Trevor Noah made his debut hosting the annual White House Correspondents’ Dinner, back for the first time in three years after being placed on hiatus due to the pandemic.
Before Noah took to the stage of the charity event, attended by a blend of Washington, DC power brokers and Hollywood heavyweights, a video was shown featuring James Corden.
In the sketch, Corden makes light of the recent news that he’ll be exiting “The Late Late Show” next year by paying a visit to the White House in search of a job.

Corden winds up taking over a press briefing from Press Secretary Jen Psaki, fielding questions from reporters.
Naturally, Corden proves to be a disaster, telling one journalist that “it’s not my place to speak for [the president,]” to which she answers, “Isn’t that literally your job?”

“That’s not my name,” Doocy replies.
“You say your name is not David. I say your name is David,” Corden tells him. “And I’m stood up here and you’re sat down there — unless you wanna be sat at the back with whoever they are.”

WASHINGTON -- Jen Psaki had been White House press secretary less than two weeks when a reporter asked whether Twitter's ban of Donald Trump had made President Joe Biden's life easier.“We don’t spend a lot of time talking about or thinking about President Trump here," she responded, then added for emphasis: “Former President Trump.”It was an early indication of what was to come with this press secretary. Her briefings were professional and typically congenial, but could turn pointed in a hurry.
