White House Correspondents' Dinner Viewing Guide: Jost, Biden & More!
Here's how to watch tonight's White House Correspondents’ Dinner (WHCD), with Saturday Night Live star Colin Jost set to headline the event.
Okay, just because we're not getting NBC's Saturday Night Live officially back until next weekend (with host & musical guest Dua Lipa) doesn't mean we can't expect a little "Weekend Update" vibe when SNL star Colin Jost headlines tonight's White House Correspondents' Dinner (WHCD). Tonight's annual get-together of some of the biggest names in politics, journalism, entertainment, and more, this year's WHCD is getting as much buzz for what "Comedian-in-Chief" President Joseph Biden has to say about ex-reality show host & multi-impeached ex-POTUS Donald Trump and the Republican Party as Jost has been getting. Since the vast majority of us can't be there in person, here's what you need to know about how to watch, who's going to be there, and more.
When Do The Festivities Begin? The WHCD will broadcast/stream live on a number of outlets and online (more on that in a minute) beginning at 8 pm ET/5 pm PT.
Who's Expected to Be There? Along with Jost and President Biden, First Lady Dr. Jill Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff, Scarlett Johansson, Chris Pine, Da'Vine Joy Rudolph, Jon Hamm, Rosario Dawson, Andrew McCarthy, Hiro Sanada, Sonequa Martin-Green, Molly Ringwald, Rachel Brosnahan, Keri Russell, Rufus Sewell, SAG-AFTRA President Fran Drescher, SAG-AFTRA National Executive Director Duncan Crabtree-Ireland, and others are expected to be in attendance. For those of you who need a refresher, here are random samplings of Jost's style of humor – enjoy!
