Donald Trump is reportedly taking over the Kennedy Center Honors and personally selecting honorees — this year’s crop consisting of George Strait, Sylvester Stallone, Kiss, Michael Crawford, and Gloria Gaynor, while Tom Cruise reportedly turned down an award.
Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger, along with independent journalist James Li, discuss Trump’s plan to reverse the Kennedy Center’s decline and reject “woke” nominees. The conversation shifts into comedic tangents about Gloria Gaynor’s reputation, J.K. Rowling’s controversies, and generational pop-culture battles over franchises like Harry Potter and Star Wars.
