The 2015 White House Correspondents Dinner was held this past Saturday night, April 25, with host Cecily Strong. The Saturday Night Live star took the to podium after President Barack Obama delivered his usual hilarious speech. Of course, this year is a bit different considering he'll soon be out of the presidential seat. Regardless, Strong took to her gig as the host of the Correspondents Dinner with nothing but crafty jokes directed at the very individuals in the room. And of course, she tackled some serious subjects such as Hillary Clinton, ISIS and the surge in police brutality.

Immediately after taking to the podium, Strong kicked off her speech on a high note with, "Feels right to have a woman follow President Obama, doesn't it?"

What followed was nearly 23 minutes of jokes about the Democratic Party, the Republican presidential candidates, the no-name Democratic candidates who may or may not run – though Strong seemed to think it was pointless considering Hillary Clinton's recent announcement – and tougher subjects such as the Charlie Hebdo tragedy and the current police problem President Obama has been having, such as Walter Scott, Eric Garner and Michael Brown.

Take a look at Cecily Strong's White House Correspondents Speech below:

And while the night appeared to be littered with jokes, perhaps our favorite would be Strong's jab at the President's white hair, saying it is now so white it can talk back to police.

Oh yeah, and she did look great, didn't she?

*You'll only get that if you actually watched the video, folks.
