Trevor Noah, host of "The Daily Show" on Comedy Central, will be the featured entertainer when the White House Correspondents' Association hosts its first annual dinner since 2019 on April 30, the association announced Monday.

For the past century, the annual dinner has brought together journalists and government officials -- along with an array of celebrities -- to celebrate press freedom and poke fun at one another.

President Donald Trump snubbed the gathering, traditionally attended by presidents and first ladies, during the first three years of his tenure, and the last two gatherings were canceled amid the pandemic.

"Trevor is an incredible talent who keeps us laughing -- and thinking -- four nights a week," Steven Portnoy of CBS News Radio, the association's president, said in statement, referencing Noah's Comedy Central show. "We can't wait for him to help bring our 100-year Washington tradition 'Back to Abnormal.'"
