Larry Wilmore is following in other Comedy Central personalities’ footsteps by hosting the 2016 White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner.
Carol Lee, the president of the White House Correspondents’ Association, announced on Wednesday that the “Nightly Show” host would take the podium in Washington, D.C. on April 30.
“Larry’s edgy, even provocative, brand of humor means he’s certainly up to the task of skewering politicians of all ideological stripes, and we don’t expect the nation’s news media to escape unscathed, either,” Lee said.
As usual, expect President Obama to show off his own comedic timing, as the Commander in Chief has made it a ritual to perform his own stand-up routine.
