2023 White House Correspondents’ Dinner

The White House Correspondents’ Dinner isn’t an easy gig to host. The headlining entertainer/comedian has to thread the needle between roasting the media and politicians without immediately pissing everyone in the room off (or at least launching the United States into one of its darkest periods in history. Oops!). Last Friday was the latest Dinner, hosted by Roy Wood, Jr. who did a pretty great job delivering strong jokes as well as sincere pleas for supporting local news and local reporters. You can watch his remarks in full below:

And if you’re curious what the experience is like, what goes into making the whole event, and more insight, check out the video below where Wood talks about all of the surreal elements that surround such things.
