President Donald Trump may soon regret his decision not to attend this year’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner — especially if Saturday Night Live impersonator Alec Baldwin gets his way.
“It’s interesting how there are people who — now that he’s not going to the White House Correspondents’ Dinner — there are people lobbying to play Trump,” Baldwin said.
During an appearance on Wednesday’s Jimmy Kimmel Live, Baldwin hinted that he is angling to fill in for Trump at the annual press gala on Saturday, April 29.
In recent years, the White House Correspondents’ Dinner has been hosted by The Nightly Show‘s Larry Wilmore (2016), Saturday Night Live‘s Cecily Strong (2015), Community‘s Joel McHale (2014) and TBS funnyman Conan O’Brien (2013).
