The White House Correspondents' Association announced Tuesday that Saturday Night Live cast-member Kenan Thompson and Netflix's Hasan Minhaj will headline the upcoming White House Correspondents' Dinner in April.
Thompson will serve as the dinner's host while Minhaj, the host of Netflix's"Patriot Act with Hasan Minhaj" and who was the event's headliner in 2017, will serve as the featured entertainer, the WHCA announced."Kenan and Hasan are two of the most engaged and engaging entertainers in America," ABC News' Jonathan Karl, president of the WHCA, said in a statement."I’m thrilled they’ll help us celebrate the role of a free press in our democracy.
President Donald Trump, breaking with the tradition of predecessors, opted not to attend the first three dinners of his presidency.
Glad to see they are going back to comedians.
don't recognize either one of these guys.
I wonder what the jokes will be about?!
That ought to be GOOOOD!
Good burger and who?
Why 2? Kenan would have been more than enough? PC?
Was this the guy accused of rape?
Trump only ran as a vendetta against Obama for humiliating him at the White House Correspondents' dinner. This f*cking thing needs to stop!
Because 'diversity!'
Trump can’t bear jokes because he is a joke
yawn
This is what America has needed for a long time now
Where’s Trump?
Will there be one this year?
Is Trump attending?
Hasan was amazing last time Too bad Trump's just gonna chicken out again
Within minutes, jonkarl put the kibosh on kenanthompson performing. Can you say Racist?!? WTH whca?
Good to see comedians are back for this year's WHCD, because last year's was boring as shit. The WHCA learned real quick that cowardice doesn't pay.
Oh this should be Good!!!!
Great choice ... but ... no woman?
Keenan is cool the other guy is edgy woke trash and tries too much on “but I’m brown!” Jokes
All they will do is make fun of the President!
👍👍👍
will Trump even show up?
PrincessBravato Drag them all
More diversity than the 2020 Democratic field. 🤦♂️
But why no kel? You would've gotten so many more viewers for this dynamic duo
Looking forward to the laughs
dancindoti Excellent! Back to brutal jokes I hope
Can't wait!
dancindoti Really glad to see Kenan get his due. He has put in the satirical time. Bravo, go forward and humor us!
That will be good.
Hasan Minaj is straight savage too. His jokes are thinkers.
What a wonderful opportunity. Congrats
Kenan is funny, Minhaj is another liberal who thinks hating Trump is comedy
Only NBC cares about this
There will be hand gestures, lots of hand gestures.
Why waste Kenan's time and talent, hosting an event where the president and most of the DC politicos are too scared to attend? I'd rather watch if POTUS was in attendance for a good roasting. Kenan 2021! whca
IAmKevinTerrell This should be iconic!
The fat black guy from Nickelodeon?
Go kenanthompson !!
morganLOOKS Watching Kenan as a child on Nickelodeon and seeing him climb up the Hollywood ladder to solidifying himself on SNL plus more AND scandal free just brings tears to my eyes. He’s a real class act and I’m so happy for him!
JemisonJaclyn michelleisawolf would be a welcome addition!
Oh thank god they wised up and went back to hiring comedians (no offense Ron)
WordswithSteph Where are the women? whca WE WANT A WOMAN COMEDIAN AS A THIRD. NOW. I SUGGEST michelleisawolf
gearing up for another night of hate talk
That will be so much fun!! Betting no WH people show up, again!! Excellent choice!
This could be amazing. 👌🏼😆
If it wasn’t for fake & perverted news there’d be no news
kenanthompson Pierre Escargot better make an appearance
If it wasn’t for fake & perverted news there’d be no news
Because 'DIVERSITY!'
gimme chris rock hes actually funny
I like it! Two hosts, two times the number of tweets the fat guy will have to compose. It lessens the damage he can do otherwise.
And who cares!!
...VOTE BLUE NO MATTER WHO..
KenanThompson looks like the first Black girl I ever picked up at a bar. Good munching.
