On Monday, Fox News host Greg Gutfeld said he is taking up President Donald Trump’s proposal for him to host next year’s White House Correspondents Dinner, adding a couple caveats for what it will take for him to do it.
Trump made the suggestion in a Sunday tweet following the White House Correspondents Dinner that comedian Michelle Wolf hosted, which was met with intense criticism for being inappropriate and for the vicious personal attacks on women who are associated with the Trump administration.
Trump tweeted:
While Washington, Michigan, was a big success, Washington, D.C., just didn’t work. Everyone is talking about the fact that the White House Correspondents Dinner was a very big, boring bust…the so-called comedian really “bombed.” @greggutfeld should host next year! @PeteHegseth

Gutfeld indicated that he was accepting Trump’s proposal during Monday’s broadcast of “The Five.” “I am saying yes to the challenge. I will host next year, but not there. We have to do a counter-dinner, maybe do it for police widows. The money goes there & then Trump has to go… it’ll be a gentle roast.”
