Here Are Cecily Strong’s Best Jokes From The White House Correspondents Dinner

Cecily Strong was the host of last night’s White House Correspondents Dinner. Following in the footsteps of comedians like Joel McHale, Conan O’Brien, and Stephen Colbert, the current Saturday Night Live cast-member held her own and delivered a slew of jokes that covered all sorts of subject matter from America’s current cultural and political landscape.

The above video is roughly 23-minutes long, but since we know your time is precious, here’s 10 of Cecily Strong’s best bits from the event:

“I took Amtrak here. It was way more luxurious than I thought. Did you know they have massage seats on there? All you have to do is sit in front of Joe Biden. Those hands don’t get tired.”

“Just because I’m a woman doesn’t mean I’m going to go easy on you people. I’m going to go easy on you people because my brain is smaller.”

“Since I’m only a comedian, I’m not going try to tell you politicians how to do politics. That’d be like you guys trying to tell me what to do with my body. Can you imagine?”

“Tonight’s event is being broadcast on C-Span, so to some of tonight’s viewers watching alone on C-Span, hello. But to most of tonight’s viewers at home alone tonight, meow.”

“It’s great to be here at the Washington Hilton…is something a prostitute might say to a congressman. I bet when the president walked in tonight and saw the bell hops, he probably thought, ‘Finally, some decent security.’”

“I don’t want to be too hard on those guys [the Secret Service], because they’re the only law enforcement agency in the country that will get in trouble if a black man gets shot.”

“Fox News is all hot blonde ladies and old dudes. Every show looks like a party scene from Weekend at Bernie’s.

“Fox News is losing some viewers, and may they rest in peace.”

“What can I say about Brian Williams…. Nothing, because I work for NBC.”

“Mr. President, thank you for taking time off of Jimmy Fallon’s show to be here. Your hair is so white now, it can talk back to police.”

And…mic drop.
