MARCIA CROSS, PAM ANDERSON, JENNY McCARTHY, MARTHA STEWART and the JONAS BROTHERS joined "Late Late Show" host CRAIG FERGUSON, who was the featured entertainer, and earlier mused that the event "is like the Oscars for politicians; there are 2,800 journalists in attendance, congress, military brass [and cabinet members]" along with the president and first lady.
