One of my favorite press corps dinner moments of all time was when Obama said, "Donald trump says he's running as a republican. I thought he was running as a joke." The joke itself was marginally funny, but the look on trump's face was priceless. Obama has some comedy skills, no doubt.

I loved when he was like "You asked for my birth certificate, but I'm going to do you one better. My birth VIDEO." And then it was the opening scene of the Lion King when they were presenting Simba to all the animals. That whole event was awesome. Unrelated, but Seth Myers KILLED it.
