102

105
00:03:59.238 --> 00:04:02.609
The Kennedy Center Honors
recognizes performing artists

106
00:04:02.675 --> 00:04:05.345
whose contributions
to the human spirit

107
00:04:05.411 --> 00:04:08.681
represent a devotion
to that same mission.

108
00:04:08.748 --> 00:04:12.852
So now we'll begin our tribute
to our first honoree.

109
00:04:12.919 --> 00:04:15.455
To salute
her friend Debbie Allen,

110
00:04:15.521 --> 00:04:20.760
here's Grammy and two-time
Emmy Award winner Paula Abdul.

111
00:04:20.827 --> 00:04:23.229
I don't think there is
a thing in this world

112
00:04:23.296 --> 00:04:25.398
that Debbie Allen
cannot achieve.

113
00:04:25.465 --> 00:04:28.134
In my mind,
Debbie Allen invented fierce.

114
00:04:28.201 --> 00:04:31.304
She was fierce before fierce
was even a thing.

115
00:04:31.371 --> 00:04:33.773
As Lydia Grant in<i> Fame,</i>
she said,

116
00:04:33.840 --> 00:04:36.876
"The better you are, the more
sweat I'm gonna demand.

117
00:04:36.943 --> 00:04:38.277
"So if you've never
had to fight

118
00:04:38.344 --> 00:04:40.713
"for anything in your life,
put your gloves on

119
00:04:40.780 --> 00:04:42.849
and get ready for round one."

120
00:04:42.915 --> 00:04:45.518
In a few words, she gives us
a master class

121
00:04:45.585 --> 00:04:47.286
and a mic-drop moment.

122
00:04:47.353 --> 00:04:50.657
That's Debbie,
a quintessential leading lady.

123
00:04:50.723 --> 00:04:53.393
I'm most proud to call her
one of my biggest mentors

124
00:04:53.459 --> 00:04:55.061
and friend.

125
00:04:55.128 --> 00:04:57.230
Debbie broke ground

of<i> Sweet Charity.</i>

128
00:05:02.035 --> 00:05:04.570
So we begin our tribute
with two of the hit songs

129
00:05:04.637 --> 00:05:06.839

Welcome back to
the<i> Kennedy Center Honors.</i>

172
00:07:46.132 --> 00:07:48.634
Let's continue our tribute
to Debbie Allen

173
00:07:48.701 --> 00:07:51.671
with someone who was there
at the very beginning...

174
00:07:51.737 --> 00:07:54.273
her sister,
Tony Award winner

175
00:07:54.340 --> 00:07:58.911
and five-time Emmy nominee
Phylicia Rashad.

176
00:07:58.978 --> 00:08:01.080
I've known Debbie Allen
all her life.

177
00:08:01.147 --> 00:08:03.883
And she is,
as she has always been,

178
00:08:03.950 --> 00:08:06.619
full of love and joy.

179
00:08:06.686 --> 00:08:09.956
She's a dreamer who makes
her dreams come true

180
00:08:10.022 --> 00:08:12.525
through determination
and great work.

181
00:08:12.592 --> 00:08:15.161
No mountain is too high
to climb,

182
00:08:15.228 --> 00:08:17.997
no pebble too small
to pay attention to.

183
00:08:18.064 --> 00:08:21.534
This is how her
incredible journey began.

184
00:08:23.302 --> 00:08:25.438
Dancing Debbie,
that's what they called me.

185
00:08:25.504 --> 00:08:29.709
<i>I was born into a family</i>
<i>that supported me</i>

186
00:08:29.775 --> 00:08:32.178
<i>becoming all that I am.</i>

187
00:08:32.245 --> 00:08:36.649
<i>The Houston Ballet Foundation</i>
<i>was totally segregated.</i>

188
00:08:36.716 --> 00:08:39.185
When Mom tried to get me in
when I was eight,

189
00:08:39.252 --> 00:08:41.888
<i>it was not possible.</i>

190
00:08:41.954 --> 00:08:43.489
<i>So I had to work really hard.</i>

191
00:08:43.556 --> 00:08:46.092
<i>With all the creativity</i>
<i>and inspiration,</i>

192
00:08:46.158 --> 00:08:47.393
there were so many

193
00:08:47.460 --> 00:08:51.230
<i>brick walls,</i>
<i>but we prevailed.</i>

194
00:08:51.297 --> 00:08:54.400
<i>And finally I was accepted.</i>

195
00:08:54.467 --> 00:08:59.105
<i>My mom always helped me keep</i>
<i>my heart in the right place.</i>

196
00:08:59.171 --> 00:09:00.439
My first big break was

197
00:09:00.506 --> 00:09:03.075
<i>dancing in front of the band,</i>

198
00:09:03.142 --> 00:09:06.045
<i>Thanksgiving,</i>
<i>Jack Yates Senior High.</i>

199
00:09:06.112 --> 00:09:07.079
<i>I was really just following</i>

200
00:09:07.146 --> 00:09:09.382
<i>the path of my sister Phylicia.</i>

201
00:09:09.448 --> 00:09:11.584
<i>If you could twirl that baton</i>
<i>and not drop it...</i>

202
00:09:11.651 --> 00:09:14.654
I mean, I was ready
for the Oscars after.

