@@martinwhalley3286 Yeah but this is like Trevor Noah. Great comic, also got to headline at Correspondent's but not as pop as Ricky Gervais (all hail Ricky! 😉) or Chris Rock or Maz Jobrani.
I really think that Joel McHale will be an Heir to one of the Late Night seats. He was astonishingly good on "The Soup". When I discovered it, I wished that I had known about it sooner. When it got canceled, I removed E! from my Channel List.
Mchale killed it. I dont know what these non sense of humor people in the ximments are talking about. Props to Chris Christie for not taking it seriously. He even laughed at most of it.
@@michaelrotch9773 you absolutely cannot blame Community for Yahoo! Screen's demise. Yahoo tried to take on Netflix/Hulu/Amazon but they were already too far ahead. If anything, Yahoo's acquisition of Community saved it from dying - for a short while. Yahoo had many other problems: it was browser based, much of its content was geo-restricted (meaning content wasn't released simultaneously in different countries), and it also had problems with advertisers. Yahoo Screen was a sinking ship and Community just happened to be on board when it went under.
I worked on a photo shoot in Topanga in a rustic cabin type home and he got lost & I found him it was so funny. He is super tall very nice and witty, everybody loved him~!
That drone strike joke was brutal as hell, Joel pissed off a lots powerful people that night NBC canceled his show Community right after, yahoo did picked it up for another season tho
I highly doubt that community was cancelled because Joel told some jokes at a party. Stephen Colbert did same and he did fine. No one even knew about community when it was airing, I started watching it after it got cancelled, most probably it was the rating. Do you have any links to back it up
from NZ - great to hear great & serious comments -to me, it shows an an adult & appreciative attitude to "send up" humour. Well done Ameican journalism!
My top three white house correspondent comedians are Joel McHale, Jimmy Kimmel and Seth Meyers (in no particular order), I usually enjoy all the other ones too but just saying these are my favourites
I don't get all the people saying Joel wasn't hard enough on the politicians. Sure he made a little too many Chris Christie fat jokes, and some celebrity jokes which i'd let past since it lets the politicians laugh together for a little while(some good bipartisan laughter if you will), but honestly he was one of the hardest on the politicians second only to Stephen Colbert. If you watch any of these other comedians doing the correspondence dinners it sounds like all their bits went over review by the people they "joke" about or that'd be on some late night show too scared to offend anyone in fear of losing some viewers. Could he have gone harder, sure, but i think he had a nice balance of keeping people entertained and not turning against him but still bring up important issues that remind us of what hasn't been and needs to be done by our politicians. Things like marriage equality, our drone strike program, racism, the after effect of war in the countries we invaded, the deficit and so much more, i think he did a good job of putting them on the spot.
Thumbs up! Good points. Helped me reconsider Joel's comments from another point of view. But something was off. What? I've watched all the correspondents dinner comedians. I think this guys problem was not ever getting audience to laugh WITH him. All the laughter seemed fueled by groans. That made this comedian a little painful to watch. In addition his delivery wasn't engaging. It felt like he was reading a list of jokes. Each more painful than the last. I'm a hardcore progressive, bleeding heart liberal, old school Democrat. Joel definitely skewered the pols and news folks I abhor. But I want to "enjoy" the proceedings. Laugh at, and with, the other side. I groaned and winced until the end of Joel's set. Ouch...ouch...ouch. But I loved noticing that the youngest folks in the audience, no matter what table, seemed to laugh riotously. That told me, an oldster, I'm probably a little out of touch with Joel's caustic wit. I loved Stephen Colbert best. He gets you on his side no matter how much "acid" wit he spews. Colbert is smart. He comes off as brilliant. Joel came off as a smarty-pants.
Anjani I see where you're coming from. I wouldn't say Joel McHale is as much a "smarty-pants" than he is a comedian who is at his best when he deals in semi-ironic remarks about pop-culture (like the show that he hosts "The Soup," which is pretty much one of the few watchable programs on the E channel). I wouldn't worry so much about being an "oldster" because I don't think you're unaware of the comedy on display here. What I want to know is who booked McHale to this kind of event. What made Colbert's stand up work was that he was a comic who focused on political events whereas Mchale get's his shtick from reality shows and tabloid blunders. He just wasn't the right guy for this job. From one bleeding-heart liberal to another, all I can say is please don't judge him off of this one video, he's a very funny guy (albeit very snarky) and a pretty good actor.
Here is a friendly guide to the WHCD (Obama and Trump era): 2009: Wanda Sykes. Pretty vanilla, but cool. Obama could do no wrong at this point. Rush Limbaugh jokes rocked. 5/10 2010: Jay Leno. Sucked. Will not be missed. Nobody cares about Leno any more. 2/10 2011: Seth Myers. Did a good job. On point. Good Trump roast that ultimately made Trump run for president, I bet. 7.5/10 2012: Jimmy Kimmel. Nothing special. About as agressive as his show. 5/10 2013: Conan O'Brien. Like Kimmel, but with a bite. 7/10 2014: Joel McHale. Totally underrated. Youthful. Love how he shows the audience their hypocrisy. 9/10 2015: Cecily Strong. Gets a bad rap, basically because she's a woman. Kinda blew it with the Aaron Shock jokes. 6.5/10 2016: Larry Wilmore. I think he totally rocked the show. Made everybody feel extremely uncomfortable. 8.5/10 2017: Hasan Minhaj. Did a great job. Spoke truth to power. Standing ovation well-earned. 9/10 2018: Michelle Wolf. The lady who broke the WHCD. Spoke the explosive truth and took the whole thing down with her. Her delivery sucked at times, unfortunately. 8/10 Earlier WHCDs: Watch Craig Ferguson (2008) and Stephen Colbert (2006). Ferguson did a nice job of giving a "foreign" perspective on the U.S., while not being a total Democrat dickhead about it. Colbert was simply legendary. Took the whole Bush administration apart.
+Jack Davy Mexico and the "Central American countries" are also in North America, but the United States of America is the only country with "America" in it's name.... so by default the title "American" belongs to the U.S.. Also, try calling a Canadian an "American" and see how much they enjoy it. I'm sure they'll say "sorry" after they knock your teeth out with a hockey stick :P
20:30 here we go, Winger speech to take us home
I was thinking exactly that when he started wrapping it up
What is the point of hiring a comedian for these people? They don't know how to laugh. Sour faced prunes.

