The White House Correspondents' Dinner is an annual event held in Washington, D.C., where journalists, politicians, and celebrities gather to celebrate the work of the press. It typically takes place in late April and features a formal dinner, speeches, and entertainment. The event aims to promote a free press and foster relationships between the media and government officials. The dinner is organized by the White House Correspondents' Association, which represents journalists covering the U.S. President and the White House. A notable aspect of the evening is the comedic monologue delivered by the sitting president, along with performances by guest comedians, making it a blend of humor and political commentary.
