I thoroughly enjoyed the evening! President Biden is very much on top of his game and a great sense of humor! Great timing delivering jokes also.

Colin Jost was great ! The Democratic campaign is beginning to address “ the Donald” straight on and I think the timing is well thought out.

Wonderful drawings, thanks so much!

Love the way you catch the folks who do the hard work at shindigs like this: bringing in the food! Everyone matters.

I’m dying to see the server carrying all those dinners captioned! I think I know what I’d have him say, but… I think it’s more fun to hear your caption. 😀

And Colin Jost was AWESOME!! The NYT/WaPo are just nursing their bruised egos because Stern got Biden and they… didn’t.

Saw Biden's remarks this morning, and thought they were funny and on target. Same with Jost's. Still, neither of them have the comic delivery of Barack Obama.

I did not watch and just made it through only 11 minutes of the monologue video. I did not want to watch anymore, which is not a good feeling when watching a comedian. In my book, he was not that funny. A good line here and there. Maybe too truthful to be actually humorous it seemed to me. And too much about Trump. Roast the President not the past President. I think he gets press when he should not. Ignore him if you really want to annoy him.

I hear you, humor is subjective. I have grown to like him.

I fear that ignoring Trump is a dangerous idea, though. It's a tough thing because he should not get press, but then he is a menace.

We watched the event - it was more interesting than I thought it might be. Biden was very good. Colin Jost had some good lines, but I thought he was taking the temperature of the room too much - seemed almost too self-aware.
