How to live stream White House Correspondents’ Dinner – unlike Donald Trump, who’s missing the show
US President Donald Trump is snubbing the dinner and show for the second year in a row – but you can watch it here
Want to watch a live stream of the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner? Look no further than this page for the video – in which US President Donald Trump is expected to come in for a severe roasting.
Hosted by The Daily Show‘s Michelle Wolf, the dinner’s entertainment will feature political zingers – many likely to be directed at Trump, who has ducked out for a second year running – being read out to an audience of White House aides and reporters.
The event begins at 9.30pm EST (6.30pm PT, 9.30am HKT) and can be live streamed for free below.
This will be the second White House Correspondents’ Association dinner in a row without the president.
Trump posted on Facebook this past week that he would instead hold a Saturday evening rally in Michigan with his “favourite deplorables” – a term that Democrat Hillary Clinton used in 2016 to describe some of Trump’s campaign supporters.
The Washington dinner, which once attracted Oscar winners and buzzed-about stars, comes as Trump routinely slams reporters as dishonest and their work as “fake news”.
Wolf, who is likely to roast both the president and the press, told CBS’ This Morning Saturday that “I like making fun of people to their face ... more than behind their backs, so it would have been more fun [if Trump were in the audience]”.
