Didn't spot him but was hoping he'd be in there!

He was more in line with Cookie Monster. In the final shots, he was immediately in front of James Franco.

Henry fucking Kissinger??? How is he still alive? He must be a hundred years old.

Love that group.

@5 - thanks. I re-watched it and your comment was spot on. There he is!

Vox has a more or less complete list.
Correction: The original version of this post misidentified Barry Manilow as Rod Stewart. We deeply regret the error.
Heh.

That singalong looked like the best cocktail party of all time.

That made me surprisingly emotional. When are you going to see Doris Kearns Goodwin, Matt Taibi, Patrick Stewart, Tom Brokaw, Willie Nelson, Neil DeGrasse Tyson, Rick Ocasek and Elijah Wood all on the same stage?

Makes me wonder when Bill O'Reilly finally retires who will appear on his finale? Satan? Hitler? The Grand Dragon? Dennis Miller?

@10

What makes you think Bill O'Reilly won't crash his car into lamppost before he retires?

@13, were you in a coma during the 2006 WH Correspondents dinner?

Colbert took a pretty limited concept, and made it hilarious for 9 years. Watch his Christmas special with Toby Keith, Feist, Willie Nelson and Elvis Costello - made me a fan.

TPM compiled a list of everyone who appeared. Wow!

There's Dan! (It's like where's Waldo.) But he actually had a dressy jacket on over the tee shirt.

Still fond memories of him making Colbert break character: "Well, is it adultery if I'm at one end of the guy, & my husband's at the other..?"

I like the way James Franco is side-eyeing Dan here. "How'd he get in front of me?"

you get a great view at 4:00 to about 4:08. I want to know who said what to Dan to make him laugh.
