No one will be safe on Saturday as Joel McHale takes the podium to deliver the comic relief at this year's White House Correspondents' Dinner, the annual dinner held to celebrate the White House press corps. Each year in DC, the country's entertainment and political elite — including the president and first lady — mingle at the Washington Hilton for an evening that dates back to 1920. Media outlets secure tables for the banquet and then invite famous faces to join them. If you're wondering how Lindsay Lohan or Kim Kardashian attended in years past, it's because they were both invited by Fox News. So far this year, the guest list is less reliant on the reality-TV or troubled-starlet type. Find out who's going to Washington below.

Pretend DC Insiders
You can expect a crop of actors from political dramas to show up. Last year, the casts of House of Cards, Homeland, and Scandal were among those in attendance. This year, Scott Foley, aka Jake Ballard from Scandal, is confirmed as a guest of People. But watch out — President Fitz, aka Tony Goldwyn, will also be on hand.
