Conan O’Brien returning to host Correspondents’ Association dinner

"When we say Conan is coming back to host the dinner again, we mean he’s coming back to redeem himself. He was pretty bad in ’95 — not too bad out of the gate, but he lost the crowd when he began to interview a giant talking Bill Clinton head on a screen, while Actual Bill Clinton watched from the dais. When Conan informed Giant Talking Clinton Head that the interview was being broadcast only on C-SPAN, the head said: 'Well, if no one’s watching: Hey, everybody, I inhaled! I smoked my brains out. They used to call me Weed Willia — Yee Haaa!'

And, although it hardly seems possible, things went downhill from there."
