Stand-up comedian tried to poke fun at Michelle Wolf for her controversial White House Correspondence Dinner roast of Sarah Huckabee Sanders, but instead, the tables turned on him.

Wolf left social media in stitches with her witty performance on Saturday night, April 28 when she poked fun at the White House Press Secretary. Nevertheless, there were others who didn’t find her jokes so funny. “Saturday Night Live” alum and leftist Miller, happened to be one of the sticklers who blasted the female comedian for her entertaining performance.

Miller tweeted early Sunday morning, “What a horrid human being Michelle Wolf is… I will have a few brutally mean jokes about her by Wednesday.”

Alternatively, the Internet had a few “brutally mean” jokes of their own to unleash on Miller and his three-day research. He became a trending topic on Twitter…and not in a good way.

Twitter continued to drag Miller and he tried to make light of his roasting by sending out an additional tweet saying, ” I’m working on a comment on me being roasted and I’ll have it for you Thursday” but social media users are refusing to let up. Maybe Miller will think twice before mocking comedian Wolf again.

The ABS Newsletter — Stories that matter, in your inbox.

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
