CBN has also invited former Green Bay Packers wide receiver/"Dancing With the Stars" alum Donald Driver and his wife Betina, along with Patrick and Gina Neely, who host the Food Network offering "Down Home With the Neelys."
In a release issued Wednesday, CBN Washington bureau chief Robin Mazyck — who'll join the guests at the dinner, along with CBN White House correspondent Jennifer Wishon — hailed the Robertsons' "big hearts" and willingness to "share … their Christian faiths with others."
“CBN is honored to be hosting these distinguished guests,” Mazyck said in a press release. “These couples — the Robertsons, Drivers and Neelys — they have big hearts, they are happy to share their time, their talents and their Christian faith with others. We look forward to a fantastic evening.”

This year, the event, which is held annually by the White House Correspondents' Association, will be held Saturday, with Conan O'Brien headlining the dinner.
"Duck Dynasty" — which chronicles the backwoods shenanigans of the Robertson family, who made a fortune by manufacturing duck calls — has been a tremendous hit for A&E. The Season 3 premiere of the series in February drew 8.6 million total viewers, setting a record for the network. (The season airs its finale Wednesday night.)
