Introducing Endless Mode: A New Games & Anime Site from Paste
Washington D.C. press corps members and politicos are going back to the Comedy Central well to find a host for their annual exercise in pretending they don’t all secretly hate each other, the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner. Variety is reporting that The Nightly Show host Larry Wilmore will be following in Stephen Colbert’s (and Joel McHale’s, and Conan O’Brien’s, and Cecily Strong’s) footsteps, wading into the murky satirical trenches to find the exact right balance of “mean, but not too mean” to avoid getting attacked by the crowd and fed into the wide, ever-hungry maw of Antonin Scalia.