203
00:09:14.720 --> 00:09:17.857
<i>I had grown up</i>
<i>steeped in the arts,</i>

204
00:09:17.924 --> 00:09:21.093
<i>but landing</i>
<i>at Howard University,</i>

205
00:09:21.160 --> 00:09:22.828
<i>which became my cultural oasis,</i>

206
00:09:22.895 --> 00:09:25.197
<i>that really helped birth</i>

207
00:09:25.264 --> 00:09:26.632
the Debbie Allen
that the world loves.

208
00:09:26.699 --> 00:09:29.235
One and two,
three, four and five.

209
00:09:29.302 --> 00:09:32.471
Fame<i> was a gift.</i>

210
00:09:34.840 --> 00:09:36.943
Fame<i> was where I became</i>

211
00:09:37.009 --> 00:09:39.812
<i>the quintessential</i>
<i>choreographer...</i>

212
00:09:39.879 --> 00:09:41.580
I think we have time
to do it one more time.

213
00:09:41.647 --> 00:09:43.950
It's a process!

214
00:09:41.647 --> 00:09:43.950
<i>...and became a director,</i>

215
00:09:44.016 --> 00:09:45.451
then got offers to direct
all kinds of things.

216
00:09:50.122 --> 00:09:51.991
<i>I finally got</i> Grey's Anatomy.

217
00:09:52.058 --> 00:09:54.894
Today I'm going
to change a life.

218
00:09:54.961 --> 00:09:57.029
<i>I'm the executive producing</i>
<i>director there,</i>

219
00:09:57.096 --> 00:09:58.564
<i>and I'm working with</i>
<i>the best actors.</i>

220
00:09:58.631 --> 00:10:00.199
<i>When I went there,</i>

221
00:10:00.266 --> 00:10:03.803
<i>it was a joyous experience.</i>

222
00:10:03.869 --> 00:10:06.472
<i>I love everything that I do,</i>

223
00:10:06.539 --> 00:10:10.743
<i>but dance has always been</i>
<i>my heartbeat.</i>

224
00:10:10.810 --> 00:10:14.180
<i>Dance has informed</i>

225
00:10:14.246 --> 00:10:16.949
<i>my ability as a director.</i>

226
00:10:17.016 --> 00:10:20.086
<i>But I think maybe the greatest</i>
<i>thing that I've done,</i>

227
00:10:20.152 --> 00:10:22.088
<i>and I've done a lot</i>
<i>of wonderful things,</i>

228
00:10:22.154 --> 00:10:23.322
<i>but I think it's</i>
<i>the young people</i>

229
00:10:23.389 --> 00:10:26.859
<i>that I've touched</i>
<i>and given them</i>

230
00:10:26.926 --> 00:10:28.861
<i>a path to follow</i>

231
00:10:28.928 --> 00:10:31.931
as an artist, as a woman,
as a human being.

232
00:10:35.901 --> 00:10:38.170
ESTEFAN:
<i>Here's Tracee Ellis Ross.</i>

233
00:10:38.237 --> 00:10:41.073
Debbie Allen is the embodiment
of freedom.

234
00:10:41.140 --> 00:10:43.209
She has channeled
her unbridled joy

235
00:10:43.275 --> 00:10:45.378
and uncompromising quest
for excellence

236
00:10:45.444 --> 00:10:48.014
into a career that has
crossed barriers

237
00:10:48.080 --> 00:10:50.049
and changed our world.

238
00:10:50.116 --> 00:10:52.651
We all owe Debbie Allen
a debt of gratitude.

239
00:10:52.718 --> 00:10:55.354
She has torn down barriers
and has allowed

240
00:10:55.421 --> 00:10:57.223
the language of dance
to function

241
00:10:57.289 --> 00:10:59.425
as a catalyst for change.

242
00:10:59.492 --> 00:11:01.427
I first worked with Debbie
when she directed

243
00:11:01.494 --> 00:11:02.995
episodes of<i> Girlfriends.</i>

244
00:11:03.062 --> 00:11:06.599
Her boundless energy,
infinite creativity and warmth

245
00:11:06.665 --> 00:11:09.668
was nothing short
of inspiring.

