Watch Trevor Noah’s Spectacular Speech from the Correspondent’s Dinner
Share
The Daily Show’s Trevor Noah hosted the first White House correspondent’s dinner in six years.
Noah took aim at, among others, Kyrsten Sinema, Ron DeSantis, Meghan McCain, the New York Times and Maggie Haberman, as well as Laura Ingraham, of whom he noted: “What can you say about her that hasn’t already been said by the Anti-Defamation League?”
But his closer was spectacular reminding everyone of the reporters risking everything in Ukraine.

“In America, you have the right to seek the truth and speak the truth, even if it makes people in power uncomfortable,” Noah said. “Even if it makes viewers or readers uncomfortable. You understand how amazing that is? I stood here tonight and I made fun of the president of the United States and I’m going to be fine.”
Turning to Biden, he asked, “I’m going to be fine, right?”
But before he left, Noah got in one more dig at the president. “Please be careful leaving tonight,” he told the crowd. “We all know this administration doesn’t handle evacuations well.”
