Bill rosenthal its so great to have you here with us tonight. You do have a history which well get to with the white house Correspondents Dinner and a second. But let me just ask, you know, what are you most looking forward to watching tonight . What a night . I love that. Colin jost is doing this. His jokes are always fantastic on snl and i think President Biden is going to be fantastic. I love a president who has a sense of humor dont we all isnt that so helpful . I do have a question for you. Do you have any tips for his Speech Writers and for the president as to, you know, what he should he should say, like what the joke should be like the jokes i know are going to be good as you know, ive worked on a couple of these and i find that if youre a little bit selfdeprecating and you can make fun of yourself. That always makes all the other jokes go down easier. Look in that true in life. I mean, theres no better humerus selfdeprecating humor some of us have more of an opportunity for that. You worked on. If i remember correctly, the one i remember is bill clintons last video, right . Whats it like to work with a president on . Comedy . Or they totally psyched to be told what to do yes, in that case that this was i wrote jokes for him for all eight years of the white house Correspondents Dinner my friend mark katz was their goto human person at the white house, and he brought me in as i was running raymond and i always wanted to do a Funny Snl Type of video with the president and they said that he doesnt have time to make one of these videos. Hes the president until his last year. And then he had time and so the video was all about President Clinton having too much free time in his last year and if you want to see this, its on youtube, its called President Clinton the final days. And he is fantastic. He was really funny all right. Lets listen to there it is. Its on the screen right there. We have sound of this can be listening. Now its just video. All right back in the day, you will remember that if you were as old as john and i brought me in, they brought me into direct the president that was really cool. I i you know, if you tell the most powerful man in the world what to do and he does it doesnt that make you the most powerful man in the world . Good when i watch that, she said, pick up yourself the man who directs the leader of the free world. Listen just very quickly filled anything you have to be careful of if youre the comedian doing the roast, anything you shouldnt joke about any third rail you know, good taste is always good, but, but i think politics are fair game, right . And of course theres going to be the requisite jokes that we all expect the bravest act of comedy. I think i ever saw in my life of any kind was steven comb layer, Stephen Colbert where at the george w Correspondents Dinner. Well, that was he was he was tough on him then and that was remembered for being top. And again, it can go it can go all those different directions. Listen to fill. Its great to see you in person at love your war. A big fan of everything you do. And its even better than i know how power you are now. Thanks so much. Have a great night. Theyll be calling you up every some lines by the way, we need to oneliners. We didnt even think of it, but now that we know that we can get in touch with you, were going to call you back.