246
00:11:09.735 --> 00:11:12.705
Ms. Allen is committed to
bringing everyone along

247
00:11:12.772 --> 00:11:14.707
on the journey
of self-expression.

248
00:11:14.774 --> 00:11:16.976
And now, performing
the Oscar-nominated song

249
00:11:17.043 --> 00:11:19.378

ESTEFAN:
<i>And now, here's Shonda Rhimes.</i>

277
00:13:13.459 --> 00:13:16.896
Debbie Allen can do and has done
anything that can be done.

278
00:13:16.962 --> 00:13:18.898
From the very first time
I saw her,

279
00:13:18.964 --> 00:13:21.534
she was an inspiration
and a symbol of power.

280
00:13:21.600 --> 00:13:23.369
She was one of those
pivotal forces in the world

281
00:13:23.435 --> 00:13:25.938
who made me feel like I could be
whoever I wanted to be.

282
00:13:26.005 --> 00:13:28.641
Working with her
as a director, a producer,

283
00:13:28.707 --> 00:13:31.710
a philanthropist, and
as a friend has changed my life

284
00:13:31.777 --> 00:13:33.646
and the lives of so many others.

285
00:13:33.712 --> 00:13:35.714
From her programs at
The Debbie Allen Dance Academy

286
00:13:35.781 --> 00:13:38.184
to the directors she hires
on<i> Grey's Anatomy,</i>

287
00:13:38.250 --> 00:13:41.387
Debbie's mission is to create
opportunity for talented people

288
00:13:41.453 --> 00:13:43.689
who might otherwise have never
been given a chance,

289
00:13:43.756 --> 00:13:46.926
because Debbie's world
includes all of us.

290
00:13:46.992 --> 00:13:49.895
For that and for the joy
she has brought to millions,

291
00:13:49.962 --> 00:13:51.864
I am deeply proud to know her.

305
00:14:22.194 --> 00:14:24.530
I'm ready to party! Ow!

306
00:14:24.597 --> 00:14:25.698
Nan, you can't leave me.

307
00:14:25.764 --> 00:14:28.334
You left me a long time ago.

308
00:14:28.400 --> 00:14:30.202
What's the matter with you?

309
00:14:28.400 --> 00:14:30.202
Why

310
00:14:30.269 --> 00:14:34.340
do I have to get approval from
that fat-ass manager of yours

311
00:14:34.406 --> 00:14:35.975
every time I want
to buy anything?

312
00:14:36.041 --> 00:14:38.210
I was always walking
in your footprints,

313
00:14:38.277 --> 00:14:39.612
always wearing
your hand-me-downs,

314
00:14:39.678 --> 00:14:41.680
always your things.
And it's still like that.

315
00:14:41.747 --> 00:14:45.351
I loved how you just couldn't

ESTEFAN:
<i>And now, here's Phoebe Bridgers.</i>

505
00:23:04.249 --> 00:23:06.551
Joan Baez is nothing less
than a warrior.

506
00:23:06.618 --> 00:23:08.220
When she joined
the folk movement,

507
00:23:08.286 --> 00:23:11.089
Joan gave voice to
the originators of those songs.

508
00:23:11.156 --> 00:23:14.359
They were the disenfranchised
workers, immigrants, slaves,

509
00:23:14.426 --> 00:23:16.595
indigenous people
who built this country

510
00:23:16.661 --> 00:23:19.197
and whose music reflect
their outlook on life.

511
00:23:19.264 --> 00:23:22.234
Their universal stories
spoke to, and for,

512
00:23:22.300 --> 00:23:24.970
everyone who had been
marginalized by society.

513
00:23:25.036 --> 00:23:27.205
She also gave us
peaceful anthems of hope,

514
00:23:27.272 --> 00:23:29.241
philosophical declarations
of faith,

515
00:23:29.307 --> 00:23:32.410
and her personal recollections
of bittersweet memories.

516
00:23:32.477 --> 00:23:35.046
One of those songs Joan recorded
for her first album

517
00:23:35.113 --> 00:23:37.549
is a traditional folktale
of heartbreak avoided.

<i>Here's Tom Morello.</i>

552
00:26:03.795 --> 00:26:06.731
Joan Baez is more than

she is an international

Throughout her career,
through decades of music,

555
00:26:11.436 --> 00:26:14.172
she has been a tireless
and uncompromising advocate

and social justice.

her own songs

560
00:26:21.513 --> 00:26:24.783
or creating timeless classics
interpreting others' music,

561
00:26:24.849 --> 00:26:28.386
through her gorgeous voice
she has always been unapologetic

beauty and righteousness.

to pay tribute
to Dick Van Dyke.

and Kennedy Center Honoree
Julie Andrews.

