Joel McHale will be the entertainment at this year's WH Correspondents' dinner
2014 WHCA DINNER NEWS
The next White House Correspondents' Dinner will take place on May 3, 2014.
WASHINGTON - The White House Correspondents' Association℠ is pleased to announce that Joel McHale, star of the
NBC series Community, will be the entertainer at the association's Centennial dinner on Saturday, May 3, 2014.
"We’re thrilled that Joel will headline the dinner when we celebrate our centennial," said WHCA President Steven Thomma. " He's sharp, funny, and just the type of comic who can navigate the unique challenge of our dinner, making fun of Democrats, Republicans and especially the news media. Washington can use a little good-natured ribbing."
McHale is a star of the NBC series Community, now in its 5th season. He also satirizes pop culture and current events as the host of E!’s The Soup. He’s appeared in movies as well, and recently finished work on the forthcoming thriller Deliver Us From Evil produced by Jerry Bruckheimer.
Founded in 1914 to represent the White House press corps, the association marks its centennial this year. It works to maintain independent news media coverage of the president, advocating for access, handling logistics for pools of reporters who stay close to the president and those who travel with him, and providing scholarships to journalism students.
The annual dinner is traditionally attended by the President and First Lady as well as many other senior government officials and members of the press corps. Proceeds from the dinner go toward scholarships for aspiring journalists and awards recognizing excellence in the profession.
