CNN’s Zucker: WHCA entertainer ‘killed it’
CNN president Jeff Zucker was spotted praising Comedy Central’s Hasan Minhaj following the comedian’s roast of President Trump and members of the media on Saturday night.
“You killed it!” Zucker reportedly told Minhaj, who incorporated a series of jabs at CNN and other networks in his White House Correspondents’ Association dinner speech.

{mosads}The “Daily Show” correspondent’s joke about CNN dealt with the channel calling everything it airs “breaking news.”
“Every time a story breaks you guys go to nine screens. I’m trying to watch the news, not pick a player in Street Fighter,” Minhaj joked.
