Jimmy Kimmel Hosting White House Correspondents’ Dinner
8:52 am, November 1st, 2011
Jimmy Kimmel will host the 2012 White House Correspondents’ Dinner, the annual star-studded night when comedians take jabs at President Obama and other political figures.
In a statement, the late-night TV personality said he looked forward to the occasion, joking, “I love dinner.”
“Jimmy’s humor is sophisticated and edgy while appealing to a wide audience,” said White House Correspondents’ Association president Caren Bohan. “We are thrilled that Jimmy has accepted our invitation to be the featured comedian at our annual dinner.”
“Saturday Night Live” player Seth Meyers had hosting duties last April, using the platform to blast then-possible presidential candidate Donald Trump.
Other recent emcees have included Jay Leno and Stephen Colbert, who infamously mocked an unamused President Bush.
The Kimmel dinner is set to take place on April 28, 2012.
