If you combined the Emmy Awards, the Grammys, the Oscars and the Kardashians what would you get?
A who’s who of the red carpet. From Kate Hudson to Elle MacPherson, Reece Witherspoon and Lindsay Lohan, have a look who was rocking the red carpet at the 2012 annual White House Correpondents’ Dinner:

Kate Hudson
On to other news from the night….
He sings, he dances, he runs one of the biggest superpowers in the world … and he cracks some sublime jokes at his own expense.
And the expense of his political opponents, friends, family and the White House press corp.
This is, of course, the annual White House Correpondents’ Dinner and it’s funnier than it has ever been.
Our favourite line: “Jimmy Kimmel got his start on The Man Show. In Washington that’s what we call a congressional hearing on contraception.”
He even went so far as to joke about the revelations he ate dog meat as a kid growing up in Indonesia.
“What’s the difference between a hockey mum and a pit bull?” he asked the crowd, referring to his 2008 campaign joke that backfired where he originally said the answer was ‘lipstick’, referring to Sarah Palin. This time he said: “Pit bulls are delicious.”
But really, just watch the President in full flight here:
And then watch host Jimmy Kimmel’s main performance:
And if you’re up for it, here is last year’s performance delivered just a day before Obama gave the order to raid Osama bin Laden’s hideout.

In the 1970 s my sister and i went to a wihegt loss clinic Professional Reducing Centers , this sounds identical to it, i took pill form, my sister took injections, is this similar, we exercised extensively and ate nothing but chicken.

Wow – looking though those photos – how do you get an invitation to this gig? Seems an invite was given to anyone famous – the Kardashians? Lindsay Lohan? What?

Oh goodness this is so funny. The best I’ve ever seen Obama. It’s clear he writes a lot of his own material. Razor sharpwit – so, so good.

I might be stupid but I don’t get this: “Jimmy Kimmel got his start on The Man Show. In Washington that’s what we call a congressional hearing on contraception.”
Is he saying he was not sexy? Or you wouldn’t like to have a son like him?

It’s a dig at the fact most of the politicians so eager to control or curtail women’s reproductive rights in the US are usually men. Men in congress. Hence the Man Show

Jimmy Kimmel is hysterical. love him.

quite funny, but at some point it’s going to go too far. Yes, he’s funny, yes, he sings and dances, but he IS the President, there does need to be a line drawn re the familiarity and jokiness. I highlight the toilet flushing in the beginning (not particularly Presidential), some bits made me cringe a bit.
But then I do appreciate the need for humour, fun and for him to relax, I just don’t think it should be public.

I love Obama too – but really – all that material is written for him, by some no doubt amazingly talented comedy writers.
loading...
I think half the fun is watching him deliver it out loud … there’s some pretty self deprecating humour in there! Having said that, he writes a lot of his stuff himself. I wouldn’t be surprised if he at least contributed to some of the gags in this.

I’d be very suprised if he took the time. For an event like this even Jimmy Kimmel’s jokes would have been written by more than just him.

Gotta love American Politics, I get my fix watching the Colbert Report run rings around the American Pollies, the Republican Race was perfect for comedians, it is refreshing to see Obama bring humour into this upcoming race, and I look for to this next Race.

Search on Youtube Colbert’s White House Correpondents’ Dinner speech for George W Bush.
It’s a killer.

My favourite by far.

Seth Meyers’ performance last year was brutal as well.
I thought Jimmy was a bit lame in comparrison. Obama is still on fire though.

Wish our politians had such a good sense of humor.

I have a thumping great crush on him now.

Hillary won’t stop “drunk texting” me ???????
Not funny.

I’m glad you cleared that up. I was wondering what to think

I don’t believe you.

I love Obama.
