Memorable performances by <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=IJ-a2KeyCAY\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Stephen Colbert<\/a> and <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=7YGITlxfT6s\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Seth Meyers<\/a>, among other stars, have turned into touchstones of political satire.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But amid rocky relations between President Trump and the White House press corps \u2014 and numerous efforts by the administration to undermine the news media \u2014 the correspondents\u2019 group decided to go in a different direction.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThe W.H.C.A. board has unanimously decided we are no longer featuring a comedic performance this year,\u201d the association\u2019s president, Eugene Daniels, wrote to members on Saturday. \u201cAt this consequential moment for journalism, I want to ensure the focus is not on the politics of division but entirely on awarding our colleagues for their outstanding work and providing scholarship and mentorship to the next generation of journalists.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Representatives of Ms. Ruffin did not immediately respond to a request for comment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The announcement was a sharp break from the group\u2019s position in early February, when it <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/whca.press\/2025\/02\/04\/whca-announces-amber-ruffin-as-entertainer-for-2025-annual-dinner\/\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">trumpeted<\/a> Ms. Ruffin\u2019s comedic style as \u201cthe ideal fit for this current political and cultural climate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cShe has the ability to walk the line between blistering commentary and humor all while provoking her audience to think about the important issues of the day,\u201d Mr. Daniels said in a news release. \u201cI\u2019m thrilled and honored she said yes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In the weeks since, Mr. Daniels and his fellow board members at the correspondents\u2019 association have become embroiled in various standoffs with the administration. The White House <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/02\/11\/us\/politics\/trump-ap-gulf-mexico-america.html\" title=\"\">barred Associated Press<\/a> journalists from attending certain official events and began picking and choosing which news outlets <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/02\/25\/business\/media\/trump-white-house-press.html\" title=\"\">were allowed to participate<\/a> in the presidential press pool, breaking from decades of precedent.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">On Thursday, Ms. Ruffin made critical comments about the Trump White House during an appearance on <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thedailybeast.com\/watch-comedian-amber-ruffin-joins-the-daily-beast-podcast\/\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">a Daily Beast podcast<\/a>, at one point referring to the administration as \u201ckind of a bunch of murderers.\u201d She also said that the correspondents\u2019 association had encouraged her to be evenhanded in her satire. \u201cThey were like, \u2018You need to be equal and make sure that you give it to both sides,\u2019\u201d Ms. Ruffin said, \u201cand I was like, \u2018There\u2019s no way I\u2019m going to be freaking doing that, dude. Under no circumstances.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Her comments set off an angry response from a deputy White House chief of staff, Taylor Budowich, who <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Taylor47\/status\/1905790231929934001\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">wrote on X<\/a>, \u201cWhat kind of responsible, sensible journalist would attend something like this?\u201d On Saturday, after Ms. Ruffin was dropped, Mr. Budowich <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Taylor47\/status\/1906047194538311775\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">referred<\/a> to the association\u2019s statement as \u201cpathetic.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In 2017, Mr. Trump became the first president to <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2017\/03\/28\/us\/politics\/trump-white-house-correspondents-dinner-spicer.html\" title=\"\">skip the dinner<\/a> since 1981, when Ronald Reagan was incapacitated after an assassination attempt (although Mr. Reagan called in to the event from his hospital room). Mr. Trump never attended the dinner during his first term.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In 2019, the correspondents\u2019 association opted against a comedian for the first time in 15 years and instead <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2018\/11\/19\/business\/media\/ron-chernow-white-house-correspondents-dinner.html?module=inline\" title=\"\">booked Ron Chernow<\/a>, a historian and biographer, who spoke on the First Amendment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">On Saturday, Mr. Daniels, who recently <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/03\/03\/business\/media\/white-house-news-media.html\" title=\"\">joined MSNBC<\/a> as a correspondent, said he had spent the last two weeks \u201cplanning a re-envisioning of our dinner tradition for this year.\u201d He did not announce an alternative speaker, but promised an evening focused on honoring \u201cjournalistic excellence and a robust, independent media covering the most powerful office in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-798hid etfikam0\">Julia Jacobs<!-- --> contributed reporting.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- ItShrt World News -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"1882483372\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/03\/29\/us\/politics\/white-house-correspondents-dinner-amber-ruffin.html\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here\u2019s another thing getting cut in Washington: comedy.
