The top dog of the White House Correspondents' Dinner has been announced: Conan O'Brien will be headlining this year's dinner, scheduled for Saturday, April 27. The news was released Wednesday morning via Twitter. Fox News White House Correspondent Ed Henry, who serves as president of the White House Correspondents' Association, revealed the pick and complimented O'Brien for being "terrific" at the '95 correspondents' dinner with President Clinton. Henry also noted that Fox News colleague Bret Baier will be handing out the association's journalism awards at the affair, which annually attracts the sitting president and handfuls of Hollywood celebrities.
