Daily Show’s Michelle Wolf to host White House Correspondents Dinner

The Daily Show’s Michelle Wolf has been named the host of the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, it was announced on Thursday.

Wolf first worked as a writer on ‘Late Night With Seth Meyers’ before joining ‘The Daily Show With Trevor Noah’.

She recently received rave reviews for HBO hour-long special ‘Michelle Wolf: Nice Lady’ and is expected to be launching a weekly Netflix show later this year.

Now the only question will be if President Donald Trump decides to attend the annual get-together of journalists, to be held this year on April 28.

In a statement, Bloomberg News reporter and president of the correspondents’ association Margaret Talev, praised Wolf’s ‘truth-to-power style’ and ‘self-made, feminist edge’.

‘Our dinner honors the First Amendment and strong, independent journalism. [Wolf’s] embrace of these values and her truth-to-power style make her a great friend to the WHCA,’ said Talev.

‘Her Pennsylvania roots, stints on Wall Street and in science and self-made, feminist edge make her the right voice now.’
