| No way. I want their viewership numbers to be terrible. Trumpty Dumpty will say " best ever numbers". All of the " honorees" are D List at best. |
Kennedy Center Honors used to be must-see TV for me. I absolutely loved watching every year, and often cried during the video tributes. you could not pay me to watch this year. Or for the next three years I guess.

I would not have even really known about it before. I don't much watch awards shows. I just make a note to watch the things that true professionals appreciate ahead of time.
Absolutely not watching it now, it's like something under occupation. How would you even know what was good anymore when everyone claps on command for something like new superhero series like Dean Cain and his Dog and the President and that guy who fought Antifa saving America (I obviously made that up, but it's not actually too far from what could be nominated, is it?) |
PP - LOL. Me too. I never saw it the first time around. OP - I no longer support the Kennedy Center, so why would I spend my time watching that garbage. |
Not really, I'd like to read it here NP Are you posting for 2024, OP? The floodgates are wide open now, thanks to Trump |
| Omg I love The West Wing. 0Have watched it so many times. Lucky you to be on our first watch through. |

JUST IN: CBS’s Kennedy Center Honors just hit an all-time ratings low. Preliminary Nielsen data shows only ~2.65M viewers tuned in to the Trump-hosted show, down from 4.1M in 2024. A stunning 35% year-over-year collapse. |
Trump hosted the event and America closed to change the channel |
| Plummeting ratings. CBS should shut down. Trump is a dead brand. |

NEW YORK (AP) — A planned Christmas Eve jazz concert at the Kennedy Center, a holiday tradition dating back more than 20 years, has been canceled. The show's host, musician Chuck Redd, says that he called off the performance in the wake of the White House announcing last week that President Donald Trump's name would be added to the facility.
As of last Friday, the building's facade reads The Donald J. Trump and The John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts. According to the White House, the president's handpicked board approved the decision, which scholars have said violates the law. Trump had been suggesting for months he was open to changing the center's name. “When I saw the name change on the Kennedy Center website and then hours later on the building, I chose to cancel our concert,” Redd told The Associated Press in an email Wednesday. Redd, a drummer and vibraphone player who has toured with everyone from Dizzy Gillespie to Ray Brown, has been presiding over holiday “Jazz Jams” at the Kennedy Center since 2006, succeeding bassist William “Keter” Betts. |
| #47 + MAGAs are working to destroy every decent thing in our country. It is sad musicians, actors, artists, etc. are being destroyed by these awful people. |
This is me 100%. So very sad not to have this program to enjoy during the holidays. Report: Recent Kennedy Center Honors viewership shows a sharp decline in 2025 with ~2.65M viewers (a 35% drop from 2024's 4.1M) when Donald Trump hosted, marking a record low. |
| Ratings matter to Trump so boycotting the ceremony is the way to go. |
Truth. Some will return but many will move on to other countries or careers. |
