History of national presidential jokes has influenced national presidential jokes

National Presidential Joke Day began on August 11, 1984. President Ronald Reagan joked, "I'm delighted to inform you today that I've signed legislation that will outlaw Russia forever," he joked during a soundcheck for his Saturday evening radio broadcast. In five minutes, we'll begin bombing.' The networks had agreed that remarks made during sound checks were off the record since 1982. However, someone leaked the recording to the general public, but not everyone knew it. Eventually, CBS carried the recording on its Monday evening news. Critics blasted Reagan as unpresidential, while others dismissed the parody under most circumstances..
