2024 Dinner Features Jokes and Jabs on Politics and Culture
The star-studded White House Correspondents Dinner made its grand return on Saturday, April 29, 2024, at the Washington Hilton. The event, hosted by comedian Colin Jost, celebrated the First Amendment and freedom of the press, with attendees including President Joe Biden and a myriad of media personalities.
The dinner is traditionally an occasion for both humor and reflection. Jost's opening monologue set the tone for the evening, poking fun at politicians, celebrities, and the media itself. However, the event also served as a reminder of the importance of free speech and the role of journalists in holding power accountable.
This year's dinner was particularly notable for its diverse and high-profile guest list. In addition to President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, attendees included numerous cabinet members, members of Congress, and media executives. The red carpet was filled with celebrities and influencers, adding to the star power of the occasion.
For those unable to watch the dinner live, C-Span made the full event available for free viewing after the broadcast. NBC News also provided coverage of the festivities.
