I've never liked Wilmore, even when he was a correspondent on the Daily show.

Here's a podcast from last week where two former Obama speechwriters talk about the process of writing the Correspondent's Dinner speech.

Favourite story from the podcast is when they're talking about waiting outside the Oval Office and stressing about the speech as Obama's on the phone with "some General" and then they find out a few weeks later he was on the phone giving the Go for the mission to kill Bin Laden.