675
00:34:32.670 --> 00:34:35.239
My friend Dick Van Dyke and I

676
00:34:35.306 --> 00:34:39.210
have been friends for more
than half a century.

677
00:34:39.277 --> 00:34:42.213
We first met when
Walt Disney put us together

678
00:34:42.280 --> 00:34:46.384
in<i> Mary Poppins,</i>
the story of a magical nanny...

679
00:34:46.451 --> 00:34:50.822
although, in truth, I think that
Dick is as magical as she is.

680
00:34:50.888 --> 00:34:53.891
Like his character Bert
in that movie,

681
00:34:53.958 --> 00:34:57.261
Dick seems to have found
the secret to happiness.

682
00:34:57.328 --> 00:35:00.731
And, like Bert,
Dick is many things.

683
00:35:00.798 --> 00:35:02.266
He's an artist,

684
00:35:02.333 --> 00:35:03.935
a one-man band,

685
00:35:04.001 --> 00:35:06.003
a profound philosopher,

686
00:35:06.070 --> 00:35:07.972
a high-stepping showman

687
00:35:08.039 --> 00:35:10.741
and spreader of charm.

688
00:35:10.808 --> 00:35:12.710
And there's a secret--

689
00:35:12.777 --> 00:35:16.247
good luck does rub off
when he shakes hands with you.

690
00:35:16.314 --> 00:35:18.115
Here's a look at this man

691
00:35:18.182 --> 00:35:20.184
who is endlessly kind,

692
00:35:20.251 --> 00:35:22.386
wildly imaginative,

693
00:35:22.453 --> 00:35:24.455
insanely talented,

694
00:35:24.522 --> 00:35:26.390
and hilariously funny,

695
00:35:26.457 --> 00:35:30.962
as told by his friend
Steve Martin.

696
00:35:32.497 --> 00:35:34.665
STEVE MARTIN:
<i>He's been called</i>
<i>an icon of delight,</i>

<i>a tireless ray of sunshine,</i>

<i>"Steve, this has to be</i>

<i>from Illinois,</i>

712
00:36:11.602 --> 00:36:14.639

<i>theater was a little show</i>

713

<i>called</i> Bye Bye Birdie.

714
00:36:16.774 --> 00:36:19.110

717
00:36:23.447 --> 00:36:25.383
<i>on Dick Van Dyke by giving him</i>

718

<i>to shoot a television pilot.</i>

725

ESTEFAN:
<i>Here's Bryan Cranston.</i>

780
00:39:39.944 --> 00:39:43.314
Dick Van Dyke was
my boyhood idol

781
00:39:43.380 --> 00:39:45.516
and an inspiration to becoming
an actor.

782
00:39:45.583 --> 00:39:48.853
Like everyone, I'd grown up
watching his comic genius

783
00:39:48.919 --> 00:39:51.989
on full display,
building hilarious moments

784

00:39:53.791 --> 00:39:55.459
But what some people
don't know is

786
00:39:55.526 --> 00:39:57.628
how gifted he is at drama.

787
00:39:57.695 --> 00:40:00.064
Watching him slice
a character to its core

788
00:40:00.131 --> 00:40:02.900
in films like<i> The Comic</i>
and<i> The Runner Stumbles</i>

789
00:40:02.967 --> 00:40:05.970
was like watching

790
00:40:06.036 --> 00:40:08.639

Dick's affability

and grace and kindness

792
00:40:10.741 --> 00:40:12.610
and respect
for his colleagues.

793
00:40:12.676 --> 00:40:15.179
I experienced this firsthand
when I got a chance

794
00:40:15.246 --> 00:40:18.449
to work with him twice,
where he sets the tone,

795
00:40:18.516 --> 00:40:20.751
keeping the mood loose and fun

796
00:40:20.818 --> 00:40:22.586
but always professional.

797
00:40:22.653 --> 00:40:25.623
So, master comic
or expert dramatist,

798
00:40:25.689 --> 00:40:29.326
here is a small sampling
of the 70-year career

799
00:40:29.393 --> 00:40:32.563
of the amazing
Dick Van Dyke.

800
00:40:32.630 --> 00:40:35.266
Comedy is changing,
changing, changing...

801
00:40:35.332 --> 00:40:37.034
(high-pitched laughter)

802
00:40:37.101 --> 00:40:38.803
Good evening, ladies
and gentlemen,

803
00:40:38.869 --> 00:40:40.671
it's showtime right now!

804
00:40:43.741 --> 00:40:45.476
ANNOUNCER:
<i>Starring Dick Van Dyke.</i>

805
00:40:45.543 --> 00:40:47.812
It's time!

