Jimmy Kimmel's Hiliarious Performance Leaves the White House in Stitches

Back when President Obama was in office, funnyman Jimmy Kimmel was invited to host the annual correspondent’s dinner. He left no guest unroasted, and no topic untouched.

So much has changed in the last 7 years, it’s fascinating to look back and what the political climate was during the year 2012. President Obama was in the White House, and Jimmy Kimmel had yet to go grey.

Most of his jokes were at the expense of attendees of the event, who good-naturedly laughed as he lampooned everyone from Governor Chris Christie to actor George Clooney.
