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.

Oh yeah .. that’s definitely a tactic .. ridicule, sarcasm = Alinsky all the way.
I detest him as well.
Making fun of Trump now.
Trump not laughing.
0 has the balls to mention no experience to Trump? Businessman vs community organizer. What an a**.
What do you mean “you’ll”? You’re not gonna vote unless Donald runs?
Total ... and vicious.
This TOTUS bit is stooooopid.
How dare Donald Trump ask a question? You would think this was a free country or something.
Donald has crawled up inside Oboingo’s head and owns it rent free. You better believe that Axelrod and Oboingo ....The last man they want to run against is Donald Trump.
O’s jokes are so lame. He is no comedian.
It’s not the real document.
It would not have said “African” for the race of the father in 1961. No way.
Let’s see the original, complete document.
Honey...I don’t have TV. :( Not your problem I know but can’t ‘critique’ right now.
Maybe someone can post transcript?
xxoo
You’re funny. I might actually support Trump. If he runs as a democrat against Obama in the primaries. :-)
Yep, he spent a bit too much time on Donald. Trump must love it.
that was original!
Moochelle looks like she should be standing on a street corner.
Sorry I’m not into conspiracy theories. That’s for kooks.
I hope Trump now goes after O hammer and tong.
No reason to hold back anything now.
21 months remain in his term—think America can survive that long?
Oh...I am with you. Evil, evil, evil. Did you see how Trump looked when Obama focused on him? Can’t wait to hear his reply.
I’m a conservative. I support conservatives. Donald Trump is no conservative. Getting in Obama’s face over a conspiracy theory does not equal being a conservative.
I can’t wait to see Trump’s tax returns.
