Celebrities, journalists and politicians have descended at the Washington Hilton on Saturday to attend the 2022 White House Correspondents Dinner, which returns after being canceled two years in a row due to the pandemic. 

Reality TV star Kim Kardashian and her boyfriend, Pete Davidson, led the star-studded cast arriving at the gala, with other big names including Drew Barrymore, Martha Stewart, Chris Tucker and Academy Award-winning actor Michael Keaton. 

The White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner serves as a celebration that brings together big names under one roof to take part in jabs and roasts in the otherwise serious Capitol.

For years, comedians have poked fun at political leaders and journalists alike at the Correspondents’ dinner. Previous hosts have included Conan O’Brien, Jimmy Kimmel and Seth Meyers. 

The Daily Show’s Trevor Noah was the first comedian to headline the event since Michelle Wolf in 2018, when she sparked controversy with jokes about the Trump administration. 

The White House Correspondents’ Association previously said that the dinner will offer ‘the first opportunity since 2016 for the press and the president to share a few laughs for a good cause.’ 

Proceeds from the event support the White House press corps’ work, scholarships for aspiring journalists and awards for those in the profession.

The Bidens’ presence at the event is a return to form after former President Donald Trump snubbed the dinner while he was in office. 

Every president since Calvin Coolidge had attended the WHCA’s annual dinner with the exception of Trump. 

Notably missing from this year’s event is Biden’s top COVID health expert, Dr. Anthony Fauci, who said he would skip the event over COVID concerns. 

‘He has made the decision that he wants to attend, in a safe way, the White House Correspondents’ Dinner to show his support, showcase his support for a free press,’ White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said.
