President Obama was keen to show off his sense of humour at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner over the weekend in Washington, D.C.

Barack Obama made sure the crowd had a few laughs during his speech…And his target was Kendall Jenner!

The 20-year-old reality star turned model was singled out in front of a star-studded room but the younger sister of Kim Kardashian took it in her stride.

“We had the chance to meet her backstage and she seems like a very nice young woman,” Obama said.

“I’m not exactly sure what she does but I’m told my Twitter mentions are about to go through the roof.”

The annual event attracted a glamorous Hollywood group from Emma Watson to Will Smith.
