didn't watch, there was a nice play to joe biden, if you watched "hbo series the veep" with julia louis-dreyfus, there' joe biden playing on that, a great play, but this is bide be's part of the dinner and as maggie notes, margaret, the president i think it was three times talks about hillary clinton. we've talked about this the past in a serious context. joe biden's team feels slighted. they feel the political people and party money, is it just a night to laugh or another example that from the president on down they've anointed hillary. >> it all comes together really with the cameo that i walked away from thinking about which is biden throwing his shoe at hillary clinton. if that doesn't say it all i don't know what does. it's not just hillary, it's the tip of the hat by bill by saying my daughter wants to be like you. this is sort of getting things ready and i don't know what they have to look forward to in 2014. they're all playing for the 2016 game now. >> if you look yesterday where clbt clinton and joe biden were while this conversation was up it speaks to the dynamic going forward. joe

how did julia louis-dreyfus become the character?character in politics would give us the most -- the highest number of comic options. we went for the vice president because you can be so powerful in the senate and then you end up with no power but so close to power. we didn't want anyone to think this is about joe biden or al gore or dick cheney. we thought we have to have the funniest comedy actress in america. so we went straight to julia. >> she's perfect. >> we got to hang out with some of he cast members over the weekend. it's not phony. they seem to like each other. she said people don't fight for air time. >> it's an ensemble piece. they were all chosen for their ability to kind of ad-lib. when i'm casting, i get into the script can and ask them to put it to one side and stay in character and fire questions at them. but the other thing is, it has to work like that because, you know, in politics it's a bonker atmosphere. so you have to get along with the people you're locked in the room with. >> it was great. over the weekend a

julia louis-dreyfus and joe biden.while everyone was at dinner, they crashed the white house. let's take a look. >> hello? >> so what are you doing? >> oh, god. i thought you were the president. hey, listen, are you going to this dinner tonight? >> no, i'm not going, man. i've been there once. it is a bunch of politicians trying to explain politics to hollywood. it's not worth it. >> oh. look at joe. he looks hollywood smooth. >> he's been waiting for that moment. >> how was that nerd prom by the way? >> fashion. it is a big fashion night. sofia vergara, when does she look bad on the red caret? she looked stunning. lupita nyong'o wore a polka dot number, stole the show. jessica simpson looked very svelte on the red carpet. and olivia munn was there. i was proud of joel mchale. he made fun of chris christie and then chris christie and chris christie again. >> we heard mixed reviews. >> how did that go over? >> i enjoyed -- maybe because i'm biased a little bit, but i thought joel did a nice job. i felt like the audience

wasn't there live in person but he was there on screen with another famous vice president, julia louis dreyfushis is their version of what it is to be vice president. >> hello? >> selina? what are you doing? >> god, i thought you were the president. hey, listen, are you going to this snore spondents dinner? >> no. it's politics trying to explain politics to hollywood. not worth it. >> exactly. who wants to see david gregory crying in the corner all night? hey, do you want to come and pick me up? yellow? seriously? yellow? >> get in the car. >> oh sh -- this is the west wing. oh, it's locked. >> just check for me. >> no. >> good. >> oh! i'm going to remember that! oh yeah. >> shh shh. >> oh. >> whoa, whoa, whoa. no, no. don't touch the desk. >> okay. >> okay. come on. let's go get something to eat. >> yeah. >> this is good. my granddaughters like the sprinkles. >> like, the sweetest thing you can get in the executive branch. >> hey, guys. what are you doing? >> nothing. >> what's in your mouth? >> carrots. >> hey, don't talk. >> haven't you guys listened to anything i said about healthy eating?

