For the second straight week, Saturday Night Live opened with Fred Armisen doing an impression of President Barack Obama in a skit that wasn’t flattering.

SNL joked in its news segment that after Obama won the Nobel prize so early in his presidency, honors like People’s Sexiest Man designation may soon go to kids.

But the President himself can see the humor in it. Asked about the comment on The Late Show with David Letterman, Obama quipped, “I think it’s important to realize that I was actually black before the election.” Letterman deadpanned, “Really.
