there were lots of roasts and laughs and jokes and the irony is seth myers e made a joke about so --e made a joke about osama bin laden and mocked c span's low ratings when he said this. >> people think bin laden is in the hindu curb but every day from 4 to 5 he shows the -- host the show on c span. >> all right keep this in mind. you can see president obama grinning broadly right there at the joke. and that came hours before the u.s. force took bin laden out and that was on saturday night. president obama put the order forth on friday afternoon he knew something we didn't know. >>> the terror attacks hit the baltimore area very hard and were in the middle of the pentagon and new york city. pieces at world trade center had been taken across the country set up for memorials for those who lost their lives since september 11th and don harrison says if there's one here in baltimore county at a volunteer fire department. take a look. >> reporter: there you go. >> that's it. that's the 10-foot piece. >> reporter: a broken and twisted section of steel that once towered gracefully over the n

>> after a night of ribbing from the president and comedian seth myers, i'll be talking to donald trump live right here on cnn. i'm don lemon. the news starts right now. and across the south today, sunday services were devoted to remembering victims of last week's devastating tornadoes. the loss of so many loved ones so quickly is taking a heavy toll on survivors. >> it has been hard days for all of us. the school is gone. our church is gone. there's nothing. >> it is a scene that will play out over and over in the coming days. the death toll from the storms now stands at 339. thousands more are injured, missing or homeless. alabama today declared a day of prayer for the victims. the state suffered the greatest loss of life with about 250 people dead. federal officials today got firsthand looks at the destruction in mississippi and alabama. listen for them to struggle for words to describe what they saw. >> i've had an opportunity now to walk a few of these streets, you know, i don't think words can fairly express the level of devastation here. i'm not articulate enough to really expres

. >>> "saturday night live" host seth myers had quite a task hosting the white house correspondents' dinner last night, making everybody laugh without offending them too badly. >> always a fine line to walk. one person who definitely was not laughing, donald trump. myers eviscerated the donald in his speech. here are a few of myers' barbs. >> donald trump is saying he'll run for president as a republican, which is surprising because i just assumed he was running as a joke. donald trump often appears on fox, which is ironic because a fox often appears on donald trump's head. donald trump said recently he has a great relationship with the blacks, though unless the blacks are a family of white people, i bet he's mistaken. >> i didn't even see a glimmer of a smile on mr. trump. >> he knew. >> although i think i saw a clenched jaw. did you not see that? whoa. myers also ripped the president on aging rather quickly while in the white house. he told him, quote, i don't usually do this, but maybe you should start smoking again. >> that's pretty funny stuff. >> i agree with you guys. i did no

. >> and the hindsight being 20/20 and you watched the correspondents dinner and seth myers' joke, and saying that he was hosting an hour on c-span in the afternoon was osama bin laden, and it is basic as that, the man hiding in plain sight? >> well, again, i think that the part of the people are feeling excited and happy about all of this, but as we become more sober and reflect, you know, listen everyday that he had an additional day of life and of relative ease and pleasure when people in this country and around the world frankly were suffering from the decisions that he had made everyday of justice delayed was justice denied, and although we are pleased about the outcome, we have to ask whether or not it should have really take then lo -- taken this long, and what kind of failures were in place at the end of the second administration that made it take so long. >> melissa, always great to have you on, melissa harris-perry, great to have you on. >> thanks. >> and terrorism at home, and that is the question that many are asking in the wake of osama bin laden's death. we will explore i

after the president wrapped up, "saturday night live's" seth myers got a few shots in as well. >> i still we all remember that inauguration day, the first lady was there. and may i say for as beautiful as you look that day, you look even more beautiful tonight. >> now you, on the other hand, mr. president, have aged a little. what happened to you? when you were sworn in you looked like the guy from the old spice commercials. now you look like louis gossett senior. i've never said this to anyone before, but maybe you should start smoking again. >> the correspondents' dinner has been an annual tradition since 1920. it's always fun to see them a little relaxed. much more ahead on "today in the bay." coming up, 45 days and counting, what's holding up our state budget now. political analyst larry gershon weighs in. >>> plus, why are bay area shelters overrun thhu chiahuas and what can you do to help them out? we'll show you, just ahead. >>> and the weather looks outstanding if you want to take your dog to the park today. temperatures soaring, close to 80, turning even hotter for the week ahead

