This should be fun.  On the night of the White House Correspondents' Dinner, Samantha Bee will be hosting a roast of Trump.

It's time for the actual WHCD to go the way of the dodo. It was always an icky affair, but now more than ever, it's untoward for the press to be rubbing shoulders with Trump and his ilk.

That is, if Trump would even go.

"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe." -John Guare, Landscape of the Body

I'm sure his "jokes" will be along the lines of the ones he told at the Al Smith dinner. 


My name is neither "adam" nor "greer."

After the humiliation he suffered at the last one, you just know he will go this year.  He did SNL too.  The draw of the spotlight will be to bright for him to resist
