What do Kim Kardashian, Hillary Clinton and the US Secret Service all have in common – they were all targets of Barack Obama's humour at a White House gala.

Taking to the podium at the annual Correspondents' Dinner in Washington, POTUS – to give him his presidential acronym – was on cracking form.In a skit recorded recorded backstage, he was heard asking: "What am I doing here? I'm opening for (presenter) Jimmy Kimmel and telling knock-knock jokes to Kim Kardashian. Why is she famous anyway?".

Then, appearing before the star-studded audience, Barack smiled cheekily and said: "Thank you all for taking a break in your schedule of not passing any laws to be here tonight." The guests – including George Clooney, Kim Kardashian and Eva Longoria – were shaking with laughter at his comedy routine. And his wife Michelle – dazzling in a multi coloured print gown from Naeem Khan – also sat giggling from a nearby table.
