We hope you have your fanciest suits and ties ready, because tomorrow night is the annual White House Correspondents' Dinner, one of the most prestigious gatherings of politicians, celebrities, and press of the year!

Well, at least it used to be that way according to Tom Brokaw!

The NBC news anchor says the once distinguished dinner party has become a bit of a laughingstock, and it's all thanks to Lindsay Lohan!

LiLo attended last years event, and he was NOT thrilled about it, saying:

For a guy who just lost his job, A.J. Clemente is doing pretty well!

If that name sounds familiar, it's because he's the North Dakota news anchor who lost his job for dropping the F-bomb just 10 SECONDS into his very first broadcast!

Well A.J. has been a good sport through the whole ordeal, and now he has someone on his side who might know a thing or two about the industry: David Letterman!

The fired anchorman made an appearance on The Late Show to talk about his flub, and the host not only thinks he should get his job back, but he says he's owed an apology:

At least Ron Burgundy is impressed!

West Virginia graduate A.J. Clemente wanted nothing more than to be a TV news anchor and, unfortunately for everyone involved, NBC's North Dakota affiliate gave him that opportunity!

Ten seconds into his very first broadcast on KFYR, A.J. randomly blurted out two super inappropriate curse words!!

Ruh-Roh! The FCC is not pleased!!!

Ch-ch-check out A.J.'s costly cussing gaffe for yourself (above)!

A.J.'s Twitter response to his own screw-up was on the money:

Have you guys been watching the Today show lately? Because it has actually been pretty good watchable!

It might have something to do with Hoda Kotb, who is temporarily filling in for Savannah Guthrie and has somehow done the impossible and made Matt Lauer likable-ish!

So naturally we have to ask, is she the answer to all of the Today show's problems?

According to an insider at the show, Hoda is ADORED by the crew and her chemistry with the controversial anchor reminds them of the golden days when Katie Couric was still around:

NBC newswoman Jenna Wolfe says her and her partner Stephanie Gosk are not disclosing who the baby daddy is to their future child.

But Wolfe has kept her sense of humor even with her baby bump!

Here's what she recently said:

Matt Lauer just can't seem to catch a break lately!

The anchor was already under heavy scrutiny for the firing of Ann Curry and the Today show's plummeting ratings, and we're guessing his highly controversial interview with filmmaker John Ziergler concerning Jerry Sandusky isn't helping him win any popularity contests!

But it sounds like some good might come out of this ugly mess, as we're hearing NBC is reaching out to Anderson Cooper to replace Matt!

A source close to the situation claims that the deal could be coming fairly soon, saying:

This is just more proof as to why we need Google Glasses — if you take video all the time, you won't miss something like this!

Luckily, even though they were only recording a short segment, the Tennis Channel actually captured an Earthquake on TV! It caused no damage, except it totally broke the concentration of Brett Haber. Hilariously, Tracy Austin, Neil Harman and USA TODAY Sports tennis writer Doug Robson were unfazed and kept talking.

Here's what Haber said about it:

"Since I live in California I knew pretty quickly it was an earthquake and as we were on a flimsy set with an overhang I was getting ready to move to clearer ground if it intensified."

And this is what Harman said:

"I thought it was a wind gust."

LOLz!

If you watch the video (above), you'll see that it's more how Neil Harman describes it than Haber!
