The White House Correspondents' Dinner is getting competition this year from TBS' Samantha Bee.
She will hold "Not the White House Correspondents' Dinner" on April 29 against the actual event, TBS announced Monday.
The host of "Full Frontal With Samantha Bee" will stage the event at the Willard Hotel in Washington, D.C.
A wacky release described Bee as a "noted purveyor of FAKE NEWS�" and said she will welcome "journalists and non-irritating celebrities from around the world."
All proceeds from Bee's event are going to the Committee to Protect Journalists (cpj.org).
But TBS shared no details about how Bee's event might air on the channel.
The release hinted at problems with the actual event during the Trump presidency: "We suspect some members of the press may find themselves unexpectedly free that night, and we want to feed them and give them hugs."
In a statement, Bee said: "The evening is sure to bring plenty of surprises, music, food and laughter _ and if you're not careful you just might learn something. Specifically, you'll learn how screwed we'd be without a free press."
"We're really doing this," Bee added. "This is not a joke."
The release added: "BYOB. For additional information and updates please follow #NotTheWHCD"
