This year’s annual White House Correspondents’ Dinner was hotter than ever when Trevor Noah – famous comedian and former host of *The Daily Show* – took on the role of host. The event, which is an opportunity for reporters, politicians and Hollywood stars to relax after stressful working days, became the center of attention not only because of the participation of powerful figures, but also because of Noah’s “damaging” jokes.

Right from the start, Trevor made the audience laugh by joking about himself: “I was invited here because I have experience satirizing powerful people, and because I am the rare person who is not a target of the FBI.” This statement, although humorous, seemed to be aimed directly at the recent scandals in law enforcement agencies.

Trevor didn’t stop there, moving on to more sensitive topics, including US foreign policy, the response to climate change, and the strained relationship between the White House and the media. “Sometimes I think reporters don’t need answers from the White House anymore, because what they post on social media is even more interesting!” A joke full of hidden meanings about the war between the media and politicians in the digital information age.

However, Trevor did not forget to thank the press for their important role in maintaining transparency and accountability of the government. “You may be the most annoying people in government, but you are the people we can’t do without.”

Trevor Noah’s jokes made the event not only interesting but also meaningful, creating an opportunity for everyone to reflect on the role of the media and politics in society. However, not everyone felt comfortable. Some have argued that Noah “crossed the line” by using this formal dinner to satirize sensitive issues.

However, with his usual charm and wit, Trevor Noah once again proved his talent for delivering laughs, even when sprinkled with a little “spice” of hard-to-swallow truth. This year’s dinner will surely be remembered as one of his most notable appearances.
