In the past, White House Correspondents’ Dinners have been hosted by left-leaning comedians such as Larry Wilmore, Wanda Sykes, and Stephen Colbert. With President Donald Trump’s upcoming April 29 dinner already eliciting boycotts from the New Yorker and Vanity Fair — plus a “protest” event hosted by comedian Samantha Bee on the same night — the event is certainly not poised to be the typical elitist D.C. affair.

As the new president bucks political trends, this year’s event could be the perfect opportunity for a right-leaning comedian to take the emcee position for the night. Here’s five conservative comedians who could humorously scold D.C. — if given the chance.

Dennis Miller is considered one of the greatest comedians of all time. Comedy Central listed him as the 21st best stand-up comedian in a 2014 list. Vulture.com also ranked him as the best host of “Weekend Update” on “Saturday Night Live.” Miller’s conservative leanings have come to light in the latter part of his career as he regularly hosts segments on “The O’Reilly Factor” on Fox News, in which he takes on Hollywood and the political elite with his sharp wit. He’d be a perfect host for the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. He’d take shots at the D.C. and media elite in attendance — and would be hilarious doing so.

Rob Schneider knows what it’s like to be attacked by the Left. After sending a tweet to Rep. John Lewis questioning the Democrat congressman’s decision to skip Donald Trump’s inauguration, Schneider was taken to task by the mainstream media and liberal keyboard warriors. The comedian stood his ground, as he always has when taking on politics.

Schneider has hilariously put Democrats in his sights before, most memorably tearing apart the Left’s obsession with Russia’s “hacking” of the election. Schneider would easily take on the elites of D.C. and Hollywood, and he’s got the comic chops to bring the funny, too.

Norm MacDonald has a brilliant, dry comedic style that would be perfect for these politically polarizing times. The comedian has defended Trump on occasion through Twitter, and actually has experience with White House Correspondents’ Dinners. His roasting of former President Bill Clinton at the 1997 dinner was a hilarious routine — MacDonald took on both Democrats and Republicans and pushed the boundaries in terms of how far a comedian was willing to go in front of a sitting president.

“I thought it was refreshing for Democrats to serve something other than subpoenas for a change,” joked MacDonald. While many in the room merely responded with awkwardness and discomfort, the act is worth watching — and it was hilarious for voters who were looking for someone to skewer backroom-dealing politicians with humor.

Steven Crowder is not as well-known as the others on this list and he’s far more political, but he knows humor all the same. The young comic’s material comes from his conservative beliefs, which make him a unique comic. He’d surely be the emcee to give the harshest — and funniest — ribbing to elites everywhere.

Jay Leno did something modern-day late-night hosts seem to have an inability to do — he took on both sides of the political aisle in his comedy. He was more even-handed in his political digs than current hosts like Stephen Colbert and Samantha Bee could ever dream to be. He’s also a class act and a pro at stand-up. He’d be a fitting pick for the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, and it would be refreshing to see the retired “Tonight Show” host doing what he does best again — make us laugh.
