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
With all that time spent on bad Trump jokes, he must REALLY be afraid of the guy.
Now schooling the journalists on how to be journalists.
In other words, thanks for being such good kneepadders.
Thankfully, he’s finished his “speech”.
Now up, Seth Meyers of SNL.
This is really awful. Not funny, making fun of everyone but himself in a vicious way - just weird. And now giving a speech. I think he’s cracking up.
I didn’t see Trump’s face .. what was the look ?
Material written by Bill Ayers
She looks like Diana Ross in “Lady Sings the Blues” coming off heroin. Disgusting!
You have that right.
But perhaps he can do yet the country a service, while he stalks for Hillary.
Why would he be worried about Trump? The GOP won’t be stupid enough to nominate him.
What possessed Americans to vote for this idiot chile? All the presstitutes leaping to their feet to applaud Oboingo.
**** How heavy was Oboingo’s makeup troweled on tonite. He has a big gaping smile like a runway model
Just kept nodding his head with closed mouth. He was not amused.
Sorry, nothing to comment on the non-event WHCAD!!! Who cares? No one in the country is watching. I’ll bet the TV viewership numbers stink. I tuned in for one minute saw Michelle, the ugly, and all those elite dirt bags in one room and turned it off!!!
Seth is hysterical.
Ouch. MSNBC joke.
They showed Trump from the side.
Not laughing at all. Lots of folks from surrounding tables looking directly at him while he was being “roasted”.
Hope he is now determined to unmask the usurper.
The only service he’s doing is embarrassing the GOP. Can’t wait for the Celebrity Apprentice to be over so he can go away.
Loved Seth Meyers joke about MSNBC - Obama makes the kool-aid and everyone drinks it. Didn’t get a lot of laughs, I wonder why. Hit to close to home?
I hear you!
Just doing this as a public service for posterity.
Thank you.
The MSNBC got a lot of laughs over here!!
With all that time spent on bad Trump jokes, he must REALLY be afraid of the guy.>>>>>>
Yup him and Axelrod and effin Soros live in fear of only one Republican candidate. Trump being there tonite is another indication Trump is running for president
Man, he’s being harsh against the liberal MSM. I love it.
Conspiracy theory? Naw.
But I know what the official race designations were for Hawaii in 1961, and “African” wasn;t one of them.
So how does a copy of a supposed original 1961 document have that designation?
It cannot. So, it’s fake. And it is in our face.
