The president's set was excellent.

Today they're saying that O'Brien patterned his bit on Henny Youngman, and a number of commentators think it was successful. To me his reading was distracting- and the quick move to the next joke didn't help. They say he did about 50 jokes and gibes but in my opinion if he had slowed down in his delivery he would have done better with just 25.

But as I said, the president was excellent- good material and as good delivery as I've heard from professional comedians.
