The White House Correspondents' Dinner, an annual gathering of journalists and politicians, made its much-anticipated return on Saturday, April 29, after a two-year hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The event, held at the Washington Hilton, featured a star-studded lineup that included President Joe Biden, First Lady Jill Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, and Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff.
The dinner, organized by the White House Correspondents' Association, serves as a platform for humor and commentary on the political landscape. In his remarks, President Biden poked fun at himself and his administration, while also emphasizing the importance of a free and independent press.
Comedian Trevor Noah, known for his incisive humor and sharp observations, hosted the event and delivered a monologue that tackled everything from the ongoing war in Ukraine to the recent Twitter takeover by Elon Musk.
Other notable guests included former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, former White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, and CNN anchor Anderson Cooper. The dinner also featured performances by comedian Roy Wood Jr. and singer Ben Platt.
The White House Correspondents' Dinner has a long and storied history, dating back to 1921. Over the years, it has become a must-attend event for those in politics, media, and entertainment. The return of the dinner after a two-year absence was met with great anticipation and excitement from both attendees and the public alike.