The way he rides the crowd reactions is mad clever
Joel McHale is witty and has a perfect timing and delivery. He is highly underrated. He is the white Dave Chapelle.
@@nikkibeacth Agreed
"Now just the men!"
This is one Ludwig Goransson song away from being a Jeff Winger speech.
Joel McHale, one of the most exhilarating comic in the world and yet so underrated...dude deserves some more recognition...
He is at the Press dinner with the President. That's recognition! Jimmy Kimmel is still a couple years from his turn it this podium

Joel McHale's lack of giving a single f*** made this the best one ever.
Holy crap, I'm watching C-Span
this is probably the most underrated correspondents' performances IMO
I love the shot of the secret service agent at 14:58 , trying to keep a straight face as McHale makes jokes dissing the Secret Service.
Did you see the screen shot of Jessica Simpson?
It is January 3, 2016, and nearly everything Joel McHale talks about in this speech is still in the news... oh boy.
Thought the same thing
You are absolutely right
It's April 29th, 2018. It's still relevant. haha
Oh you sweet early 2016 summer child. Back in the days
jan 2nd, 2020 still relevant
He got the word 'pussyriot' into a speech at the white house correspondents. God bless you Joel
Mchale killed it. I dont know what these non sense of humor people in the ximments are talking about. Props to Chris Christie for not taking it seriously. He even laughed at most of it.
Lol Christie was used to it by that point. O’Brien did it the year before and I’m guessing others had before him like on SNL
I would say he brought it 75%, but that is hitting it harder than pretty much anyone else before him at these dinners.
He was very, very good. It was one of the more cutting performances at a White House Correspondents' Dinner.
This is still my favorite WHCD speech. The groans on some of the jokes make them funnier.
The Robert De Niro’s Agent impression was too good.
We will bring Community back, with or without NBC
How'd that go over
@@michaelrotch9773 yahoo brought it back i think
@@michaelrotch9773 it "went over" very well. Yahoo brought it back for a 6th season after NBC cancelled it.

