Hasan Minhaj Takes on Trump, Media

"The Daily Show" correspondent Hasan Minhaj's roast of President Donald Trump Saturday at the White House Correspondent’s Dinner got some giggles and groans.

Among his jokes:

• "Now that a professional wrestler is our president, anything is possible."
• "Betsy DeVos couldn’t be here. She’s busy curating her collection of children’s tears."
• "We’ve got to address the elephant that’s not in the room. The leader of our country is not here. And that’s because he lives in Moscow."
• "Historically the president usually performs at the WHCD, but I think I speak for all of us when I say, he's done far too much bombing this month."
• "Donald Trump doesn’t drink. He does not touch alcohol, which is oddly respectable. But think about that. That means every statement, every interview, every tweet – completely sober. How is that possible."
• "Even if you guys groan, I've already hired Kellyanne Conway. She's going to go on TV Monday and tell everyone I killed (it)."

He also took on the media and a pollster:

• "MSNBC's here tonight. That way if I'm bombing Brian Williams will describe it as stunning.""
• "I had a lot more MSNBC jokes but I don't want to just ramble on, otherwise I might get a show on MSNBC."
• "CNN is here. ... I'm not going to call you fake news but everything isn't breaking news. You can't go to defcon one because Sanjay Gupta found a new moisturizer."
• "Nate Silver told me that joke would kill. He told me there was a 71.4% chance of that joke killing and I believed you, Nate.
