Meet the Grandstander-in-Chief.
Comedian Keegan-Michael Key made a scene-stealing appearance as "Luther, the President's anger translator" at the White House Correspondents dinner Saturday, where he gave the famously laid back President Obama a chance to unload on the media.
"Hold on to your lilly white butts!" the "Key & Peele" star boomed after the POTUS brought him onstage toward the tail end of his speech at the Washington Hilton event.
Luther's first target was unsurprising: Fox News, whom he blasted for terrifying "old white people with some nonsense."

"Sharia law is coming to Cleveland, run for the damn hills!" he bellowed, mocking the network's news approach.
Obama remained impressively stonefaced throughout the bit.

"For two whole weeks, we were one step away from 'The Walking Dead!'" he shouted.
Luther also channeled the President's rage at Congress' failure to act on climate change with a zinger about California's crippling drought.
"It looked like the trailer for the new 'Mad Max' movie up in there," the comedian joked.
"You all think Bradley Cooper came here because he wants to talk to Chuck Todd? He needed a glass of water!"