Joel was hilarious, but that joke had me crying with laughter.
that was the most clever joke of all
2016 watching this and it's pretty damn good. love joel
I lost it at the Kardashian's joke xD omg
This is literally the first time I'm seeing Joel McHale the person after seeing "Joel McHale" in the credits for years
Joel McHale is more Jeff Winger than Jeff Winger
Fantastic. I didn't know Joel McHale was that funny.
What is the point of hiring a comedian for these people? They don't know how to laugh. Sour faced prunes.
I know I am 7 years late but you should watch Community.
I worked on a photo shoot in Topanga in a rustic cabin type home and he got lost & I found him it was so funny. He is super tall very nice and witty, everybody loved him~!
They should get Seth Macfarlane to do one of these.
With a 10 foot barge pole
It's 4 years later in 2018 and I still have not seen anybody better than Joel!
I really liked Conan O'Brian's performance as well lol🙂
I like him. I hope they'll ask Ricky Gervais one day.
Now that would be EPIC!!!
+blanchetv yes it would!
You must be an American Citizen to be invited!..
@@blanchetv It was. Repeatedly. Well, at least at the Oscars. Pretty much the same room.
Stephen Colbert has upped the bar on these dinners so obviously no one can beat him or even come close, but Joel was definitely entertaining.
I'm convinced Wolf Blitzer is a robot, a cyborg or something.
It Gets So Hard To Breathe Down Here snl just did a sketch on this for CNN. It was Jake taper and Anderson Cooper

Joel's satire was biting but intellectual and funny.

He was brought by a Republican congressman. I don't remember who the guy is but they go hunting together and know each other well lol

Wow. This is really good.
Dude, if I don't read your comment, I would not even realize Leno hosted this event...
So aside from making jokes about Chris Christie, did he actually make any jokes about politicians who were more than deserving of criticism
Boehner? Rob Ford? The deceased audience?
actually very underrated, I'm glad i decided to click
The DeNiro joke was absolutely savage
Can we come back to these times.. plz..
Love Joel McHale. He was great, but he could have gone a little harder on these ass hats.
+Frankincensed YES BUT FREEDOM OF SPEECH IS BEING SERIOUSLY ERODED BY OBUM.
Only one willing to go further was colbert
Wilson Ball no kidding
Joel McHale killed it. Loved Wanda Sykes's aswell. Her Rush Limbaugh joke is a classic.
Oh wow! I'm searching for that!
Wanda was awesome and doing it in her style...both know how to use the empty spaces...pausing. both were my favs, too❤
Joel Mchale is a fucking treasure him not being more famous is a crime man.
I am stuck watching ALL White House Correspondents'...dude Joel killing it! LMAO

who is the person with his mouth open at 15:48 ??

“ A bag of flour with Ronald Reagan’s face painted on it” does sound like a description of Donald Trump

Checkout the 22min 48sec ''Craig Ferguson at the Annual White House Correspondent's Din'' ~ yep. That's THE title !!! [ by C-SPAN ]
I like the ending, that's true.
Pro-tip when you're being ripped on, if you can't or don't laugh with it, it's a bad sign that maybe what's being said is true.
The last good one.
6:45 tell that now...
The Secret Service guy is the best.
The guy host the soup ,what do you expect? He never did stand until about 7 years ago. He killed.
So *THIS* is when America was great.
20:27 jill scott?
Peace, love, McHale
Why does everyone always remark about C-SPAN
Holy shit had no idea this man was in the white house. What an honor
His Chris Christie jokes seem timeless and relevant 10 years later
