White House Correspondents' Dinner
Eine nachahmenswerte Tradition, Redner in den letzten Jahren u.a. Jay Leno, Al Franken, Conan O'Brien, Craig Ferguson:
| Zitat: | The White House Correspondents' Association
(WHCA) is an organization of journalists who cover the President of the United States. The WHCA was founded in 1914 by journalists in response to an unfounded rumor that a Congressional committee would select which journalists could attend press conferences of President Woodrow Wilson.[1] Among the issues handled by the WHCA are press access to the President and physical conditions in White House press briefing rooms.
...
Prior to World War II, the annual dinner featured singing between courses, a homemade movie and an hour-long, post-dinner show with big-name performers."[1] In recent years the featured speaker has often been a comedian, with the dinner taking on the form of a roast, especially of the President.

Legendär der Auftritt 2006 von Stephen Colbert:

| Zitat: |
Colbert's performance quickly became an Internet and media sensation. Subsequent coverage has seen commentators debate the stand-alone humor content of Colbert's performance, the political nature of his remarks, and whether there was an intentional cover-up by the media in the reporting on the routine. Time's James Poniewozik noted that "days after Stephen Colbert performed at the White House Correspondents' Dinner, this has become the political-cultural touchstone issue of 2006—like whether you drive a hybrid or use the term 'freedom fries'."[8] Writing six months later, New York Times columnist Frank Rich called Colbert's after-dinner speech a "cultural primary" and christened it the "defining moment" of the United States' 2006 midterm elections. |
