At the annual White House Correspondents' Association dinner, journalists presented the association’s scholarship awards to students, and a brief videotaped response by the students was shown. Following the awards review and recognition of association officers and attendants, speeches included humorous remarks about current events and the political climate in Washington. The first lady surprised the audience by interrupting the president’s speech to give her own humorous speech. Cedric the Entertainer presented an amusing monolog about the president, his cabinet, and Washington politics. At the end of the dinner, scenes of official departures, guest conversations, and an interview with Cedric the Entertainer were shown.
