The 46th annual Kennedy Center Honors is set to be televised today, Wednesday, December 27th. As the famed arts center is honoring the stars of all worlds of entertainment, viewers are eager to get a piece of the action. Here are ways that you can see the night of arts and entertainment at your own home.
The gala was filmed on December 3rd and is hosted by the former honoree Gloria Estefan. This year, the event will be honoring the achievements of comedian and actor Billy Crystal (When Harry Met Sally, The Princess Bride), actress and theatre performer Renée Fleming (Bel Canto), Barry Gibb of the band the Bee Gees’, singer and actress Queen Latifa (Hairspray, Girls Trip), and singer Dionne Warwick. As per the official description, The Kennedy Center Honors “recognizes artists who have made profound contributions to the cultural life of our nation.” Last year, actor George Clooney (Ocean’s Eleven), singer Amy Grant, singer Gladys Knight, composer Tania León, and musicians U2 were the recipients of the honors.
The Honors will air on CBS at 9pm Eastern Time. It will also be streamed on Paramount+. So to get a part of the action at the gala, you will need to pick between the options of subscribing to Paramount+ or signing up for a live TV service that will also provide access to CBS.
According to TVLine, if you are looking to stream the gala free of charge, there is an option to sign up for a free trial for Paramount+ as the streaming service is offering new users an extended free trial that will last 30 days rather than the old 7-day period. But, once the trial is over the plan will begin to renew at its starting price of $5.99 per month unless it is cancelled prior to the 30-day trial being over.
The Kennedy Center Honors will air on December 27th at 9 pm Eastern Time.
