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.’
