Roy Wood Jr. will be this year’s featured entertainer at the White House Correspondents’ Association’s annual dinner on April 29.
The Daily Show correspondent has a standup special, Imperfect Messenger, streaming on Paramount+.
The gig is a high profile assignment — drawing attention across cable news networks and countless clips on social media — but it’s also one of the most challenging. The entertainer typically follows the president on stage, in the cavernous Washington Hilton ballroom packed with almost 3,000 guests.
“Roy Wood Jr. brings a journalistic eye to his comedy. He’s hilarious — but also makes sure his audiences are thinking as they laugh,” Tamara Keith, the Whca president and White House correspondent for NPR, said in a statement.
“My aim for this year’s dinner is to lift up the importance of a free and independent press to a functioning democracy, so I am thrilled to be able to...

Before Trevor Noah signs off for the last time on “The Daily Show,” he’s releasing a new comedy special on Netflix.
Titled “I Wish You Would,” the special will launch on the streamer on Nov. 22. It’s his third Netflix release, following 2017’s “Afraid of the Dark” and 2018’s “Son of Patricia.” Noah will share hilarious “revelations about learning to speak German, modern communication and his love for curry,” according to the logline.
“I Wish You Would” was filmed at the Scotiabank Arena in Toronto and is directed by David Paul Meyer. Noah is an executive producer alongside Bob Bain, Norm Aladjem, Derek Van Pelt and Sanaz Yamin of Day Zero Productions.
Last month, Noah shocked his “Daily Show” fans by announcing he’d be leaving the Comedy Central series after hosting for seven years. His last appearance will be Dec. 8, after which the show will go on hiatus until Jan.

A day after announcing on air that he’d be departing The Daily Show after seven years, Noah made his way to Toronto, where he filmed his third Netflix special. Titled I Wish you Would, the hour will premiere globally Nov. 22.

There’s a reason why event producer Bob Bain didn’t employ a host for this year’s two Creative Arts Emmy ceremonies. He has 45 awards to give out on Saturday, Sept. 3, and 48 categories to honor on Sunday, Sept. 4 — which means there’s little time for anything else.
“If you think about it, the biggest challenge for a host is that once you have him or her, you have to justify them being up there,” Bain says. “For us to create, over the course of two hours, six or eight throws or standups for a host, just takes up more time than we feel we need to spend.”
Instead, the two Creative Arts ceremonies will open with short monologues, while other comedic breaks will be sprinkled throughout the shows. But Bain’s goal...
