Cecily Strong Scores Big Role: White House Correspondents Dinner Host

Posted Wednesday November 19, 2014 9:23 AM GMT

Making big moves in her career, Cecily Strong scored the hosting gig for the 2015 White House Correspondents Association dinner.

In addition to the big stage, Cecily is also part of an elite group of women (only three others) to host the politically-driven event.

In its 82 years of existence, only three other women hosted the event. Those women include Paula Poundstone, Elayne Boosler and Wader Sykes.

WHCA president Christi‎ Parsons told press that she chose Strong to host the 2015 event because, “Her political humor is sly and edgy, and it comes with a Chicago accent.”

Strong will take the stage on April 25 in Washington, D.C.
