President Obama has been praised for the jokes he made at Saturday's White House Correspondents Association dinner, during which he poked fun at Donald Trump and Matt Damon, among others.


It turns out that a writer on the Daily Show With Jon Stewart is one of those whom Obama should be thanking.

Kevin Bleyer was one of the writers who helped Obama with his jokes, Comedy Central confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter late Monday. Bleyer apparently took the job independent of Daily Show and was the show's only writer who had a hand in Obama's script.

New York Magazine reports that Trump -- who sat stone-faced throughout the crowd's raucous laughter over attacks on his hair, credentials and accent -- had little to say immediately following the event.

When asked if he had enjoyed the jokes, he replied shortly, "Not really. Some were fun, but not the greatest."

Speaking to "Fox and Friends" the morning after the gala, however, the Republican presidential candidate hopeful fought back against the blitz that had left him at a loss for words the night before.
