"Roasted! Joel McHale didn&amp;apos;t hold anything back when he headlined the White House Correspondents&amp;apos; Dinner at the Washington Hilton Hotel on Saturday, May 3. Taking center stage after President Obama&amp;apos;s joke-filled speech to the audience of politicians, press, and celebrity guests, the Community star unleashed a barrage of edgy zingers skewering everyone from the Commander-in-Chief and CNN to Jessica Simpson and even the Kardashians.\r\nWhen he was announced as the host of the 2014 event back in February, McHale promised his material would be &amp;quot;equally offensive to all &amp;amp; over within 30 min&amp;#x2014;just like a Congressional work year.&amp;quot; So did he succeed in his endeavor? Judge for yourself! Here&amp;apos;s a roundup of some of his best and most biting one-liners.\r\n\r\nOn President Obama&amp;apos;s legacy: &amp;quot;I&amp;apos;m a big fan of President Obama. I think he&amp;apos;s one of the all-time great presidents. Definitely among the top 50. Somebody please explain that to Jessica Simpson.&amp;quot;\r\nOn being tapped to host this year&amp;apos;s dinner: &amp;quot;I&amp;apos;d also like to thank the White House Correspondents&amp;apos; Association for having me. And for not being able to book Jimmy Fallon.&amp;quot;\r\nOn his speech: &amp;quot;This will be short and sweet, just like Chris Christie&amp;apos;s presidential bid.&amp;quot; (There were lots of other jokes about Christie later in the speech, too, including jabs at his size and the infamous Bridgegate scandal.)\r\n\r\nOn the 2016 election: &amp;quot;People are asking, &amp;apos;Will Donald Trump run again?&amp;apos; And the answer is, &amp;apos;Does that thing on his head crap in the woods?&amp;apos;&amp;quot;\r\nOn the Kardashians: &amp;quot;I know the Kardashians are Republicans, because they&amp;apos;re always trying to screw black people.&amp;quot;\r\nOn the President&amp;apos;s critics: &amp;quot;Mr. President, your critics have compared you to Hitler and Stalin, but that&amp;apos;s ridiculous. You look way older than them.&amp;quot;\r\nOn the President&amp;apos;s health: &amp;quot;Every year, the White House doctor checks the President&amp;apos;s colon for polyps&amp;#x2014;and George Clooney&amp;apos;s head.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nOn healthcare.gov: &amp;quot;Now, over 8 million people have signed up for Obamacare, which is impressive until you realize that Ashley Tisdale has 12 million Twitter followers.&amp;quot; (He also said the launch of the site was so bad that people now use it to describe other bad things. &amp;quot;I shouldn&amp;apos;t have eaten that sushi. I was up all night healthcare.goving.&amp;quot;)\r\nOn the media: &amp;quot;MSNBC is a confusing place. I mean, Al Sharpton is their skinny guy! And CNN is desperately searching for something it&amp;apos;s been missing for months&amp;#x2014;their dignity.&amp;quot; Of Fox News, he added: &amp;quot;Bill O&amp;apos;Reilly, Megyn Kelly, and Sean Hannity are the Mount Rushmore of keeping old people angry.&amp;quot;\r\nOn the link between Hollywood and Washington: &amp;quot;Hollywood helps America by projecting a heroic image to the rest of the world. We just released a new movie about Captain America, or as he&amp;apos;s known in China, Captain Who Owes Us 1.1 Trillion Dollars.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nOn the celebs at the WHCD: &amp;quot;There are a lot of celebrities here. They&amp;apos;re the ones who don&amp;apos;t look like ghouls. Look around.&amp;quot;\r\nOn America&amp;apos;s &amp;quot;big problems&amp;quot;: &amp;quot;What&amp;apos;s our biggest concern as Americans? TV show spoilers. In other countries, spoilers mean, &amp;apos;Hey, i haven&amp;apos;t been back to the village for a while. Don&amp;apos;t tell me who died in the drone strike.&amp;apos;&amp;quot; (He added, immediately after, &amp;quot;Sorry about that.&amp;quot;)\r\nOn Robert DeNiro: &amp;quot;Robert DeNiro is here tonight. I don&amp;apos;t do an impression of Robert DeNiro, but I do an impression of Robert DeNiro&amp;apos;s agent. &amp;apos;Ring ring. He&amp;apos;ll do it!&amp;apos;&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
