The bash represented the sometimes-off the wall assortment of media and pop culture personalities who come together for D.C.’s big night, not-so-affectionately dubbed “Nerd Prom:” Bill Nye “the Science Guy,” could be eyed just a few feet away from CNN’s Jake Tapper, as “Ted Lasso” star Brendan Hunt passed by.
