Kevin Spacey reprised his House of Cards character in a hilarious six-minute video that opened the annual White House Correspondents' Dinner, also known as "Nerd Prom," Saturday in Washington, D.C.
In the skit, Spacey uses his character's Machiavellian maneuvers to complete the seating chart at the dinner and, in the meantime, pokes fun at a long list of personalities attending the dinner. A number of them even participated in the spoof, including Sen. John McCain and New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg.
Spacey even makes some tongue-in-cheek criticism. Referring to the night's host, comedian Conan O’Brien, he says that "it must be so hard to write jokes about a town that already is one."
"Democrats, Republicans, the White House, Congress, you all came together to make this spoof. That's what real bipartisanship looks like," he says at the end, addressing the camera. "I may lie, cheat and intimidate to get the job done, but at least I get the job done. So I hope some of you are taking notes."
