This year’s White House Correspondents Dinner will not only see Trump absent yet again because he’s a thin skinned wimp, but will feature a historian in place of a comedian who, we would bet, won’t attempt a comedic roast, per the well established tradition of the White House Press Association’s WHCD.

So, Samantha Bee and her team at Full Frontal will continue their tradition of the Not The White House Correspondents Dinner this Sat. night, Apr. 27th at 10PM on TBS, which will make up for the WHCD likely being reduced to a TED talk. In fact, Bee even assembled some historians and had them roast Trump because, well, it seems as though history is not of huge fan of Trump either.

Though the administrations of Nixon, FDR, Clinton, Reagan, Wilson, JFK, Truman, and more didn’t get the barbs of a White House Correspondents Dinner of the 21st century, Full Frontal with Samantha Bee made sure to dream up what that might be like for the #NotTheWHCD event this weekend. Bee was in proper period comedian attire and had plenty of references we hope you don’t have to look up.

Also, looking to the future, Bee and co. imagined, at the end of that segment, what a White House Correspondents Dinner would be with Pence as the POTUS (assuming Trump is out of office soon) or what an alternate future WHCD would be had Hillary Clinton won last year’s election.

Overall, Bee made good on having an alternative to the WHCD, though Hasan Minhaj did an amazing job as WHCD host, and, additionally, raised over $200K for the Committee to Protect Journalists. Perhaps, a new annual tradition has been born?

Tonight, tune in at 10PM on TBS or 8PM PST on a Twitter livestream (with a 6PM PST red carpet) for Samantha Bee and Full Frontal doing their own White House roast, The Not The White House Correspondents Dinner.

Nothing like this has been really done as other presidents, even Bush, show up to the White House Correspondents Dinner and make that spectacle enough for the weekend.

It would be great to see if the ratings for both Sam Bee’s Not The White House Correspondents Dinner and the actual WHCD with host Hasan Minhaj got “fantastic ratings”, partially because Trump wasn’t there.
