Here’s who is attending the White House Correspondents’ dinner

The annual event in Washington sometimes called “Nerd Prom,” is an opportunity for the media to enjoy a dinner and jokes alongside celebrity guests and D.C. politicians.

The emcee this year will be Michelle Wolf, a “Daily Show” contributor, says no one is off-limits with her jokes this evening.

Earlier this month it was announced Trump would skip the event for the second year in a row in favor of a rally. He’ll be in Washington, Mich., for that event, which starts at 7:30 p.m. ET. However, White House press secretary Sarah Sanders and other administration will be there in his stead.

The WHCD won’t begin until 9:30 p.m., but guests are already arriving at the red carpet.

Here’s a look at who is in attendance:

– Omarosa Manigault-Newman, former director of communications for the White House Office of Public Liaison, who also starred in Trump’s “Apprentice” reality show series on NBC.

Avenatti is the guest of the Associated Press. Avenatti has already been spotted around town at various WHCD events this weekend and met White House counselor Kellyanne Conway at one of them. He described that meeting as “spirited” while speaking with CNN on the red carpet.

– Reince Priebus, former White House chief of staff. He told CNN on the red carpet, “I think there might be a little bit of a thaw occurring in the West Wing, maybe next year President Trump’s going to be here.”

– White House counselor Kellyanne Conway, who told CNN that with Trump in Michigan and his aides at the WHCD, “We’re doubling the coverage.
