Watch Obama and Larry Wilmore from Last Night’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner

As it was President Barack Obama’s last White House Correspondents’ Dinner, he made sure that people were going to remember, among several things, that he was the funniest Commander-in-Chief in recent memory.

A mic drop, and several sharply written and delivered barbs, just the right amount of Trump jokes made for about a solid half hour of stand-up for Obama.

Larry Wilmore, at the start of his set, mentioned the notable task at hand of following President Obama (which has been the case for pretty much every WHCD during Obama’s administration by the way), and worked his way up to a solid finish (that included dropping the N-word, which has to be a C-SPAN first).

However, the current field of presidential hopefuls, when it comes to slinging roast jokes at the WHCD, will probably have a much harder time than Larry trying to follow Obama.
