Colin Jost, 'Weekend Update' co-anchor on 'Saturday Night Live', is set to perform at the 2024 White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner on April 27.

The event is a notable fundraiser that contributes to scholarships for aspiring journalism students and typically features the president and first lady.

Jost is expected to infuse the event with humor amidst the current political environment, continuing the legacy of past entertainers like Trevor Noah and Stephen Colbert.

WHCA president Kelly O’Donnell anticipates Jost's comedy to resonate well with the occasion, amid a politically charged atmosphere.

President Joe Biden plans to attend, highlighting the dinner's role in celebrating the freedom of the press.

Jost's selection marks the first time a 'Weekend Update' anchor will headline the event since Seth Meyers in 2011, during a particularly contentious election cycle.
