On Saturday night, attendees at the annual White House Correspondents Dinner will thrill to the antics of Oz Pearlman, a renowned mentalist who dazzles audiences with mind-reading tricks. On Friday night, they partied as if they were going to see Amber Ruffin.
Ruffin, a popular comedian whose appearance at the 2025 WHCD was scotched after she angered the White House with some podcast remarks in which she called the Trump administration “kind of a bunch of murderers,” would certainly be out of place at this year’s event, which is expected to feature remarks from President Trump himself — the first time in either of his two terms he’s agreed to appear. So dinner attendees making their way across various Friday-night events tied to the annual “nerd prom” used the celebrations to vent some of their anxieties.
