CELEBS/ENTERTAINMENT/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “Comedians are cheering on Michelle Wolf after the comedian responded to a tweet from the president criticizing her performance at last year’s White House Correspondents Dinner. President Donald Trump referred to Wolf on Tuesday [11-20-18] as a ‘so-called comedian’ who ‘bombed so badly last year’ that the White House Correspondents’ Association decided to select its next host from outside the late-night and stand-up comedy world. On Monday [11-19-18], the WHCA announced that the 2019 edition will be hosted by author and historian Ron Chernow, who authored the Alexander Hamilton biography that inspired the hit musical. In the last 20 years, only two non-comedians have performed at the event: Aretha Franklin in 1999 and Ray Charles in 2003.”
