WASHINGTON (AP) — Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi brought his comedy game to Thursday’s big White House dinner in his honor. Modi cracked jokes about his lack of singing chops and the time President Joe Biden wanted him to eat even though he was fasting. Modi isn’t known for having a sense of humor, but he had the nearly 400 guests in stitches throughout his toast. Titans of business, fashion, entertainment and more made the guest list. Designer Ralph Lauren, filmmaker M. Night Shyamalan and tennis legend Billie Jean King were among those rubbing shoulders with tech leaders from Apple, Google and Microsoft.
