Kennedy Center Honors 2017: How to watch online and on TV, start time and pre-show
Five legendary creative forces -- dancer Carmen de Lavallade; music icons Gloria Estefan, LL Cool J, and Lionel Richie; and TV writer/producer Norman Lear -- are being recognized with Kennedy Center Honors for their groundbreaking contributions to American culture. The five honorees will be feted in a two-hour televised special tonight spotlighting their iconic work and lasting influence.
In a break with tradition, President and Mrs. Trump did not attend the gala show, which was taped at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. on Dec. 3. The White House said they opted out "to allow the honorees to celebrate without any political distraction."
