Amber Ruffin on the White House Correspondents’ Dinner

  • Summary

  • The Last Laugh listeners, please enjoy this excerpt from the latest episode of The Daily Beast Podcast! Comedian Amber Ruffin joined hosts Joanna Coles and Samantha Bee to talk about how she planned to pregame for comedy’s toughest gig and least receptive audience, and the challenge of roasting both sides in D.C. Shortly after this interview dropped, the White House Correspondents’ Association fired Ruffin as host of its annual dinner—and now won’t be having a comedian performer at all.
