White House Correspondents' Dinner
As Craig Ferguson prepares the quips for this weekend's White House Correspondents' Dinner, a look back at the comics who have scored, and bombed, at the annual Beltway bash
In a clear reaction against the Colbert dust-up, the dinner opts to play it safe with the Carson-era impressionist. He even recycles his old Carson impression, along with the usual lineup of past Presidents. Appearing just a few days after the Virginia Tech massacre, Bush is subdued: "I'm not gonna try to be the funny guy."
