Elvis Costello to Perform at TBS's 'Not the White House Correspondents' Dinner' After-Party

TV News Desk Apr. 25, 2017

Elvis Costello will bring his legendary guitar licks and vocal stylings to Washington, D.C., this Saturday, April 29, when he performs at the official after-party for FULL FRONTAL WITH SAMANTHA BEE's first annual "Not the White House Correspondents' Dinner," presented by TBS. Samantha Bee is set to host the evening's festivities, which will celebrate the importance of a free press. The special event will be held at DAR Constitution Hall and will air as a one-hour special on TBS at 10 p.m. (ET/PT). TBS, New York Magazine, and Vulture will sponsor the after-party at the W Hotel POV Rooftop immediately following the dinner where Costello and his band The IMPOSTERS will perform for a crowd of hardworking journalists honored at the event.

All proceeds from "Not the White House Correspondents' Dinner" will go to the Committee to Protect Journalists (cpj.org). For additional information and updates regarding the event, please follow #NotTheWHCD.

In theory, DEMOCRACY is the TOPS!!! can NOT be outdone. The joy of the many. In American practice 2017, still more thievery and vile hate, hardly obliquely camouflaged yet trumpeted adoringly by the sadly ignorant. And NOOOO, don't take this as my declaration of love for the G.O.P. either. take this as my abhorrent disgust at my rock n roll singers playing part time politician. Hate it in Bruce, HATE it in Elvis.

As a huge Sam Bee fan I say...good on you Elvis! Wish I could be there. Hope to see some YouTube and/or Periscope clips.

"Elvis Costello to perform at the ‘Not the White House Correspondents’ Dinner’

Is the complete lack of star power during this year’s White House correspondents’ dinner weekend keeping you up at night? No fear. Elvis Costello to the rescue.

The team behind comedian Samantha Bee’s “Not the White House Correspondents’ Dinner” announced on Tuesday that the “Accidents Will Happen” crooner is slated to perform at Bee’s after-party, which is shaping up to be the only shindig in town with a reliable guest list of VIPs.

TBS and New York Magazine will sponsor the after-party to be held at the W Hotel POV Rooftop immediately following Bee’s dinner slash one-hour special taping at DAR Constitution Hall. Costello and his band The Imposters will perform “for a crowd of hardworking journalists honored at the event,” according to a release. Just which “hardworking” reporters plan to sit in the audience to all this honoring remains to be seen, but we do know that comedians such as Keegan-Michael Key, actor and former White House staffer Kal Penn and former “The Daily Show” correspondent Jessica Williams will be there."

Where are our setlist-loving journalists? One of them should have been keeping a record for posterity!
Who put these fingerprints on my imagination?
