After the White House whined like babies about Michelle Wolf‘s jokes during the White House Correspondents’ Dinner on Saturday, late night hosts posed a simple question to the Donald Trump administration: WTF did y’all expect!?
Seth Meyers, Stephen Colbert, and Trevor Noah defended their fellow comedian on Monday night, all noting that Wolf should not draw criticism for doing exactly what the White House hired her to do.
On Late Night, Meyers — who hosted the WHCD himself years ago — admitted Trump was right in calling Wolf “filthy,” because someone being filthy and mean are “wonderful qualities for a comedian and terrible qualities for free world leaders.” Snap!

Over on The Daily Show, where Wolf was a correspondent until last December, Noah addressed Wolf’s widely-criticised jokes about Sarah Huckabee Sanders, quipping that she “should have had the decency to not comment on women’s appearances” because “she’s a comedian├óΓé¼┬ª not the president.” Double snap!
Colbert actually spoke from both sides of the political ring on The Late Show. After telling the White House to “grow a pair,” he launched into his conservative Comedy Central alter-ego to chastise Wolf for besmirching “the okay name of Sarah Huckabee Sanders.” Ha!
