As you all know, Seth Meyers is hosting the White House Correspondents Dinner tonight. But did you know that you guys can watch Meyers rock it out? You can, guys!

 MSNBC and C-SPAN are airing the event, which sees Washington’s elite hobnob with several figures from the worlds of film, television, fashion and music. C-SPAN will cover the arrivals starting at 6.45PM on both TV and via a live stream. MSNBC’s coverage will begin at 9.30PM.

 This year will see folks like SNL’s Jason Sudeikis, Paul Rudd, Steve Buscemi, Jane Lynch, Mindy Kaling, Kate Hudson, Chris Colfer, Sean Penn, Elizabeth Banks, Jon Hamm, Zach Galifianakis, Anna Paquin, Melissa Leo, Rashida Jones, Mila Kunis, Joan Rivers and a whole host of other awesome people. (Full list here.)

So if you, like me, have nothing else to do tonight, tune into the White House Correspondents’ Dinner!

Come on, dictionary. Shouldn’t the ‘Word Of The Year’ be better than Sarah Palin’s accidental mashup of ‘refute’ and ‘repudiate’? And we know it was an accident, because Palin herself went back and changed the Tweet to say ‘refute.’ Yet then [she] went back again to Twitter and defended herself, writing ‘Shakespeare liked to coin new words too. Got to celebrate it!’

Well there are a couple of differences between Shakespeare and Sarah Palin. For one, when Shakespeare coined new words, it wasn’t by accident. He came up with words like ‘submerge’ and ‘sneak.’ He didn’t just take two words that kinda mean the same thing and then smash them together to make a third word that also kinda means the same thing.

…Shakespeare crafted new words; Sarah Palin got into a word fender-bender. And when Shakespeare did come up with new words, he certainly didn’t say ‘Got to celebrate it!’ In fact, I bet he never said that. ‘Shakespeare, what are you doing at the club?’ ‘Just finished Twelfth Night—got to celebrate it!’

Finally, we don’t need ‘refudiate’, because we already have ‘repudiate.’ You can’t just change the ‘p’ in the word to an ‘f’ and then say you made a new word. If it’s that easy, then I just came up with one. Here, I’ll use it in a sentence: ‘New Oxford American Dictionary, please stop rafing the English language.’

“Social media is what Studio 54 was in the 70’s…a place where nerds could go and hope to get poked.”
“If MySpace were a celebrity, it’d be on Dancing With the Stars.”

“If I was half as smart as Mark Zuckerberg I could’ve stolen the best ideas from him.”

“Anyone who is sensitive about social media jokes should go home where they’re comfortable.”

“Social media is how a twelve-year-old stranger can call my vacation photos gay.”

Seth Meyers had a room full of New York digital media types laughing hysterically last night at an event hosted by social marketing company Buddy Media.
