00:00We have country music legend, George Strait.

00:03George, thank you very much.

00:07I'm going to do this right now, George.

00:13I think if you want to leave it on, you can.

00:15I think we can get it through.

00:17Oh, he's got good hair.

00:18A little bit.

00:19I'm surprised.

00:20Sometimes they take it off and there's not a lot.

00:22There's not a lot.

00:26Thank you, sir.

00:27Great star of Broadway.

00:31I've seen the show many times and other shows of his.

00:34Michael Crawford.

00:36Michael, thank you.

00:42Thank you, Michael.

00:45Let me do that.

00:47Thank you, Michael.

00:48The disco queen, and she was indeed.

00:51And nobody did it like Gloria Gaynor.

00:54Gloria, thank you very much.

00:57Now, that's a good head of hair.

01:04That's beautiful.

01:04Thank you, Gloria.

01:07Alone.

01:09Sly.

01:12This is great.

01:17Sly.

01:18It's an honor.

01:21Thank you, Mr. Frank.

01:22Appreciate it.

01:23Over here.

01:24Yeah.

01:24Sounds good.

01:29That's great.

01:31That's pretty good stuff, huh?

01:32Let me turn that around.

01:39That's great.

01:40I've been a friend for a long time.

01:42Thank you, Mr.

01:43That's good.

01:43Thank you very much.

01:44My friend for a long time.

01:46And I think your father would be very happy to have you wear this, okay?

02:07Thank you very much.

02:08He's a great guy.

02:09Thank you very much.

02:17Those are great people.

02:19In a few moments, we will be presenting these stars with their Kennedy Center Honors Medallions,

02:27which were redesigned this year with the help of the fantastic team at Tiffany and Company.

02:34And I want to congratulate them.

02:36They have done a fantastic job.

02:38They're wonderful people.

02:39I know them very well because they're right next to Trump Tower.

02:42I've lived with them for many years.

02:44And they really have done a great job.

02:46So I want to thank Tiffany.

02:47Thank you very much.

02:48We're also joined by members of the Kennedy Center Board of Trustees who are doing a really great job.

02:54And, as you know, the building is being renovated, fully renovated.

03:04It's being, I would say, fixed at a level that nobody's ever seen before.

03:09We're going to make it something really special.

03:11It is.

03:11It's been tired.

03:13It's been mistreated a little bit like the White House has been mistreated, to be honest with you.

03:17And we're bringing it back to a level that I don't think any place in the country will see.

03:24We were given quite a bit of money by Congress to do the job.

03:32And we're doing it right.

03:34And you'll see the new marble and the renovated marble in all of the different rooms, major auditoriums.

03:41The sound is so fantastic.

03:42One of the very big prerequisites and something that doesn't happen often is when you have great sound, you take advantage of it.

03:50And the Kennedy Center has great, great sound.

03:52If they build it, fellas, you know this.

03:54Gloria, you will see it.

03:55We'll see you next time.

04:09We'll see you next time.

04:12We'll see you next time.

04:17Bye.

04:18You
