Comedian Amber Ruffin pulled from White House Correspondents' Dinner

Amber Ruffin's slated performance at next month's White House Correspondents' Dinner has been canceled, the group's president announced Saturday.

In an email to members, White House Correspondents Association President Eugene Daniels said that the WHCA board had "unanimously decided we are no longer featuring a comedic performance this year."

The Emmy-nominated Ruffin — a longtime writer and performer on "Late Night with Seth Meyers," among numerous other credits, including "A Black Lady Sketch Show" — had already been announced by the WHCA in early February as the featured entertainment for the April 26 dinner.
