Jon Stewart breaks down the rescheduled White House Correspondents' Dinner that took place over the weekend: After the original WHCD event was derailed by an attempted shooting, Trump’s defiant return to the stage featured timely references to 2016, wordy roasts that failed to pack a punch, and trailing explanations of jokes that bombed. Jon gives Trump’s speech a Comedy 101 critique and wonders which of this year’s correspondents' dinners ended more unceremoniously.
Jon sits down with CNN's award-winning chief White House correspondent and “The Source” anchor Kaitlan Collins to discuss the White House Correspondents’ dinner and how she handles insults from the president. They talk about how the White House press corps has changed in the 10 years since she started covering Trump, reporters’ frustrations with the president’s refusal to answer questions, and the value of asking follow-up questions. Plus, Jon prepares a little roleplay to encourage Collins to give Trump a taste of his own medicine.
