Hollywood stars and Washington, DC, elites mocked former Fox News host Tucker Carlson at this year’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner on Saturday.
President Joe Biden was one of the speakers who took a shot at Carlson after he parted ways with Fox News this week.
“The truth is, we really have a record to be proud of. Vaccinated the nation, transform the economy, earned historic legislative victories, and midterm results. But the job isn’t finished,” Biden told the crowd of D.C. elites. “I mean, it is finished for Tucker Carlson.”
The crowd audibly groaned at Biden’s joke.
“What are you ‘wooing’ about like that? Like, do you think that’s not reasonable? Give me a break. Give me a break,” Biden added.
Roy Wood Jr., the dinner’s keynote speaker, made several jokes about Carlson.
In one joke, he alluded to Carlson’s former show as being a “fake news program.”
“Scandals have been devouring careers this year. The Untouchable Tucker Carlson is out of a job. Some people celebrate it. But to Tucker’s staff, I want you to know that I know what you’re feeling. I work at The Daily Show. So I, too, have been blindsided by the sudden departure of the host of a fake news program,” Wood Jr. joked.
