Last night was the White House Correspondent’s Dinner, where journalists, politicians, and the media come together and, in many cases, get laughed at by the President and a comedian headliner. This year’s headliner was Conan O’Brien, the former Late Night and Tonight Show host who now hosts a show on TBS, Conan. Before the headliner, the President comes up and tells some jokes of his own. President Obama over the past few years has shown a fondness for using video to make jokes. This year, he announced that Steven Spielberg, inspired by the success of the film, Lincoln, is making a new movie, Obama. The film has Daniel Day Lewis portraying the President and Tracy Morgan playing Vice President Biden. President Obama appeared as Day Lewis, who they said was a method actor. Later on, Conan O’Brien also announced a new film about Washington politics, this time having the Vice President portrayed by Bob Barker.
