Barack Obama’s 2011 White House Correspondents’ Dinner Speech (with Jon Lovett)

Good One: A Podcast About Jokes

20-02-2024 • 1 hr 31 mins

This week on Good One, host Jesse David Fox welcomes Jon Lovett to the pod. Before co-hosting Pod Save America and hosting Lovett or Leave It, Lovett was a speechwriter for Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. And in that role, he was known as the go-to comedy guy. This episode looks back at the first three White House Correspondents’ Dinner speeches Lovett worked on under Obama, as a way to have a conversation about the role of humor in politics.
