It’s time once again for the Kennedy Center Honors, this year celebrating its 47th class. And it’s quite the lineup.
Each year, the Kennedy Center Honors “recognizes and celebrates individuals whose unique contributions have shaped the way we see ourselves, each other and our world. Recipients have each had an impact on the rich tapestry of American life and culture through the performing arts. Whether in music, dance, theater, opera, motion pictures or television, each Kennedy Center Honoree has a unique place in the national consciousness and their influence has inspired audiences from all walks of life.”
Here’s everything you need to know about the show this year.
The 47th annual Kennedy Center Honors will air on CBS on Sunday, December 22 at 8:30 p.m. ET and at 8 p.m. PT.
Yes, it will be. You can stream it live and on-demand on Paramount+ with SHOWTIME. Paramount+ Essential subscribers can also stream it the day after the special airs.
