Actors cheer on Michelle Wolf after the comedian responds to a tweet from the president criticizing his performance at the White House Correspondents Dinner last year.

President Donald Trump on Tuesday described Wolf as a "so-called comedian" who "bombed so much last year" that the White House Correspondents' Association decided to choose its next host outside the world. night comedy and stand-up.

On Monday, the WHCA announced that the 2019 edition would be hosted by author and historian Ron Chernow, author of the biography of Alexander Hamilton who inspired the hit musical. Over the past 20 years, only two non-comics participated in the event: Aretha Franklin in 1999 and Ray Charles in 2003.

On Wednesday, Wolf fired back at Trump, reminding him of his defense of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman following the murder of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi.

"I bet you would be on my side if I had killed a journalist," she wrote, ending with the hashtag "#BeBest", referring to the first lady's campaign against cyberbullying.

Wolf comedy comrades applauded his answer.

"@ michelleisawolf's was so good that you, your staff, and your supporters groaned like little (delusions) for days," Kathy Griffin responded to Trump. "The @whca are a bunch of punk without legs!"

"It looks like it might be time to bring back the dinner of Not The White House correspondents," wrote the "Full Frontal" host, Samantha Bee, who organized her own event when Trump boycotted the first dinner of the correspondents of his presidency in 2017.

"But only if @michelleisawolf prepares a set and learns how to make up my eyes," she added, referring to a joke from Wolf's WHCD series about the White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders, who represented the Trump administration at dinner 2018.

"She's burning facts and then she's using that ash to create a perfect smoke eye," Wolf snapped during his monologue. "Maybe she's born with that, maybe it's lies – it's probably lies."

Stand-up comedian Mike Birbiglia tweeted a list of his thoughts on Wolf's tweet, which called him "the darkest joke", "the truest joke", "the sickest burn" and "classic".

"No way to get over this," writer and comedian Rob Delaney. "Wolf will now be bigger in the warehouse of a rat-infested psyche than his own father.The tweet itself is a double-tap on the chest and the use of the rotten hashtag of his * woman * is her head Michelle Wolf is my boss & I respect her. "

"And now, only one can survive," tweeted veteran night producer Mike Shoemaker, who worked on "Saturday Night Live" as well as "Late Night" for Jimmy Fallon and Seth Meyers. "My money is, as always, on @michelleisawolf."

"And the scene," wrote actor Ken Marino of "Childrens Hospital".

"LA to Vegas" actor Amir Talai has simply responded with a GIF.

The comic Moshe Kasher, whose "Honeymoon Stand Up Special" is running on Netflix, quoted Trump's tweet, saying that if the president tweeted someone, he should at least bother to tag him.