806
00:40:49.246 --> 00:40:52.349
I'm Rob, and-and she's--
And we, we have a...

807
00:40:52.416 --> 00:40:54.418
People, people...

808
00:40:55.753 --> 00:40:59.089
ALL:
Two, three, four, like it so
much, we'll do some more.

809
00:41:01.192 --> 00:41:03.394
Is this the underwear
of a criminal?

810
00:41:03.460 --> 00:41:05.629
Cast off!

811
00:41:05.696 --> 00:41:08.833
I want you to know something:
I love you!

812
00:41:08.899 --> 00:41:11.602
Yeah, well we'll put
an end to that.

813
00:41:11.669 --> 00:41:13.337
It's interesting to note
that although

814
00:41:13.404 --> 00:41:16.774
they do still laugh
at slapstick, most people...

815
00:41:16.841 --> 00:41:19.043
I'm Smiley Rogers, your
global encyclopedia salesman.

816
00:41:19.109 --> 00:41:20.377
I'm here to enrich your life.

817
00:41:20.444 --> 00:41:23.180
I don't want
my life enriched!

818

831
00:42:09.026 --> 00:42:10.127
Just once...

832
00:42:10.194 --> 00:42:12.396
Hi...

833
00:42:12.463 --> 00:42:14.899
Who are you to be giving
orders in my hospital?

834
00:42:14.965 --> 00:42:17.434
Martin Rutgers,
National Security Agency.

835
00:42:17.501 --> 00:42:20.237
Chief, I am a candidate
for mayor.

836
00:42:20.304 --> 00:42:24.441
I'm not an alcoholic,
Fran. Come on.

837
00:42:24.508 --> 00:42:26.176
Are you sick or something?

838
00:42:26.243 --> 00:42:28.946
Oh, my, I should say so.

839
00:42:29.013 --> 00:42:31.749
I have one of the most advanced
cases of old age

840
00:42:31.815 --> 00:42:33.550
in the history of
medical science.

841
00:42:33.617 --> 00:42:37.087
Sundown to sunrise,
we felt young again.

842
00:42:38.355 --> 00:42:40.224
I may be circling the drain,

843
00:42:40.291 --> 00:42:42.526
but I got a few steps
left in me.

844
00:42:49.833 --> 00:42:52.236
ESTEFAN:
<i>And now,</i>
<i>here's Lin-Manuel Miranda.</i>

845
00:42:52.303 --> 00:42:54.204
Spend five minutes
with Dick Van Dyke

846
00:42:54.271 --> 00:42:56.407
and you're more alive
than you were before.

847
00:42:56.473 --> 00:42:57.808
He's the kind of
performing legend

848
00:42:57.875 --> 00:43:00.244
you just hope to meet one day
and say, "Thank you

849
00:43:00.311 --> 00:43:02.579
for showing us how
it ought to be done."

850
00:43:02.646 --> 00:43:04.214
<i>Getting the chance</i>
<i>to actually work with Dick</i>

851
00:43:04.281 --> 00:43:05.549
<i>on</i> Mary Poppins Returns

852
00:43:05.616 --> 00:43:07.718
<i>was a lifelong dream come true.</i>

853
00:43:07.785 --> 00:43:09.520
When I met him,
we immediately bonded

854
00:43:09.586 --> 00:43:12.256
over our shared history
with the musical<i> Bye Bye Birdie.</i>

855
00:43:12.323 --> 00:43:14.291
He, of course, for winning
a Tony as Albert

856
00:43:14.358 --> 00:43:16.360
and then going on to give
an iconic performance

857
00:43:16.427 --> 00:43:19.897
in the 1963 film,
and me for playing Conrad Birdie

858
00:43:19.964 --> 00:43:21.465
in my sixth grade
stage production.

859
00:43:21.532 --> 00:43:23.767
My grandmother made
my gold lamé jacket.

860
00:43:23.834 --> 00:43:26.337
Basically the same experience.

861

ESTEFAN:
<i>And now here's Chita Rivera.</i>

892
00:45:20.084 --> 00:45:22.352
When Dick performed
"Put on a Happy Face,"

893
00:45:22.419 --> 00:45:24.254
<i>Bye Bye Birdie</i> soared.

894
00:45:24.321 --> 00:45:26.356
The very first audience reaction

895
00:45:26.423 --> 00:45:28.792
let us know
we had a hit on our hands.

896
00:45:28.859 --> 00:45:31.061
But I already knew
I'd struck gold with Dick,

897
00:45:31.128 --> 00:45:33.597
because we bonded on day one.

898
00:45:33.664 --> 00:45:35.666
The man is pure joy.

