The comedian also roasted President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, albeit lightly.
Comedian Roy Wood Jr. did something many guests at the annual White House Correspondents' dinner forget to do: celebrate journalism.
The comments added a personal touch to the proceedings, which are organized each year by the White House Correspondents Association and meant to call attention to the mission of holding government officials accountable in reporting meant to be consumed by the American public. Wood didn’t shy away from addressing current media controversies. Indeed, the events of this week — during which Fox News ousted primetime host Tucker Carlson and CNN cut ties with longtime anchor Don Lemon — likely made his assignment easier. “To Tucker’s staff, I want you to know that I know what you’re feeling,” Wood said. “I work at ‘The Daily Show’ so I too have been blind-sided by the sudden departure of a host of a fake news program.
But the media took the brunt of his remarks. “My dog, Don Lemon. Don Lemon released a statement saying he got fired from CNN, then CNN released a statement saying that they offered Don a meeting. They had to part ways, because Don Lemon can’t even accurately report a story about Don Lemon,” Wood said.awake?” Wood asked/ ” Say what you want with our president — when he wakes up from that nap. Work gets done. He might doze off but then it’s infrastructure bill. Student loan forgiveness.
