YouTube Description
as posted by the channelIt's time for the annual White House Correspondents Association Dinner at the Washington Hilton.
But this year: No comedian.
Which means: No jokes about C-SPAN … or about the Washington Hilton.
In the past, at every dinner, there seemed to be at least one joke made about one or the other ... or sometimes both in the same joke — Like Conan O'Brien pulled off in 2013...
Congratulations to C-SPAN for winning the bid to broadcast this event. They narrowly beat out HGTVQ, TV South America and the Hilton hotel how to check out channel.
C-SPAN doesn't mind the ribbing.
In fact, we did a podcast two years ago with the best-of jokes comedians told at the dinner ... about C-SPAN.
We imagine the Washington Hilton can take a joke, too.
So, in tribute to the hotel being a long-time central gathering spot for the political and media community — a true DC institution — and as a public service to those who still want to hear dinner jokes — this week's episode of C-SPAN's podcast "The Weekly" is equal parts history and loving roast ... We celebrate the hotel's 60th anniversary by presenting jokes told about it - by a group of people you won't hear at this year's dinner: professional comedians.
