski]

Jimmy really killed it!

[@dougcris09]

Hey Mr. President, remember when the country rallied around you in hopes of a better tomorrow ?... that was hilarious. OMG My stomach hurt on that one lmaoooo

[@13tapioca]

[@0zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz]

hey genius this was uploaded in 2012. He is talking about the 2012 boston marathon. The bombing occurred at the 2013 boston marathon.

[@Rennyblue]

For someone who have been doing a talk show for a long time, I'm surprised he's abit nervous, he nailed it nevertheless.

[@iMaDeMoN2012]

I love the Bill Maher comment.

[@tschagii]

so great :D

[@latinadoll74]

TSSlavikut- There's been a Boston Marathon every year. It's a well known race. That's why he referred to that marathon. It has nothing to do with the bombing..

[@harhainen]

haha.. that would be overkill :)

[@soanis6362]

notice how the camera doesn't show Obama at all during Kimmel's consecutive jokes regarding the secret service...we wouldn't want our president to be seen worldwide smirking at that, would we?

Can someone please explain to me the beef against Keith Olberman?
