The 46th Annual Kennedy Center Honors took place on December 3rd and will be broadcasted on CBS on December 27th.
This prestigious event celebrates individuals who have made significant contributions to the arts throughout their careers.
Among this year’s honorees are actor and comedian Billy Crystal, soprano and actor Renee Fleming, singer-songwriter Barry Gibb, rapper-singer Queen Latifah, and singer Dion Warwick.
During his acceptance speech, Billy Crystal didn’t hold back his disdain for Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex.
Known for his witty and sarcastic tweets, Crystal made jokes about Meghan’s controversial interview with Oprah Winfrey and her strained relationship with the royal family.
He even referenced Meghan and Harry’s high-speed car chase in New York City.
The audience responded with laughter and applause, showing their support for Crystal’s remarks.
President Joe Biden also congratulated this year’s honorees, including Crystal, during the ceremony.
He praised Crystal’s ability to make people laugh and his philanthropic efforts, such as raising awareness and funds for cancer research, supporting homeless communities, and aiding in the recovery after 9/11 and Superstorm Sandy.
This news comes at a time when Meghan Markle is facing criticism and doubts about her future prospects.
After the fallout from Omid Scobie’s book, “Endgame,” Meghan has been warned that she may struggle to regain public trust and investment in her brand.
Commentator Neil Sean believes that Meghan’s reputation has hit rock bottom, and it will take significant efforts from her and her talent agency, William Morrison Dever, to convince people otherwise.
Despite the controversy surrounding Meghan, the Kennedy Center Honors remain a significant milestone for the honorees.
This annual event recognizes their artistic achievements and contributions to the entertainment industry.
Billy Crystal’s bold remarks regarding Meghan Markle added an unexpected twist to the ceremony, generating both laughter and discussion among the audience.
As the Kennedy Center Honors prepare to air on CBS later this month, viewers can expect a memorable and diverse celebration of these talented individuals.
The event showcases their talent, dedication, and impact on the arts, reminding us of the power of creativity and the importance of honoring those who have made a lasting impression in their respective fields.
