Interesting view on the annual White House Correspondents Dinner. I'm still watching though...
The White House Correspondents Dinner, held annually in Washington, D.C., has evolved from a staid all-male gathering of journalists in 1920 to a gala event that attracts a cross-section of personalities, leaders and glitterati.
Using Optimized Listening to Rank Past #NerdProm Hosts and Their DC Doppelgangers
The White House Correspondents’ Dinner, or #NerdProm, is the place when the worlds of entertainment and politics collide. At Echelon, we thought it would be interesting to take a look at past dinner performers and rank them by their degree of influence inside the Beltway, as measured by their following amongst Twitter’s most powerful in DC. Using our Optimized Listening platform, we’ve ranked nearly 25,000 Twitter personalities based on their degree of influence within the Beltway. From that list, we pulled out the 10 past hosts of the Correspondents Dinner with the biggest “pull” inside the political media world.
And to give you an even better sense of their influence, we’ve paired each host what we’re terming their “DC Doppelganger” -- the DC or media people whose influence-level most closely theirs in our scoring.
Are you on the list? Take a look below:
Stephen Colbert Doppelgangers: Todd Harris, Maureen Dowd, Matt Yglesias
Seth Meyers Doppelgangers: Brian Williams, John Sides, Hugh Hewitt
Jon Stewart Doppelgangers: Cory Booker, Russ Schriefer, Teddy Goff
Conan O’Brien Doppelgangers: Reihan Salam, Jeremy Bird, the CIA
Bill Maher Doppelgangers: Joe Biden, David Gergen, Anne-Marie Slaughter
Jimmy Kimmel Doppelgangers: Juleanna Glover, Gavin Newsom, the NRCC
Joel McHale Doppelgangers: Dick Morris, Sandra Fluke, Jack Abramoff
Sen. Al Franken (D-MN) Doppelgangers: Ellen DeGeneres, Jenna Bush Hager, Gregg Keller
Craig Ferguson Doppelgangers: Paul Wolfowitz, George Allen, Noah Chestnut
Jay Leno Doppelgangers: Matt DeLuca, Jenn Agiesta, Tom DeLay
