White House Correspondents' Dinner 2014 video
"Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Joe Biden: White House
Correspondents' Dinner 2014" +
7:00 video from May 3, 2014.
Synopsis: Julia Louis-Dreyfus as Vice President Selina Meyer (from
the HBO series "Veep") and
Vice President Joe Biden as himself star in this amusing seven-minute
film. Biden, wearing his trademark aviator glasses picks up
Dreyfus. They go to the White House and sit in the Oval
Office. Next they proceed to the kitchen for some ice cream but
are spotted by First Lady Michelle Obama, playing herself. From
the White House it's off to Amazon.com/The Washington Post where they
write some fun headlines. Next they go to a tattoo parlor where
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi appears as herself. Biden and
Dreyfus get "45" tatooed on their arms. They try to pick up
Speaker John Boehner, but he's busy at the Capitol. That pretty
much ends their evening; Biden parks the car and Dreyfus hops the fence
to go to the dinner.
Notes: This is a very inside Washington/Hollywood production with lots of clever and amusing touches. Vice President Biden plays into the image of himself as a hipster. First Lady Michelle Obama, Nancy Pelosi and John Boehner put in appearances. Within two weeks of the Correspondents' Dinner this video had already received more than 1.5 million views (more than all the videos in this pre-campaign section combined).
