Kennedy Center Honors Special 2022 - Full Performers, Presenters, & Honorees Lineup!

It’s that time of the year again and the 2022 Kennedy Center Honors special will be airing tonight on CBS!

The annual show was filmed on the Kennedy Center Opera House stage on December 4.

The Honors recipients are recognized for their contributions to American culture through the performing arts – whether in music, dance, theater, opera, motion pictures or television – and 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 show will air on CBS at 8pm ET/PT on Wednesday (December 28) and it will also stream live and on demand on Paramount+.
