The White House Correspondent’s Dinner was held tonight for the first time in 3 years. Trevor Noah headlined and took aim at everyone, including CNN. Jokes included “Everyone make yourself comfortable, well not too comfortable Jeffrey Toobin”, “Where is Chris Cuomo”, “Chef Jose is here. When disaster strikes he’s there, which is why he’s at the CNN table.” “Where is Jeff Zucker…Zucker left because of an office relationship he wanted to keep hidden. If he really wanted to hide it he should have put it on CNN+”. Noah had a good dig at CNN+, including jokes that John King should’ve been able to predict with his Magic Wall and that Stanley Tucci already found Italy and he’s swindling CNN. He also gave a shout out to Chris Licht and told him the first job is to find someone to turn off the Breaking News banner that’s been on since the OJ chase.
Chris Licht has some serious work to do if he wants to improve CNN’s reputation. I’d expect some jokes about CNN during the WHCD, but a failed $300m project and multiple cases involving people acting inappropriately are big black eyes to recover from.
Of course, CNN didn’t let the Stanley Tucci’s jokes stop them from plugging the new series tomorrow and airing an old episode now.
