Last night C-SPAN aired live footage from the White House Correspondents Dinner from the Hilton Hotel in Washington, DC.
Some of the guests included White House journalists, government officials and celebrities including Sean Penn and Scarlett Johansson, Bradley Cooper, Vampire Diaries stars Nina Dobrev Ian Somerhalder, True Blood stars Anna Paquin, Stephen Moyer and Ryan Kwanten, Chris Colfer, Tyler Perry, Chace Crawford, Tony Romo, Mindy Karling, Modern Family stars Jesse Tyler Ferguson and Ariel Winter, Mila Kunis, Michelle Trachtenberg and many others.
While Hollywood was in full force, it was President Obama and SNL head writer and "Weekend Update" host Seth Meyers that were the highlight of the evening.
Obama started the evening using Hulk Hogan's theme song "Real American" for his entrance. A video played scenes from Rocky and The Karate Kid and showed his birth certificate. His speech was extremely hilarious. He took time to respond to Donald Trump's allegations of him not being a U.S. citizen as well as taking cracks at White House employees. The highlight of the speech for me was Obama made a Tupac and Biggie reference.
Up next was Seth Meyers, who is always funny. No one in the room was safe. he took jabs at Donald Trump and the other potential 2012 potential presidential candidates, NPR, C-SPAN, NBC and MSNBC.
