- This year’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner will open up with some major star power, as The Hollywood Reporter hears that action star (and former California Governor) Arnold Schwarzenegger will kick off the program with a pre-taped “cold open.”
- Exactly what Schwarzenegger will say or do remains a mystery for now, though he has made news in recent months by delivering earnest monologues, with a recent one addressed to antisemites warning them that they “will end up broken” if they continue down the path of hate.
- Last year’s event also featured a cold open sketch, starring Late Late Show host James Corden.
