Air date: May 04, 1996

At the White House Correspondents' Association’s annual black-tie dinner, President Bill Clinton presented the WHCA awards, then joked about his “stealth campaign.” Comedian Al Franken joked gently about President and Mrs. Clinton. He roasted notable audience members and was hardest on House Speaker Newt Gingrich, who took exception afterward to remarks about his family.
