The headliner of the White House Correspondents Dinner praised President Obama, saying she now understood what past performers felt following the leader of the free world.

Saturday Night Live star Cecily Strong joked about the President’s performance following Saturday night’s event, saying, “I was kind of like, oh, that was really good, wasn’t it? They’re really liking him.”

“I think he always does very well,” she said. “Especially in that world, when he’s making a speech and being funny, that’s what he does really, really well.”
