NEW YORK (1010 WINS) — Trevor Noah, the host of “The Daily Show” on Comedy Central, will be the featured entertainer for the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner on April 30.
This is the first time Noah, 37, will perform at the event, which is taking place for the first time since the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic.
“Trevor is an incredible talent who keeps us laughing — and thinking — four nights a week,” said a statement from Steven Portnoy, the association president and a reporter for CBS News Radio.
The association suggested that President Joe Biden will be there although former President Donald Trump did not attend the annual dinner during his term.
The event, the association said in a press release, will “offer the first opportunity since 2016 for the press and the president to share a few laughs for a good cause.”
The event has previously featured big-time entertainers including Jay Leno, Jimmy Kimmel, Seth Meyers, Conan O’Brien, Aretha Franklin, and Bob Hope.
Noah is currently in the midst of his “Back to Abnormal” comedy tour and is also scheduled to host this year’s Grammy awards on April 3.
