- Celebrate the 2019 Honorees
Earth, Wind & Fire, Sally Field, Linda Ronstadt, Sesame Street, and Michael Tilson Thomas
Watch the 42nd Annual Kennedy Center Honors Celebrating Honorees' Profound Artistic Impact
Sunday, December 15 at 8 p.m. on CBS.
“The Kennedy Center Honors celebrates icons who, through their artistry, have left an indelible stamp on our collective cultural consciousness,” stated Kennedy Center Chairman David M. Rubenstein. “Earth, Wind & Fire’s hooks and grooves are the foundation of a seminal style that continues to shape our musical landscape; Sally Field has brought us unforgettable characters, both joyous and poignant, for more than five decades; Linda Ronstadt is the defining voice of a generation, spanning genres, languages, and continents; Sesame Street continues to revolutionize how children and adults learn about our world; and Michael Tilson Thomas goes far beyond keeping score: he has shaped American music and musical institutions for the 21st century.”
“In this class of honorees, we are witnessing a uniquely American story: one that is representative of so many cultural touchstones and musical moments that make our nation great,” said Kennedy Center President Deborah F. Rutter. “When I look at this class, I see the hopes, aspirations, and achievements not just of these honorees, but of the many generations they have influenced and continue to influence. We’re not just looking back; these honorees are urging us to look forward as well.”
The 42nd annual Kennedy Center Honors marks the first time a television program will receive the award. The co-founders of Sesame Street, Joan Ganz Cooney and Dr. Lloyd Morrisett, will accept the Kennedy Center Honors on behalf of the show, Muppets creator Jim Henson, seminal Muppets artists Caroll Spinney and Frank Oz, and the thousands of creatives who have built the program’s 50-year legacy.
On Sunday, December 8, in a star-studded celebration on the Kennedy Center Opera House stage, produced by Ricky Kirshner and Glenn Weiss of White Cherry Entertainment, the 2019 Honorees were saluted by today’s leading performers from New York, Hollywood, and the arts capitals of the world. Seated in the Box Tier of the iconic Kennedy Center Opera House, the Honorees accepted the recognition and gratitude of their peers through performances and tributes.
The Kennedy Center Honors medallions were presented on Saturday, December 7, the night before the Gala, at a State Department dinner. The Founding Chair of the State Department dinner is Elizabeth Stevens.
The Honors recipients recognized for their contributions to American culture through the performing arts-whether in music, dance, theater, opera, motion pictures, or television-are confirmed by the Executive Committee of the Center’s Board of Trustees. The primary criterion in the selection process is excellence. The Honors are not designated by art form or category of artistic achievement; the selection process, over the years, has produced balance among the various arts and artistic disciplines.
The Honoree selection process includes solicitation of recommendations from the Kennedy Center Board of Trustees, the artistic community, and the general public. This year’s selected Honorees were chosen based on the recommendation of the Center’s Special Honors Advisory Committee, which is chaired by David Bohnett and includes David M. Rubenstein, Deborah F. Rutter, Michael Lombardo, Cappy McGarr, and Shonda Rhimes, along with past Honors recipients and distinguished artists Julie Andrews, Martina Arroyo, Gloria Estefan, Herbie Hancock, Twyla Tharp, and John Williams. These individuals play a critical role in the evaluation and selection process, and the Kennedy Center is indebted to them for their involvement.

You know the puppeteers are there, but yet you ignore them and keep looking at the puppets. That's the power of these characters.
I don't get it
@@samiyasmith150 I mean that you believe the characters are real even when the puppeteer is in frame with them.
@@timrob12 oh. That's what I am gonna be when i graduate from high school
@@samiyasmith150 Great.
Ignore but how will i frame my puppet when i frame with it
I had forgotten that this happened the day after Caroll Spinney's death, but I double-checked after noticing the yellow feathers. Such a sweet, simple way to remember their friend. 😭
Aww they're all wearing yellow feathers
Ernie voice compilation:
Jim Henson (1969-1990)
Steve Whitmire (1996-2016)
Peter Linz (2016-present)
Steve actually only did it through 2014. Then Billy Barkhurst did it through 2017, and then Peter took over.
Erine as Kermit and Bert as fozzie totally epic
As Nostalgia Critic said in his review on Muppet Family Christmas " Fozzie and Kermit are over there and we all know we're doing their voices!"
But in all serious, Jim Henson used to perform Kermit and Ernie as Frank Oz used to perform Fozzie and Bert.
Bert and Ernie have always been some of my favorite "Sesame Street" Muppets/Characters growing up!
:)
Ernie and Bert are 2 of my favorite Sesame Street Characters
Soo, Handsome! 🎉🌥️🎊🌥️🍧🌥️🍧🌥️🧁🌥️🎊🎶🍧🌥️🎊🎶🍧🌥️🎨🎶🎢🌥️🎢
These guys are the best!
I'm listening to radio, NCI fm. some guys voice has very similar style to Burt Ernie, voices. made me laugh is good way.
I saw Peter Linz and Eric Jacobson in the background. Hopefully the chase ended well
Everytime when I hear Peter Linz's voice as Ernie. It makes me feel that Kermit the Frog shoulda been given to Peter
Same here!
But-but he's already performing Robin!
@@SammySesame then maybe Matt Vogel, the new Jerry Nelson and Peter Linz should switch frogs
@@SammySesame Matt Vogel has performed Robin before
So cute
Peter Linz(2016-2020)
Eric Jacobson(2019-2021)🎢🧁🌥️🧁🌥️🎊🌥️🎊🎶🎊🎶🧁🎊🌈🏡💐🏡🚶♀️🧁🎶🧁🧁🧁🎢
What A Magical Outfit!🌃🌌💃☀️💃🕺☀️☀️☀️📝💃🌹
Ooh,Hello Peter!🪗🪄🪘🍨🍦🪅🎠🎶🏙️🌆🌃🌁🏫🎻🍧🏕️🌌🌠
❤️
Thank
I bet Walter from the new muppets movie loves Ernie and Bert from sesame street
I love the puppeteers so much! This is Peter Linz and Eric Jacobson. It’s sad that Caroll Spinney died. RIP
Hi Bert and Ernie
No. Ernie and Bert as real muppets was accompanied by two men.
Cool
🥰
The puppeteers didn't hide themselves like in Avenue Q.
😍
Thank
Eric...
😘
Thank
Hi
I don't. Get it
What’s with the feathers that they’re wearing?
Caroll Spinney. Spinney, 85, passed away the day before. He was the gentle puppeteer who was the creator of - and literally embodied - the awkward, curious and joyful yellow-feathered body of Big Bird.
@@GMAMEC fiduciary
Just 1 question why arent Ernie and Kermit voiced by the same person
Well they used to be but Steve Whitmire (the old voice of Kermit and Ernie) got fired back in October of 2016, hence Ernie and Kermit getting new puppeteers. Kermit got a long time muppeteer and big bird operator, Matt Vogel. He’s also done numerous other characters too. Ernie however got Peter Linz, another person of the muppets who’s done countless characters. In my opinion,I Agree with you but it might just be because of how many characters both people do, and if both characters where to be in the same scene, it’d be hard to do both at the same time. Sorry if any of this is unclear. You probably already knew this though.
@@FreeSpiritPaulette I didn't know. Thank you very much.
@@FreeSpiritPaulette Steve actually wasn't Ernie at the time he got fired. Billy Barkhurst had been Ernie since 2014.
Jim Henson and Frank Oz were better
First
