Obama and Seth Meyers headline
Politics and Hollywood collide again at tonight's annual White House Correspondents' Association Dinner. The event has evolved into a star-studded affair as celebrities descend upon Washington, joining journalists and President Obama.
This year's comedian headliner, Saturday Night Live's Seth Meyers, is charged with the task of poking fun at the President and Washington politics.
Each year, the President uses the occasion to show a more humorous side as well, making fun of himself and the people who cover him.
The purpose of the annual dinner is “to raise money for WHCA scholarships and honor the professional recipients of the WHCA's journalism awards," according to the White House Correspondents' Association (WHCA) website.
C‑SPAN begins tonight’s live coverage with the red carpet arrivals at 6:45pm EST. See complete coverage at C‑SPAN's White House Correspondents' Dinner webpage.

Full program expected to start at approximately 9:45pm ET
No clue - watching the race. Just switched over for a couple of minutes and happened to catch the bit about Trump and the camera panned over to him and he didn’t even crack a smile.
I didn’t hear her mentioned once.
I don’t know exactly how much Trump is worth, but I suspect it’s a good bet that you don’t make him a laughingstock to his face, and not invite some serious and well-thought-out counterstrokes.
Trump is a lot of things but I don’t think “stupid” and “passive” is among them. He will not simply sit there and take this.
Start popping the popcorn. This may be very, very entertaining.
Democrat President, all jokes about Republicans.
Remember, that room full of Obama worshipers are the ones dispersing “information” to the masses.
Goebbels is smiling, he taught them well.
I just read that the White House states it had requested a copy of the short form...but got the COLB. It just goes on and on....and these miscreants at their party tonight don’t have the minerals to ask barry what to the hell is going on. Party on. I’ve never seen an entire profession choose to make themselves irrelevant like these pricks.

It was something to do with John Kyl and some agency (”He told me 90% of what they do is abortions”). Even the lady on the dais on Meyers’ left side didn’t laugh. Abortion is only joke material to monsters.
ahaha. you like wigs, huh? She has quite a collection.
She looked ridiculous.
Sarah Palin was viciously attacked without her name being mentioned on 1 occasion, then had her name mentioned 1 other time.
What Jon Kyl said about NPR..........
not a joke.........most of what this guy said fell pretty flat.
Roast various journalists
Roast Americans who don't believe OBie is a natural born citizen
Roast Tea Party
Roast Joe Biden - in place of roasting Obie...
Moochie looked like some linebacker sized drag queen
Exactly!
“Trump is in the audience. He wants to see the turd he going to beat by 20 points”
Good one.
They think they were hurting him tonight, but they made him a sympathetic character.
The only joke I found mildly funny was the MSNBC kool-aid joke. He probably ripped it off from somebody here on FR!
I did enjoy the snark at Brian Williams... well deserved
