Comedian Trevor Noah took aim at lawmakers on both sides of the aisle and praised the important role played by journalists as he marked the return of the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner on Saturday, April 30 in Washington D.C.
The last time a president and comedian shared the same stage at the White House Correspondents' Dinner was six years ago in 2016 with then host Larry Wilmore ending his set with a goodbye to Barack Obama. Donald Trump shunned the event while in office, and the WHCA dinner was sidelined by the pandemic in 2020 and 2021.. “And I was a little confused on why me, but then I was told that you get your highest approval ratings when a biracial African guy is standing next to you.
“People have been so hard on you, which I don’t get,” Noah said to Biden, before continuing with an inflation-related punchline: “Ever since you’ve come into office, things are really looking up: Gas is up, rent is up, food is up. Everything...” Noah joked,"The real reason that it’s such an honor to be here tonight is that we all get to be in the same room as the most powerful man in the United States.
“Ron won’t even tell people if he got the booster, or as they say in Florida, ‘Don’t ask, don’t tell,’” Noah said, in reference to the now repealed ban on gay people serving openly in the military.
