Mystery solved!

Folks can’t stop buzzing about President Obama’s side-splitting stand-up routine at the White House Correspondent’s Dinner on Saturday night. The chatted-about monologue came complete with a spray of zingy one-liners about the night’s featured headlining comic, Jay Leno, including this one: “Great to see you, Jay. I’m glad I’m speaking first. We’ve all seen what happens when someone takes the time slot after Leno.”

Now we know the secret to the Commander-In-Chief’s ability to tickle our funny bones: Obama staffers hired writers from Comedy Central’s The Daily Show to pen the Prez’s material for the dinner.
