, the association announced Thursday. “It’s an honor to be a part of a long-running tradition of celebrating those members of the media, who work so hard to uncover the truth, and hold our government accountable,” Wood said in a statement. “It will be a great night that will go down in the history books, or not, depending on which state you live in.” The annual dinner, which traditionally features a standup comedian who roasts the president and the press, is scheduled to take place on April 29.
Last year’s event, the first held in person after a two-year hiatus, was headlined by then-“Daily Show” host Trevor Noah and featured President Biden delivering comedic remarks. Tamara Keith, president of the White House Correspondents’ Association, said that Wood, who holds a degree in broadcast journalism, will bring “a journalistic eye to his comedy.” “He’s hilarious – but also makes sure his audiences are thinking as they laugh,” Keith said.
