With Joe Biden running for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination, we scour late night talk shows and the entertainment world for Biden-related humor in a reoccurring feature called Joe Jokes.

►"Joe Biden is in first place by 24 percent. Biden was pretty proud today. He gave himself a pat, a squeeze and a rub on the back." ("The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon")

►"According to a new CNN poll of Democratic voters, Biden is currently the No. 1 choice by a lot — he's 24 points ahead of his closest competitor, Bernie Sanders, who is in second place. That could mean a showdown between Biden and Bernie, which is exciting. Usually when a couple of 70-year-olds are in competition, the winner is whoever yells bingo first." ("Jimmy Kimmel Live!")

►"Joe Biden has opened up a 24-point lead over the nearest candidate. A 24-point lead. Analysts expect that lead to fade once Biden starts talking." ("Conan")

Joe Biden stops by Gianni's Pizza in Trolley Square in April with his sister Valerie Biden Owens after his announcing his 2020 presidential bid.

►"Today, Joe Biden's wife Jill acknowledged that many times in her life men have touched her inappropriately. She said she learned to deal with it by saying things like, 'Knock it off,' or, 'OK, Joe, I will marry you.'" ("Conan")

►"Former Vice President Joe Biden released a new campaign video today where he ended with, 'I'm Joe Biden and I approve this massage ... I mean, message! Message!'" ("Late Night with Seth Meyers")

►"Many believe Donald Trump is helping Joe Biden by tweeting about him and calling him 'Sleepy Joe.' But 'Sleepy' was up bright and early today on 'Good Morning America' when Robin Roberts asked if he has a motto."

Roberts: "The president has a motto: Make America Great Again. Do you have one?"

"OK, Make America Moral Again is a nice sentiment, but it is an absolutely terrible hat." ("Jimmy Kimmel Live")

Late night talk show hosts welcomed Joe Biden to the Democratic presidential primary with plenty of jokes.

"And the fourth is that I'm pretty sure I left an almost-new ChapStick in the Oval Office somewhere." ("The Late Show with Stephen Colbert")

►[Video clip begins]

Biden: "Charlottesville is also home to a defining moment for this nation over the last few years. In August of 2017, we saw Klansmen, white supremacists and neo-Nazis come out in the open, chanting the same anti-Semitic bile heard across Europe in the '30s.

"Biden is appealing to his key demo. People alive in the 1930s." ("The Late Show with Stephen Colbert")

►"Former Vice President Joe Biden has officially announced he's running for president and he's already a frontrunner, which is ideal because nothing good happens when he comes from behind." ("Late Night with Seth Meyers")

Late night talk show hosts welcomed Joe Biden to the Democratic presidential primary with plenty of jokes.

►"In the first 24 hours of his campaign, Joe Biden raised $6.4 million. He did it in a very interesting way. He stood outside a movie theater and said, 'Give me a thousand bucks or I'll ruin 'The Avengers' for you.'" ("The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon")
