." >> sreenivasan: and the featured entertainer, "daily show" comedian hasan minhaj, joked about the absence of the usual guest of honor. >> the leader of our country is not here. and that's because he lives in moscow. it's a very long flight. it'd be a hard for vlad to make it. vlad can't just make it on a saturday; it's a saturday. as for the other guy, i think he is in pennsylvania because he can't take a joke. >> sreenivasan: the trump administration said today it's willing to pay the billion dollar price tag for a new missile defense system the u.s. is deploying in south korea, but that the deal could be renegotiated. for now, national security adviser h. r. mcmaster told his south korean counterpart in a phone call, the u.s. will honor the agreement reached during the obama administration. just three days ago, president trump said he wanted south korea to foot the bill for the" terminal high-altitude area defense system," known as" thaad." hundreds of residents from the village where the thaad missile defense system will be deployed protested the installation. they blocked army

this is the comedian hasan minhaj from comedy central who was booked sort of at the last moment to speakent. >> i would say it is an honor to be here but that would be an alternative fact. it is not. no one wanted to do this so of course, it hands in the hands of an immigrant. it's how it always goes down. no one wanted this gig. no one. >> as you can imagine, being a muslim, there were a lot of muslim jokes, as well. he took down all of us in the media, all of the networks, the cable networks and also president trump. well received in the room. very edgy. >> uh-huh. >> but again, the president's war with washington and the media is, i mean, you see it from the white house perspective. it is tense going. >> it's very tense going. >> you guys have a lot more access than we've had with previous presidents. >> i've said this is a very paradoxical white house. he vilifies the media and uses them as a foil. in harrisburg, he talked about the failing "new york times" at some length. yet, we feel we do get access to him. he speaks to our reporters and speaks during pool appearances. he spoke to

this year's "the daily show" correspondent hasan minhaj took the hosting deduties. >> we've got to addressthe room. [ laughter ] . >> the leader of our country is not here. that's because he lives in moscow. it's a very long flight. it would be hard for vlad to make it. vlad cannot make it. as for the president, he's in pennsylvania because he can't take a joke. >> that was very funny over the weekend but so many comedians didn't want to take the job. alec baldwin wanted it. and then they didn't want him. james cordon said he didn't. this was a hard job to actually take. they didn't want to make it too political. of course, it becomes very political. anyway, as we mentioned president trump was not in attendance. he held a rally, in harrisburg, pennsylvania where he criticized the media giving them a failing grade in honesty. >> they are gathered together for the white house correspondents' dinner without the president. and i could not possibly be more thrilled than to be more than 100 miles away from washington swamp. spending my evening with all of you and with a much, much larger crowd a
