an evening like this. honestly poking fun at yourself and also the press, like we ll also take some jabs tonight i m sure from trevor noah and perhaps president biden. you think? yeah. this dinner is it s about the it s about getting to be in the room and hang out with sources, journalists and their sources in a way that is not the kind of aggressive relationship that we sometimes have. i think that s important too. and i think we all have to have a thick skin if there are a few jabs either way. i think president biden would poke fun at himself in some way, even if it s not necessarily his age. having been the recipient of the jabs you have to sit back and laugh. that s the only response. exactly. april, you are celebrating 25 years of covering the white house at an event after the correspondence dinner, chris tucker is hosting mary j. blige is performing.
