Please: Don't Try to Make The White House Laugh

Hamilton Biographer Ron Chernow, Not Comedian, to Star at Next White House Correspondents’ Dinner

The White House Correspondents’ Association said Monday that biographer Ron Chernow will be the main speaker at its annual dinner next year, departing from the long tradition of having a comedian roasting the president. (WSJ)

It’s a departure from tradition for the nearly 100-year-old dinner, where a comedian usually headlines a roast. At last year’s event, comedian Michelle Wolf delivered blistering criticism of President Trump, who was not in attendance, and White House press secretary Sarah Sanders, who was, touching off a firestorm. Wolf responded to the news in a tweet on Monday, calling the association “cowards.”
