"On Tuesday, CBS will broadcast the annual Kennedy Centers Honors. Yesterday, the newly appointed board of the Kennedy Center voted to change the facility's name to the Trump-Kennedy Center. But it would take Congressional approval to officially change the name. Therefore, CBS News will continue to use the Kennedy Center. If the president or other administration officials use the new name in a soundbite, that is their prerogative."
"The televised broadcast presented a pared-down version of Trump's opening remarks, cutting his introduction from about 12 minutes live to two minutes for viewers at home and leaving out several of his looser jokes, including a reference to the laughing audience as miserable, horrible people.' On Tuesday morning, Trump posted to Truth Social, THE TRUMP KENNEDY CENTER HONORS will be broadcast tonight, on CBS, and Stream on Paramount+. Tune in at 8 P.M. EST!"
"Far from acting as the master of ceremonies for the entire event as one might have expected, Throughout the ceremony, Trump made limited appearances onstage, instead introducing remaining honorees in video segments prerecorded from the Oval Office."
CBS broadcast a shortened version of President Donald Trump's Kennedy Center Honors opening remarks, reducing roughly 12 minutes live to about two minutes on television. Several of Trump's looser jokes were omitted, including a reference to the laughing audience as "miserable, horrible people." CBS maintained the event name as the Kennedy Center Honors, citing that a formal renaming to "Trump-Kennedy Center" would require congressional approval. Jack Renaud of CBS standards and practices instructed staff not to use the new name except in quotations. The president promoted the program on Truth Social as "THE TRUMP KENNEDY CENTER HONORS." Trump made limited onstage appearances and used prerecorded Oval Office videos to introduce remaining honorees.
