chair Donald Trump has announced the broadcast of the Kennedy Center Honors on Tuesday night, where he appeared as host and “Master of Ceremony” for the 48th Annual Kennedy Center Honors.
Trump has asked his followers to rate his hosting abilities and joked about leaving the presidency to pursue television work. He wrote, “At the request of the Board, and just about everybody else in America, I am hosting the event. Tell me what you think of my “Master of Ceremony” abilities. If really good, would you like me to leave the Presidency in order to make “hosting” a full time job?”
The award show will be star-studded with celebrations of lifetime achievement in music, film and performance.

The Kennedy Center Honors ceremony recognises individuals who have significantly influenced American culture through music, theatre, dance, opera and film. It was founded in 1978.
The show traditionally airs between Christmas and New Year’s Eve on CBS. This year's ceremony was taped on December 7 and will feature award presentations and tribute performances as part of the televised show.
This year's honorees include actor Sylvester Stallone, “Country King” George Strait, the legendary rock band KISS, Gloria Gaynor and veteran stage and screen actor Michael Crawford.
The award show broadcast this year is twined with the controversy surrounding the renaming of the “John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts” to the “Donald J. Trump and John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts.”
