New York(CNN Business)With a presidential dust-up over dinner hour entertainment in the rear view mirror, the White House Correspondents' Association is returning to form and inviting a comedian to roast the president and the press at an annual awards gala this spring.
Hasan Minhaj, who performed at the dinner in 2017, will return for this year's event on Saturday, April 25, 2020.
The association also announced a comedian as the host for the evening: Kenan Thompson.

It is fun to see that word used here.
