Last night was the White House Correspondents Dinner, also known as “Nerd prom”/”#nerdprom” or “Washington’s Worst Night Of The Year.” Still, President Obama, as well as the White House Correspondents Association and emcee Conan O’Brien, had some fun. For instance, Obama’s entrance music was DJ Khaled’s “All I Do Is Win” (featuring Ludacris, Rick Ross, T-Pain, and Snoop)—the President said, “Rush Limbaugh warned you about this—second term, baby.” He added, “My advisors were a little…

We like Conan O’Brien. But we still hate the White House Correspondents Association Dinner.

Wale and Miguel serenaded the audience with “Lotus Flower Bomb” on Conan last night. It was adequate, but hardly a #classictvappearance.

Twitter is absolutely freaking out right now about Conan O’Brien’s just announced “The Legally Prohibited From Being Funny on Television Tour,” which will indeed be stopping in Washington, D.C., on June 8 at DAR Constitution Hall. Billed as “a night of music, comedy, hugging, and the occasional awkward silence,” we’re envisioning a sort of Conan Unplugged extravaganza, with sketches, performances and surely some special celebrity guests. In other words: yes, please. Tickets to the…

As Conan O’Brien prepares to tape his final episode of The Tonight Show this evening, news broke in Lisa de Moraes’ TV Column last night that on top of getting his old show back, Jay Leno is also coming to D.C. in May to host the White House Correspondents Dinner. Leno may be the most ridiculed man in late night these days, but he’s also a much bigger name than many of the more…

If you haven’t been watching The Tonight Show since Conan O’Brien took over the show last week, you might have missed a segment that aired Monday night featuring local WUSA-9 TV news reporter Armando Trull. The sketch, which Conan dubbed “Trull Busters,” features a clip of Trull reporting on a story outside a Metro station (looks like it could be Silver Spring, but it’s hard to make out), only to have a portly gentlemen…

There’s so much going on across the Ist-a-Verse that it’s almost impossible to keep track these days. Fortunately, we do it so you don’t have to! Londonist took a walk through Oliver Twist’s London, thanks to a gorgeous map layer for Google Earth. They also caught up with modern-day fictional London, with the Fantastic Four and 28 Weeks Later. It was a week of insanity over at DCist. They started the week off with…

Seattlest saw a house party get senselessly attacked with a shotgun and end with seven dead. A local senator is debated and their version of the big dig is investigated. To truly get to the bottom of it they interview the writer Jonathan Raban. Bostonist has its first birthday party and investigates how to attach more gambling dollars to the Red Sox. Benjamin Franklin is celebrated and Johnny Damon is not. DCist reports that the…

Last night marked the second time in the last few months that I attended a Stellastarr* show at the 9:30 Club and didn’t stick around for the headliners. Last October I caught great sets by Cedars and Giant Drag and last night I went solely to see the English quartet Editors. Despite spending most of the set with my ears pinned to the front speakers in order to snap these photos, I thought their…

Truth be told, we’re still coming down off our high from Sunday’s Arcade Fire show. And if you are, too, make sure to set your Tivo tonight – they’ll be playing on the Conan O’Brien show. In other news, February’s actually got a rather great line up of shows to see. As always, we don’t know jack about anything beyond annoying shoegazing indie pop rock, so make sure to check out the Post’s recommendations for…
