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

Jeez, only 9PM and it feels like 2AM.
Really ?? Fantastic ! Sean Penn, Rahm Emanuel ??
Where will the pix be ?? God bless the FR Chapter!
Don’t care for the messy styling of her hair... looks like something a young woman wears out to a club, not something befitting a First Lady..IMHO. Her hairstyle from last year’s dinner was much more appropriate.
I wonder what is on the menu. Would like to know since Michelle has been on a tear to tell all of us what to eat.
Bush making fun of himself at his last dinner. Too funny.
Pres. Bush — replay of White Correspondents’ Dinner when he was President (those sane days, remember ?) on NOW at
the year he had his impersonator with him.
This is hysterical.
I read earlier today that Sarah and Todd Palin were at Tammy Haddad’s WHC brunch as Greta Von Susteren’s guests today. I wonder if they’re showing up for this too.

They showed Sarah walking in earlier...but didn’t mention who invited her, at least not that I saw.
I cannot be the only one that remembers or is paying attention.
Won’t be watching that travesty!!!!!!!!!!!!
That’s when I wish someone had hired a lipreader .. LOL ..
The other side of her hair looks cute. This side of the face does look sloppy .. not cute.
Darrell Issa’s there. Saw Bob Gates, David Gregory. Now guy from Glee.
I think a First Lady should be more polished. The messy look is fine for young people and maybe the Hollywood crowd.
No kidding .. likely at at another fundraising
event for epilesy? Wouldn’t surprise me if he repeated
himself. Supposedly, that took place at Tammy Haddad’s annual pre WHCD event .. fundraiser.
What the hell was that?????????????????
I missed what was going on thry “I am a real American.”
