At the White House Correspondents Dinner on Saturday, 'SNL' comedian Seth Meyers took aim at Donald Trump, as well as President Obama and Sarah Palin.Some people can take a joke and some people can't.
Donald Trump clearly falls in the latter category.
The "Apprentice" host, who plans to run for president in 2012, was the butt of quite a few cracks from "Saturday Night Live" head writer Seth Meyers -- who also poked fun of President Barack Obama, Sarah Palin and Katie Couric -- at the White House Correspondents Dinner on Saturday night in Washington, D.C.
"Donald Trump has been saying that he will run for president as a Republican," said Meyers. Which is surprising because I just assumed he was running as a joke."
When the camera cut to the tycoon, he just sat there stoically.
And of course, there had to be one about Trump's infamous comb-over.
"Donald Trump often appears on Fox, which is ironic because a fox often appears on Donald Trump's head," Meyers continued.
Again, no reaction from Trump, as those around him tried to stifle their laughter.
Even the president wasn't safe from Meyers.
The comedian especially picked on Obama's salt and pepper hair.
"When you were sworn in you looked like the guy from the Old Spice commercials," he said. "Now you look like Louis Gossett Sr."
As for Sarah Palin, Meyers quipped about the former beauty queen-turned-politician: "Donald Trump owns the Miss USA pageant, which is great for Republicans because it will streamline their search for vice president."
Palin was also part of the joke on Katie Couric, who recently announced she was leaving "CBS Evening News."
One of the anchor's most notable interviews was with Palin in 2008, in which she pressured her to list her reading materials.
Cracked Meyers: "Katie was known best for asking those tough questions, like 'name a newspaper.'"
