White House Correspondents Dinner

NBC’s Seth Meyers welcomed one of his Late Night writers, Amber Ruffin, to join him on Monday’s show to attack the White House Correspondents Association for canceling Ruffin’s comedy routine at this year’s dinner. Ruffin made the mistake of saying the quiet part out loud when she claimed she would not use the occasion to roast all sides because the Trump Administration is similar to…

In a shocking turn-around, the White House Correspondents’ Association canceled plans to have extremely anti-Trump comedian Amber Ruffin perform at its annual dinner on April 26. President Trump, as well as his press secretary Karoline Leavitt, will not be attending the typically tilted proceedings. 

On Wednesday night, Politico reporter and White House Correspondents Association (WHCA) president Eugene Daniels — who’s soon leaving both positions for MSNBC — sent a lengthy email to members strongly suggesting they refuse to participate in the new press pool rotations created by the White House Press Office (or at least make a fuss out of it) and complaining that expanding who…

On Tuesday, White House Correspondents' Association President Eugene Daniels of Politico announced that Late Night with Seth Meyers writer Amber Ruffin will be this year’s featured comedian at the organization’s annual dinner.

It was remarkable breaking news, occurring live on CNN. The White House Correspondents Association hosted a dinner and a Biden for President rally broke out. CNN contributor Scott Jennings summed up the evening: “We had Biden speak tonight, and then we had a Biden surrogate effectively speak tonight.”

As he closed his remarks to the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, also known as Nerd Prom, President Joe Biden directed the media to lean further in his direction in covering the 2024 presidential election.

If there’s anything more annoying than journalists and media types hyping up the White House Correspondents Dinner, it’s them blowing smoke about who they invited to be their guests. Viewers of Monday’s CBS Mornings were treated to that grotesque display as everyone gushed about them inviting anti-American basketball player Brittney Griner to be their guest of honor; even bragging…

The annual White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner is traditionally filled with out-of-touch liberal elites in the media, Hollywood & politics rubbing elbows in fancy ball gowns and tuxedos, while they thumb their nose at middle America. While that was true this year, there were some moments that enraged liberals and delighted conservatives, with emphasis on the word some. It was…

The Daily Show correspondent Roy Wood Jr. is the comedian Saturday’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner and to preview his big night, he sat down for an interview with CBS Mornings’s Vladimir Duthiers on Thursday. Wood doesn’t view his job simply as telling jokes, but “there’s an even bigger responsibility” to speak to those who are preventing “America from moving forward.”…

The media made a big deal out of the White House Correspondents Dinner being back with Biden, baby! At least he joked the press is less popular than he is.

On Sunday and Monday, reporters on the NBC, ABC, and CBS morning shows were thrilled that the White House Correspondents’ Dinner had returned following the pandemic and was attended by a Democratic president. The networks repeatedly cheered the gathering of the liberal D.C. media and political elite as an event “celebrating the freedom of the press.”

Politico White House reporter Max Tani debased himself and his colleagues Friday morning to a humiliating degree with 2,900-word tome about how covering President Biden and his administration has, for the press corps, become “a bore” and “journalistic sedative” that “lack[s] flair” seeing as how they’re no longer fighting to save America from Donald Trump.

With the White House Correspondents Dinner only a day away, the cast of The View wanted to give President Biden a hand on Friday by pitching him jokes targeting people on the right to roast during his speech. But things didn’t go as they expected as each of the three “jokes” fell flat with an audience that groaned and had to be cued to clap by their guest co-host Jane Lynch.

On Thursday, Morning Joe co-hosts Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough pleaded for President Biden to skip Saturday’s White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner out of fear of COVID. The MSNBC couple repeatedly told Biden not to attend and just send a “videotape” in order to “stay away from the mess” of the crowded Washington D.C. gala.
