WASHINGTON—U.S. President Barack Obama squeezed in a Justin Trudeau joke at his final White House Correspondents’ Dinner roast.

Obama made a few cracks about how he’d aged during his eight-year presidency, referring to his new grey hair and how he’d have no trouble being awake for a 3 a.m. phone call because of his frequent toilet breaks.

Then came an aside about Canada’s new prime minister, whom he hosted at a state dinner last month.

“Somebody recently said to me, ‘Mr. President, you are so yesterday. Justin Trudeau has completely replaced you. He’s so handsome, he’s so charming. He’s the future,’ ” Obama said.

Obama then delivered the presidential punchline, waving dismissively: “I said, ‘Justin, just give it a rest.'