899
00:45:35.732 --> 00:45:38.836
Once we got each other laughing,
we just couldn't stop.

900
00:45:38.902 --> 00:45:42.506
In fact, our hysterics even got
us kicked out of rehearsals.

901
00:45:42.573 --> 00:45:46.777
But we were turning the
entire company into a family,

902
00:45:46.844 --> 00:45:49.980
and when you have a great
family, you have a great show.

903
00:45:50.047 --> 00:45:52.783
Dick and I have been
like family ever since,

904
00:45:52.850 --> 00:45:55.853
and I am thrilled
that he is receiving this honor.

905
00:45:55.919 --> 00:45:59.556
In addition to laughter,
Dick has always had a passion

906
00:45:59.623 --> 00:46:01.358
for a cappella voices.

907
00:46:01.425 --> 00:46:03.527

she began when she was only 21,

1097
00:57:25.441 --> 00:57:27.377
called Midori and Friends.

1098
00:57:27.443 --> 00:57:30.313
Even at that age,
this extraordinary artist

1099
00:57:30.380 --> 00:57:32.649
saw the need to bring music
into young lives

1100
00:57:32.715 --> 00:57:34.984
in underserved communities
in New York City.

1101
00:57:35.051 --> 00:57:37.287
And since then,
Midori and Friends has inspired

1102
00:57:37.353 --> 00:57:40.990
nearly half a million students
to become lifelong music lovers.

1103
00:57:41.057 --> 00:57:43.459
And now I am so very pleased
to introduce

1104
00:57:43.526 --> 00:57:45.862
this special tribute
to my friend Midori.

1105
00:57:45.929 --> 00:57:48.364
<i>Performing with the National</i>
<i>Symphony Orchestra,</i>

1106
00:57:48.431 --> 00:57:51.835
<i>here are violin virtuosos</i>
<i>Gil Shaham</i>

1107
00:57:51.901 --> 00:57:54.070
<i>and Adele Anthony.</i>

1108
00:57:54.137 --> 00:57:56.105
(applause)

1109
00:57:56.172 --> 00:58:00.076
Midori's musical identity
is rooted in the music

1110
00:58:00.143 --> 00:58:02.712
of Johann Sebastian Bach.

1111
00:58:02.779 --> 00:58:05.882
ANTHONY:
We would like to play
for our friend Midori

1112
00:58:05.949 --> 00:58:09.686
an excerpt from Bach's
Concerto for Two Violins.

1113
00:58:09.752 --> 00:58:12.722
Much love to you, Midori.

ANNOUNCER:
<i>Next, our celebration</i>
<i>of the arts continues</i>

1130
01:01:49.005 --> 01:01:52.909
<i>with a special performance</i>
<i>from rising stars</i>

1131
01:01:52.975 --> 01:01:54.710
<i>of music and dance.</i>

1132

<i>And later, legendary icons</i>
<i>pay tribute to Garth Brooks.</i>

1133
01:02:09.459 --> 01:02:12.895
Now, please welcome the chairman
of the Kennedy Center,

1134
01:02:12.962 --> 01:02:14.897
David Rubenstein.

1135
01:02:14.964 --> 01:02:18.267
The Kennedy Center exists as
a performing arts center

1136
01:02:18.334 --> 01:02:19.836
as well as a living memorial

1137
01:02:19.902 --> 01:02:22.371
to the legacy of
President John F. Kennedy.

1138
01:02:22.438 --> 01:02:25.208
Under federal law,
we are a platform to encourage

1139
01:02:25.274 --> 01:02:27.510
and foster
both artistic excellence

1140
01:02:27.577 --> 01:02:29.879
and education
across the country.

1141
01:02:29.946 --> 01:02:32.014
An important part of our mission
is creating

1142
01:02:32.081 --> 01:02:35.485
a moment for America to unite
and celebrate the pinnacle

1143
01:02:35.551 --> 01:02:37.887
of artistic achievement
through our annual

1144
01:02:37.954 --> 01:02:39.222
Honors celebration.

1145
01:02:39.288 --> 01:02:41.057
Of course, much has changed

1146
01:02:41.124 --> 01:02:44.627
since our 42nd Honors
in December of 2019.

1147
01:02:44.694 --> 01:02:46.329
Performing arts centers
shut down,

1148
01:02:46.395 --> 01:02:48.798
leaving artists without
traditional places to perform

1149
01:02:48.865 --> 01:02:51.467
or create, and patrons
with no doors to open

1150
01:02:51.534 --> 01:02:54.103
to see a show
or listen to music.

1151
01:02:54.170 --> 01:02:57.573
Tonight represents change
and hope for the future,

1152
01:02:57.640 --> 01:03:00.710
and symbolizes the resilience
of the arts and our country.