julia louis-dreyfus was naked last time. >> they're not naked, though. naked means you're naked. they're covered up. he's wearing only a bow tie as you can see. >> yeah. >> talks about coming out and says he believes that -- >> we don't have that one. >> you don't have that one. okay. >> he says coming out helped his career rather than hurt it. he has a huge straight guy following because he played that barney guy all those years on "how i met your mother." he's a terrific actor. he can play anything. >> by the way, it's so funny. because if someone else would have done that exact cover with a top hat covering that strategic part, a lot of people would have been like oh, my god, what are they doing? because it's neil patrick harris it's like the cutest thing ever. i'm sorry. there's something about him that he can do no wrong. >> i agree. there are certain people who just get away with it. he's just lovable. >> yes. and he is among them. so oprah winfrey, by the way, you know, she's got her own network and all that stuff. own. and you wonder how did someone start out? what were t

going to say it right here at this hour, the team are big fans of the hbo show "veep" with julia louis-dreyfusn quite the hit, also a monster on youtube. >> those of us not cool enough to get an invite to the dinner, we saw it on youtube. let's take a look now. >> i'm going to remember that. oh, yeah. okay. ha! >> whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, no, no, don't touch the desk, don't touch the desk. >> okay. >> come on, let's get out here and get something to eat. >> yeah. >> this is good. my granddaughters like the sprinkles. >> this is like the sweetest thing you can get in the executive branch. >> hey, guys. what are you doing? >> nothing. >> what's in your mouth? >> carrots. >> all right, so this clip, funny with a capital "f." by the way, a letter you hear a lot on the show either sunday night. armando is the creator of this show. he joins us right now. we're honored, honestly, to have you here with us. it's a delight to say. one of the things you hear in washington is they always compare people to character, in the show. >> yes. >> these are awful, horrible people in the show. what does it say to y

he also featured in this video with julia louis-dreyfus, a veep takeoff that was very funny.ome really harsh lines from joel mchale, the median that came after the president and the president is making jokes of the inevitably of hillary clinton. probably didn't feel too good for joe biden. >> joel called me the skinny man at msnbc. that wasn't harsh at all. but margie, krystal talked about the glitch. there was one technical glitch with one of his jokes. watch this. >> george w. bush took up painting after he left office which inspired me to take up my own artistic side. i'm sure we've got a shot of this. maybe not. the joke doesn't work without the slide. oh, well. assume that it was funny. >> that was the one glitch. that's the picture that didn't come off. the first lady was supposed to be holding up what the president would have allegedly have done. i don't think so. but that was the joke that we missed sitting there that night, marge. >> that's a good one. look, again, it sort of -- i mean, that's a joke that makes him look good and makes former president bush look good.

the videos at the beginning of the speech, that video with julia louis-dreyfus and vice president bidento go over pretty well. >> i have a few names for that list. >> okay. >> i thing the white house correspondents' association we've never had a female comedian do this dinner, maybe next year, tina fey, amy poehler or mindy kaling. >> ellen degeneres. >> would be fantastic. >> i know that obviously you're watching, we're talking about what's funny and what wasn't. was there something that sort of struck you. >> there was some truth to what was going on there that night. because i actually got a call from wolf blitzer. wolf said, can you help me find my table? and i thought, you know, maybe i can help him. i looked over at who was with me. i was looking for our table, actually. but i was in washington, d.c. up at the north route. so i was with the ambassador from bangladesh looking for it up there. i told him we probably won't be able to help him. >> we know wolf didn't really call you. >> right. >> playing off the joke about trying to find a table, trying to find the plane. what about t

correspondents dinner over the weekend, showing vice president joe biden with hbo's "veep" star julia louis-dreyfuse driving in and around a yellow corvette, binged on ice cream and got tattoos. that was quite a night for the two of them. the truth is that the vice president actually missed the correspondents dinner because he was in miami. that's where he was giving a commencement address to the 2,000 graduating students at miami-dade college. it was during that 17-minute speech when biden called for immigration reform. when he did that, this happened. >> the immigrant community represents something special we never talk about. >> stop -- >> we'll do that too kid but let me finish my speech. >> that comment from biden is getting all sorts of scrutiny. because if he literally meant what he said, then it's a huge development. again, when he was asked to stop deportations by that person from the crowd, biden said, yup, we'll do that, just let me finish what i'm saying, kid. now, sure, he might have just been saying whatever came to his mind to quiet the heckler down and move on with the speech. that

