Michelle Wolf is about to launch a new series on Netflix. If this non-controversy really upset the WHCA, its members would long ago have stopped booking “SNL” cast members and “Comedy Central” stars and replaced them with “Up With People” or whatever amalgamation of the Beach Boys is touring this century. NBC’s “Saturday Night Live” has faced not even a little opprobrium despite broadcasting an increasing number of accidental profanities by a number of its hosts in recent seasons. CBS continues to broadcast despite the controversy Janet Jackson generated in 2004 by revealing part of her breast during the network’s broadcast of Super Bowl XXXVIII. After all, if previous comics didn’t bring an end to this years-long tradition, Wolf certainly won’t. The oh-my-stars-and-garters reaction of various journalists, sundry critics and, now, the association itself, seems misplaced. Otherwise, its event would be televised by the same number of cable networks that broadcast the industry’s annual Pulitzer Prizes or Loeb Awards.

It clearly craves the notoriety they bring. The WHCA needs the comedians it hires every year. “But he was just so strung out on Ox圜ontin he missed his flight.” “I think maybe Rush Limbaugh was the 20th hijacker,” noted Sykes. When you’re taking chances, you know it’s not going to please everybody.” Wanda Sykes in 2009 took on Rush Limbaugh, comparing him to Osama bin Laden. Asked if he would have changed anything, Wilmore told Variety, “I would have doubled down. Wilmore raised hackles in 2016 by poking fun at Lester Holt, Don Lemon and Wolf Blitzer (“Speaking of drones, how is Wolf Blitzer still on television?”) – and by using a racial epithet at the end of his remarks. Because one has to wonder why Wolf’s jokes weren’t in keeping with the group’s values, while other funny business by Larry Wilmore or Wanda Sykes was. That statement is almost as funny as any of the many jokes Wolf let loose with at the gala.

This year, however, the WHCA took things one step further, issuing a press release the following day to say that Wolf’s monologue “was not in the spirit” of the group’s mission to call attention to the value of a free press as well as great journalism. You helped create this monster and now you are profiting from him.”īasically, it’s the same sort of stuff you hear out of this event every April. It was the perfect birthday shout out (especially as I wasn’t able. She gave such a heartfelt, witty, & uplifting Cameo. ” Maybe she’s born with it, maybe it’s lies.” And, Wolf on the media: “He has helped you sell your papers and your books and your TV. We just showed the cameo to Daphne onion hating Daffodil and made a teenager smile so much She loved it, & loved hearing how much you have in common (except the onion thing). “I think she’s very resourceful, like she burns facts and then she uses that ash to create a perfect smokey eye,” said Wolf of Sarah Huckabee Sanders, the White House Press Secretary. Like Colbert, Wolf poked fun not only at the current president, Donald Trump, but also some of his aides Democrats Republicans and the press corps itself. The White House Correspondents Association didn’t like what Michelle Wolf had to say at its annual awards dinner this past weekend, but there’s one thing everyone who watched the event can agree upon: She earned her paycheck. Colbert’s lesson from the episode? “Do the jokes you want to do, and if you do the jokes you really want to do, someone will like it.”

It just took a while for them to express it.” Indeed, Colbert’s speech went viral on YouTube, an early example of how content can spark intense pass-along and generate a reaction entirely different from the one displayed by material’s intended audience. “There was a lot of hostility from the world after that,” Colbert told Variety during an interview last August, in remarks that were previously unpublished. People are still talking about Colbert’s. No one talks about Little’s performance anymore. Sound familiar? The WHCA tried to soothe furrowed brows by inviting Little to the next event. Some Bush supporters and aides expressed indignation.
