So everyone that's here from Congress, you should feel right at home. I'm not trying to get anything accomplished. WOLF: And just a reminder to everyone, I'm here to make jokes. Like a porn star says when she's about to have sex with a Trump, let's get this over with. Here we are, the White House Correspondents' dinner. (SOUNDBITE OF 2018 WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENTS' DINNER) We'll hear the Sarah Sanders part a little later. Let's hear some excerpts of Michelle Wolf's set Saturday night with some of the jokes that went over well in the room. This year and last year, President Trump decided not to attend and instead counterprogrammed with rallies, giving speeches to cheering fans. To put this controversy in perspective, the White House Correspondents' Association dinner has for many years concluded with the president doing stand-up, roasting the media and politicians, followed by a guest comic roasting the president, politicians and the media. She's been a writer and performer on "Late Night With Seth Meyers" and a correspondent on "The Daily Show With Trevor Noah." Last year, she had an HBO comedy special called "Nice Lady," and she has a new weekly Netflix comedy series called "The Break" that will debut May 27. Wolf is known for doing comedy from a feminist perspective. We're going to talk about what this whole episode has been like for Wolf. The White House Correspondents' Association president said Wolf's performance was not in the spirit of the event's mission of offering a unifying message about the group's commitment to a free press while honoring civility, not dividing people. A lot of journalists are now saying the dinner should no longer include a guest comic. Wolf's performance became the subject of ongoing analysis and debate on cable news and Twitter and websites. Sanders, who was seated at the dais, representing the Trump administration, was not laughing. Some of the attendees found some of her jokes inappropriate, especially a couple of jokes about White House press secretary Sarah Sanders. So maybe you've heard about the White House Correspondents' Association dinner Saturday night where my guest, comic Michelle Wolf, was the performer. ![]()
