Larry Wilmore Headlining White House Correspondents’ Dinner

Larry Wilmore, host of Comedy Central's The Nightly Show, has been tapped to host the White House Correspondents' Dinner on April 30.

“Larry’s edgy, even provocative, brand of humor means he’s certainly up to the task of skewering politicians of all ideological stripes, and we don’t expect the nation’s news media to escape unscathed, either,” said WHCA president Carol Lee in a statement. “We are thrilled that Larry has accepted our invitation to be the featured comedian at our annual dinner, which will be the last during the Obama White House.”

Wilmore later tweeted that he is "beyond excited" to host the dinner.

Previous hosts include Seth Meyers, Joel McHale, Cecily Strong and Jimmy Kimmel.