1153
01:03:00.776 --> 01:03:02.678
Tonight also marks a path

1154
01:03:02.745 --> 01:03:04.313
toward reopening
the Kennedy Center

1155
01:03:04.380 --> 01:03:06.716
and performing arts centers
nationwide.

1156
01:03:06.782 --> 01:03:10.786
I am grateful to our longtime
broadcast partner CBS

1157
01:03:10.853 --> 01:03:13.156
for its dedication
to this year's Honors,

1158
01:03:13.222 --> 01:03:16.225
and to you, for your support of
and belief in

1159
01:03:16.292 --> 01:03:18.194
the importance
of performing arts

1160
01:03:18.261 --> 01:03:20.396
to our national spirit
and culture.

1161
01:03:20.463 --> 01:03:22.632
At the Kennedy Center,
we work every day

1162
01:03:22.698 --> 01:03:25.434
to fulfill our leadership role
in national performing arts,

1163
01:03:25.501 --> 01:03:28.604
education policy and programs
for young people,

1164
01:03:28.671 --> 01:03:30.940
families, adults and educators.

1165
01:03:31.007 --> 01:03:32.909
Not just here
in our nation's capital,

1166
01:03:32.975 --> 01:03:35.344
but across America.

1167
01:03:35.411 --> 01:03:37.980
♪ ♪

1168
01:03:39.248 --> 01:03:41.217
The arts were what
got me through life.

1169
01:03:41.284 --> 01:03:43.052
BAEZ:
<i>Anything that can be done</i>

1170
01:03:43.119 --> 01:03:46.856
<i>to enhance kids' lives</i>
<i>with art, music and dance</i>

1171
01:03:46.923 --> 01:03:48.357
is on the right track.

1172
01:03:48.424 --> 01:03:50.259
Sounds shimmer.

1173
01:03:50.326 --> 01:03:51.494
A little bit more speed.

1174
01:03:51.561 --> 01:03:52.895
MIDORI:
<i>As a teacher, I think it is</i>

1175
01:03:52.962 --> 01:03:53.930
<i>the greatest kind of honor</i>

1176
01:03:53.996 --> 01:03:55.998
to be able to participate

1177
01:03:56.065 --> 01:03:59.802
<i>in the development</i>
<i>of another person.</i>

1178
01:03:59.869 --> 01:04:04.574
<i>I started Midori and Friends</i>
<i>to bring musical opportunities</i>

1179
01:04:04.640 --> 01:04:07.910
<i>and music education to kids</i>
<i>in underserved communities</i>

1180
01:04:07.977 --> 01:04:09.845
<i>in New York City.</i>

1181
01:04:09.912 --> 01:04:11.214
VAN DYKE:
<i>There are schools</i>
<i>that have dropped</i>

1182
01:04:11.280 --> 01:04:13.783
their music programs

1183
01:04:13.849 --> 01:04:15.952
and their dramatic programs

1184
01:04:16.018 --> 01:04:17.353
because of cost.

1185
01:04:17.420 --> 01:04:20.856
<i>We need art, music.</i>

1186
01:04:20.923 --> 01:04:23.226
<i>I think it gives us the deepest</i>
<i>understanding of ourselves.</i>

1187
01:04:23.292 --> 01:04:25.661
GARTH BROOKS:
<i>Things like art programs</i>

1188
01:04:25.728 --> 01:04:28.531
<i>kept me in school</i>
<i>long enough for me</i>

1189
01:04:28.598 --> 01:04:31.601
to mature enough to go,
"Oh, I need an education."

1190
01:04:31.667 --> 01:04:33.069
<i>That was the joy</i>
<i>of going to school,</i>

1191
01:04:33.135 --> 01:04:35.538
was you had
these other programs.

1192
01:04:37.306 --> 01:04:38.574
I created DADA

1193
01:04:38.641 --> 01:04:41.010
<i>because young people are</i>

1194

1195
01:04:44.146 --> 01:04:47.883
<i>and we have to let them dream.</i>

1196
01:04:47.950 --> 01:04:51.654
Well, what makes you think
you couldn't do that?

1197
01:04:51.721 --> 01:04:54.490
I always let them know
that they can do it.

1198
01:04:54.557 --> 01:04:58.194
<i>They must be able</i>
<i>to make the world feel.</i>

1199
01:04:58.261 --> 01:05:00.429
<i>And that's the heartbeat</i>
<i>of the Kennedy Center.</i>

1200
01:05:00.496 --> 01:05:02.131
(cheers and applause)

1201
01:05:06.602 --> 01:05:08.804
Arts education is a passion
shared by all

1202
01:05:08.871 --> 01:05:10.740
of this year's honorees.

