(CNN) This year's White House correspondents dinner featured a deeply satirical edge and a variety of voices in an evening of provocative political humor. Comedian Michelle Wolf, best known for her contributions on "The Daily Show," headlined the event, unleashing an unusually biting and raunchy routine. Representing him at Saturday night's dinner, which raises money for scholarships, was White House press secretary Sarah Sanders. Sanders, who was seated at the main table just a few feet from Wolf, drew some of the harshest jokes of the evening from the comedian. The dinner, referred to in some circles as "nerd prom," brings together journalists and government officials to celebrate the First Amendment.
