"The correspondents dinner, I think I did it one year. They used to have comedians. By the way, I said that because I got sh*t about it, everybody, every comedian gets sh*t about, it's the worst gig in the world, because half the people in the audience are Republican, half the Democrats, you're going to insult anybody no matter what they say."
"Just get a magician. Just get somebody who doesn't do political. They're always trying to get the political, and it's like the worst thing."
"I mean, a plane landed on the White House lawn. I didn't even know U.S. Air flew to Washington. And the weird part is the luggage went to the Lincoln Memorial."

Maher recalled headlining a different dinner in 1995, noting how the nature of jokes has changed over the years. He expressed curiosity about President Trump's attendance at the upcoming dinner and the potential dynamics it would create.
