Community star Joel McHale was the chosen emcee at this year's annual White
House Correspondents' Dinner in Washington, D.C., and it's safe to say he didn't hold back at Saturday night's festivities!

Among the biting jokes?

A particularly memorable dig at the Kardashians, whom the Talk Soup host called out for being his fellow E! network stars.

"E! is also home to the Kardashians, who believe it or not, are Republican," he said. "And I know that because they're always trying to screw black people."

Ouch.

Of course, not even the President was safe from McHale's edgy humor.

"I'm a big fan of President Obama. I think he's one of the all-time great presidents ... definitely in the top 50," he joked. "Please explain that to Jessica Simpson."

... Though even he seemed to recognize the joke's cringe-worthiness.

"You're right, that was low," he immediately mused.

Stars in attendees Saturday night included Sofia Vergara, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Lupita Nyong'o, Scandal's Tony Goldwyn and more.
