The White House Correspondents’ Association announced Thursday that Michelle Wolf would be the comedian speaking at the annual dinner on April 28.
“I’m delighted to announce ‘Nice Lady’ Michelle Wolf as our featured entertainer this year,” president of WHCA Margaret Talev said in Thursday’s statement. “Our dinner honors the First Amendment and strong, independent journalism. Her embrace of these values and her truth-to-power style make her a great friend to the WHCA. Her Pennsylvania roots, stints on Wall Street and in science and self-made, feminist edge make her the right voice now.”
Wolf, a former on-air contributor and writer for “The Daily Show” with Trevor Noah on Comedy Central, will be appearing in a recently announced Netflix comedy show. She also just appeared in the HBO special “Michelle Wolf: Nice Lady.”
Usually the president and first lady attend the dinner, as well as other senior government officials and press personnel. The White House has not said if Trump will attend this year’s dinner.
