On his podcast, Job Favreau (the former Obama speechwriter) revealed that he was mistakenly invited to the event because they thought he was Jon Favreau the actor. They didn't realize their mistake until he submitted his ID for a background check. Lol

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:

- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Oh I hope Jon Favreau doesn't go. I really really do.
I think it would be funny if the speechwriter had gotten to go though
I somehow thought they were the same guy until now, like how kal penn worked for Obama.
Edit: I looked him up and realized that the person I was picturing the whole time was actually Jon cryer, so I’m clearly not too well informed
This title is hilarious. It makes it sound like we have like several dozen Cracker Barrels worth of The Rock. Which I don’t think we do, but I haven’t kept up with Hollywood.
Well, I think Adam Sandler could be droves all by himself.
We’re now imagining like a swarm of Adam Sandlers going into the ring to do a life or death match and the last one alive gets to be declared as the official Adam Sandler
Don't worry. All the "D-list" celebrities are still going.
Let me guess: Rob Schneider, Kevin Sorbo, Randy Quaid?
Rob schnieder said he wouldnt go even if he wasn't filming the new surf ninjas movie.
That's funny, I said the same thing about him!
Don’t forget Jon Voight, James Woods, Kelsey Grammer, Kevin Sorbo, Roseanne Barr, Michael Rapaport, Scott Baio, and Randy’s brother Dennis. Nicki Minaj and Kanye can do the halftime show.
Kid Rock’s invite was “lost in the mail”.
If they can find Randy Quaid then at least we'll know he's still alive.
And if they weren't D-List, they're fast tracked to get on that list.
A cage fight to celebrate the man that never got into a fight in his life.
Wow, we finally found the floor of Adam Sandler's standards.
I bet people will show up if they put Trump in the ring
Did he think they would go?