1203
01:05:10.806 --> 01:05:12.608
Of the many charitable
foundations

1204
01:05:12.675 --> 01:05:14.310
Midori has established

1205
01:05:14.377 --> 01:05:16.912
is her Orchestra Residencies
Program,

1206
01:05:16.979 --> 01:05:20.216
which keeps young musicians
engaged, excited

1207
01:05:20.283 --> 01:05:23.552
and motivated during
these unusual times.

1208
01:05:23.619 --> 01:05:26.789
Likewise, the nonprofit
Debbie Allen Dance Academy

1209
01:05:26.856 --> 01:05:30.026
offers a comprehensive
dance curriculum for students

1210
01:05:30.092 --> 01:05:32.695
ranging in age
from four to 18,

1211
01:05:32.762 --> 01:05:35.765
regardless of their
financial status.

1212
01:05:35.831 --> 01:05:38.067
And so, with a tribute
to their commitment

1213
01:05:38.134 --> 01:05:41.203
to enriching young lives
through music and dance,

1229
01:09:02.404 --> 01:09:05.508
<i>our spectacular tribute</i>

1230
01:09:05.574 --> 01:09:07.943
<i>The</i> Kennedy Center Honors.

ANNOUNCER:<i> The</i> Kennedy Center
Honors<i> will continue here.</i>

1232
01:09:14.950 --> 01:09:16.018
<i>This is CBS.</i>

1233
01:09:24.460 --> 01:09:26.929
<i>Blue</i> is a remarkable
sculpture,

1234
01:09:26.996 --> 01:09:29.398
symbolizing action, risk,

1235
01:09:29.465 --> 01:09:32.167
performance and energy.

1236
01:09:32.234 --> 01:09:34.436
Those are also words
that perfectly describe

1237
01:09:34.503 --> 01:09:37.172
our final honoree, Garth Brooks.

1238
01:09:37.239 --> 01:09:40.142
His tribute begins
with a two-time Grammy winner,

1239
01:09:40.209 --> 01:09:43.812
Tony Award and eight-time
Academy Award nominee,

1240
01:09:43.879 --> 01:09:45.748
Bradley Cooper.

1241
01:09:45.814 --> 01:09:48.918
There's country music,
rock, gospel, honky-tonk...

1242
01:09:48.984 --> 01:09:51.020
and then there's Garth Brooks.

1243
01:09:51.086 --> 01:09:53.889
Garth is a power hitter,
who swung for the fences

1244
01:09:53.956 --> 01:09:56.392
and shattered the barriers
between musical genres,

1245
01:09:56.458 --> 01:09:58.827
forever expanding the vocabulary
of country music

1246
01:09:58.894 --> 01:10:01.196
and changing American culture.

1247
01:10:01.263 --> 01:10:03.799
With his sensitive storytelling,
he inspired dreamers

1248
01:10:03.866 --> 01:10:06.769
to follow the river
and dare to dance the tide.

1249
01:10:06.835 --> 01:10:09.405
Never one to sit back
and play it safe,

1250
01:10:09.471 --> 01:10:11.974
he sang his truth,
celebrating the lives of people

1251
01:10:12.041 --> 01:10:14.410
who, like John F. Kennedy,
paid the ultimate sacrifice

1252
01:10:14.476 --> 01:10:16.412

1253
01:10:16.478 --> 01:10:18.414
And with his explosive

he electrified packed arenas
and roped the wind.

I'm going to let you in
on something.

1331
01:13:17.426 --> 01:13:20.162
I once told Garth Brooks
when I was a kid,

1332
01:13:20.229 --> 01:13:21.930
I had his poster on my wall.

1333
01:13:21.997 --> 01:13:23.198
True story.

1334
01:13:23.265 --> 01:13:24.933
Back then, he was "the guy."

1335
01:13:25.000 --> 01:13:26.268
And he still is.

1336
01:13:26.335 --> 01:13:27.870
He knocked down
a lot of doors for the artists

1337
01:13:27.936 --> 01:13:30.439
who followed him,
especially performers like me

1338
01:13:30.506 --> 01:13:32.975
who aren't what you would
call "traditional."

1339
01:13:33.041 --> 01:13:35.277
Garth not only made it okay
to mix country music

1340
01:13:35.344 --> 01:13:37.946
with rock and roll,
but he made it cool.

1341
01:13:38.013 --> 01:13:40.549
It's been an honor for me
to walk through those doors,

1342
01:13:40.616 --> 01:13:42.885
a dream come true
to perform with Garth,

1343

Thanks to my movie
<i>Urban Cowboy,</i>

1399
01:17:13.528 --> 01:17:16.565
I've gotten a lot of credit