writer of "veep," he actually wrote that whole white house correspondents dinner spoof with julia louis-dreyfus and joe biden. got a tip on that, but he's a great guy. he's really got his finger on the pulse of d.c. and he's british. >> and he's british! >> who'd have thunk. >> from a crumbling empire. >> crumbles. >> hey, if it's way too early, mark halperin, what time is it? >> it is "morning joe." right now stay tuned for mr. charles todd. >> i love charles, he's in charge. >>> gone to carolina in my mind. vulnerable democrat kay hagan could find out today who's her midterm matchup. will the gop establishment prevail or will a last-minute house call force a senate primary runoff? >>> plus, more heat and drought. more superstorms and floods. more damage and more money to fix it. those are the daunting headlines of a new climate report from the white house this morning. we'll talk to white house counselor john pedesta about what action the white house should be expected to do. >>> and ohio may brag about being home to the most presidents, but why hasn't there been one from there in nearly a ce

vice president joe biden appears to be getting a tattoo alongside counterpart salinas, aka julia louis-dreyfus"veep." >>> we know president obama got most of the laughs. bill plante was in the audience and he has more from the white house. good morning. >> good morning. this is the 100th anniversary of the correspondents' dinner. i can tell you this. back when correspondents covered this, they would be amazed, maybe even appalled if they could see it now. >> i admit it. last year was rough. sheesh. >> it's a springtime ritual where for one night the commander in chief becomes a comedian in chief. >> my fellow democrats really don't want me campaigning with them. and i don't think that's true. although i did notice the other day that sasha needed a speaker at career day, and she invited bill clinton. >> the president poked fun at himself but also took a few shots across the aisle, jack house speaker john boehner for his ever present tan. >> these days the house republicans actually give john boehner a harder time than they give me, which means orange really is the new black. >> reporter: obamac

joe biden teams up with hbo's veep julia louis dreyfus, seemingly taking 2016 out for a spin.g the white house kitchen. >> what's in your mouth? >> carrots. >> reporter: and running into nancy pelosi before getting matchi ining tattoos. onstage, president obama plafly dropped his own subtle hints, with a little love for hillary, which may not sit well with biden supporters. >> let's face it, you'll miss me when i'm gone. it will be harder to convince the american people that hillary was born in kenya. >> reporter: not to be forgotten, new jersey governor chris christie, a frequent target for the night's host, comedian joel mchale. >> governor, do you want bridge jokes or size jokes? because i've got both. i can go half and half. i know you like a combo platter. >> reporter: christie and mchale apparently made up at an afterparty hours later. governor christie was a good sport. he bore the brunt of a bunch of jokes saturday night. there was one president obama punchline that didn't go exactly as planned. think of this as the joke that america missed. here's what happened saturd

this out julia louis tries -- dreyfus. >> that makes no sense. >> and give a cap. >> i got my just. and this hair. thanks a million. >> i also love that. the vice president and president obama are powerless when it comes to being in the driver seat. megan hughes is here to explain. i don't have a drivers license. i am kind of like congress right now. why can't they drive? what is the security issue? one to become president or vice president come your keys are gone, effectively. secret service agents are trained in defensive driving. this is something they have been very strict about since the jfk assassination. we see the entourage of vehicles all the time. gm cadillac limo known as the beast, the president is on the move. the president of the vice president really do not drive, at least on the open road. the vice president really does seem to miss it. he did address the north american auto show in detroit. he said that was one of the negatives about joining the presidential field. >> there is one overwhelming reason not to run for president.

julia louis-dreyfus was naked last time. >> not naked, though. naked means you're naked.don't have that one. >> you don't have that one. okay. >> he says coming out helped his career rather than hurt it. he has a huge straight guy following because he played that barney guy all those years on "how i met your mother." he's a terrific actor. >> by the way, it is so funny, if somebody else would have done that cover with a top hat covering that strategic part, everybody else would have been, like, oh, my god, what are they doing? because it is neil patrick harris, it is the cutest thing ever. he can do no wrong. >> some people get away with it because they're loveable. >> yes. and he is among them. so oprah winfrey, by the way, you know, she's got her own network and all that stuff. and you wonder how did someone start out? what were they like in the beginning before they were oprah? she had an audition tape that was somehow released on youtube. on own's youtube channel. they did release it. it is an audition for her trying out for chicago morning show back in 1983. check it
