At this point, it's hard to imagine anyone doesn't remember parts of Michelle Wolf's 2018 speech at the WHCD, where she famously roasted Sarah Sanders and the entire Trump administration.
"I actually really like Sarah. I think she’s very resourceful. She burns facts, and then she uses that ash to create a perfect smoky eye," she said. "Like maybe she’s born with it, maybe it’s lies. It’s probably lies."
Following the dinner, Wolf gave an interview with NPR and said she didn't regret any part of her performance. She explained, "I wouldn't change a single word. I'm very happy with what I said, and I'm glad I stuck to my guns."
Of course, just because there will likely be far fewer jokes at this year's dinner than previous ones, that doesn't mean you can't find some more laughs from years past.
