What’s your fifth pick? I’m not sure about Betty White, though she is a TV mainstay, I thought opera and ballet are closer to the sort of performance done at the Kennedy Center.

Robin Roberts? I disagree, a TV news anchor isn’t the first thing that comes to mind about performing arts.

I’m just thinking of people who would bring eyes to the screen if that makes sense. She is insanely popular and rightfully so

Yes but entertainment and performing arts are two different things.

Next week the 43rd KCH will be filmed and by December the KCH will probably be back to its regular schedule, with in-person performances and the US president giving a reception. And hopefully this time they won’t break rank like they did with Hamilton and Sesame Street.

Nice. Is there a copy of the speech? One of my favorite parts of the KCH is the White House reception, with the president congratulating them. I missed that with the orange demon.
