VIDEO: Conan O'Brien Roasts the Media at White House Correspondents' Dinner
Last night, late-night host Conan O'Brien headlined the White House Correspondents' Dinner in Washington D.C., marking the second time the comedian hosted the event. Check out his 30-minute opening remarks below, where he roasts CNN and Congress.
Known for his spontaneous hosting style, which has been characterized as "awkward, self-deprecating humor," O'Brien's late-night programs combine the "lewd and wacky with more elegant, narrative-driven short films (remotes)."
He has hosted Conan since 2010 and has also hosted such events as The Emmy Awards and Christmas in Washington. O'Brien has been the subject of a documentary, Conan O'Brien Can't Stop (2011), and has also hosted a 32-city live comedy tour. He last hosted the White House Correspondent's dinner in 1995.