i give seth myers enormous credit for his takedown of donald trump.e knew he was going to face incredible questions as well as ridicule. so i don't know that we'll ever know. >> i think trump was tempted at one point when he got the 26% of the polls. >> yeah. >> get david in in the final moment. >> i think there's a broader question to ask, which is when mitt romney easily puts away this whole contest, we're going to look back on four years of punditry and say what was that all about? wasn't it obvious the whole time that mitt romney was the front-runner, was going to win, and no one else had the staying power to beat him? >> if it was so easy to know the future, many of us would be out of business. it's more fun to talk about it. i think there came a point when he had to take trump serious. joan, you make a good point. when the press started looking loo his business record, his voting record, things he was pushing on birthers, that's when the air started to go out of the trump balloon. we have got to go. thanks very much for joining us this morning.

>> seth myers is the head writer of "saturday night live."president to the press and, of course, politicians. some called it mean but there was no denying his time at the mike made people laugh. >> this evening i'm going to be making a lot of jokes about many of the people in the room, but don't worry, i assure you no matter how harsh the jokes they have been vetted by the top at the top, chinese president hu gin tau. before i start, these are my birth certificate jokes, to thank you for the timing of that, mr. president. now unusable. we were working on these jokes for months. one of my guys said, are you worried we are heavy on birth certificate jokes in what if he released it before the dinner? i was like, why would he do that? he's not going to wait three years and then release it before the dinner. who told you i had birth certificate jokes? it was assange, wasn't it? is biden still vice president because if not i'm down to like, thank you and god bless america. just look at the options the republicans are kicking around, palin, huckabee

seth myers made a comment about osama bin laden showing up on c- span. it was a joke. our president was sitting there in front of god and everybody at the white house dinner. not the white house dinner but the correspondents' dinner. he made a comment of that, and nobody ever watches c-span, that osama bin laden has been met -- has been there on c-span. but nobody pays attention. it was the joke of the evening. president obama never even gave a clue that he knew what had happened. obviously the man had died a week ago. from what i understand. i'm trying to find out what is going to happen to snl. you know what i'm saying? i'm looking at now in retrospect and thinking, -- >> thank you for the call. we will learn more details. the word can tonight that the president would have the speech from the white house. no indication in terms of what the content would be. shortly after 10:30 eastern time, the confirmation that osama bin laden was captured and killed. an operation has been in works for the past couple of days. george w. bush said president obama called to inform me

you saw him perhaps at the white house correspondent dinner when seth myers took him on with many of his jokes. a source has a piece about that this morning. in other news they write donald trump has offered another for his grim face during the dinner in nashua. he explained that he was not sure how to react when president obama and seth myers started making jokes about him. i looked at my wife and said is this good or bad. am i supposed to be honored or hide under the table. so i just sat there and listened it -- listened and took it in. rockaway, minnesota, larry, independent, on the air. caller: good morning. i believe my former governor tim paul leapty -- pawlenty has the property qualities. one thing he has done in minnesota, in minnesota you can't tip in the hospitality industry. because of him the tips are counted against the wages and taxed. so there was enough to have a new stadium. there is no better quality ever. we have to squeeze the poor borrows the rich just don't have enough. donald trump. they are begging for more. we have to squeeze these poor people that are making

seth myers hosted the show. the president made fun of himself but also in the room, donald trump.t one point myers said "donald trump owns the miss usa pageant, great for republicans because it will streamline their search for vice president." he said it, not me, but that was just one of a number of zingers. listen to this. >> and then of course there's donald trump. donald trump has been saying that he will run for president as a republican, which is surprising, since i just assumed he was running as a joke. >> my fellow americans, the state of hawaii released my official long form birth certificate. but just in case there are any lingering questions, tonight i'm prepared to go a step further. tonight, for the first time, i am releasing my official birth video. ♪ i want to make clear to the fox news table, that was a joke. that was not my real birth video. that was a children's cartoon. call disney if you don't believe me. they have the original long form version. >> okay, that's pretty good. and again donald trump was in the room. the president spent, quite frankly, a surprising
