Where to watch Tom Hanks, Carrie Underwood

CLOSE

WASHINGTON – The 42nd annual Kennedy Center Honors had the nation’s capital rocking and rolling with several musical tributes and numerous celebrities. Sunday was a celebration for the new honorees: Linda Ronstadt, Sally Field, “Sesame Street,” Michael Tilson Thomas and Earth, Wind & Fire. 

The ceremony will air on CBS Dec. 15 (8 p.m. EST/PST). Here are some of the best moments of the star-studded evening.

Carrie Underwood belted out “Blue Bayou”

Underwood paid homage to Ronstadt by singing “Blue Bayou,” a Roy Orbison track the Queen of Rock covered in 1977. Sparkling in a silver gown, the “American Idol” winner showcased her strong vocals in a soulful rendition. 

Underwood followed with a lively “When Will I Be Loved,” which prompted the audience to clap to the beat and Rita Wilson, who was in the audience, to sing along.

A reference to the track made the night prior at a State Department dinner for the honorees resulted in Ronstadt speaking her mind about President Donald Trump, Variety reports. When answering Secretary of State Mike Pompeo who wondered “when will I be loved,” Ronstadt advised “it’s when he stops enabling Donald Trump,” Variety reports. Field’s son Sam Greisman also tweeted of the exchange from his verified account.

Tom Hanks honored his “Mama”

Hanks honored Field, his onscreen mom, by slipping back into the titular character from 1994’s “Forrest Gump.” “Hey, Mama,” Hanks said in his character’s Southern accent, causing the audience to erupt in laughter and applause.

He also ribbed Field for “The Flying Nun” which debuted in 1967 and ran for three seasons. “Not exactly, say Bette Davis in ‘Jezebel’ or Barbara Stanwyck in ‘The Lady Eve’ ” Hanks joked. 

On the carpet, the “Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood” star praised his co-star. “Sally just disappeared. She was just always the mom,” Hanks told USA TODAY. “(It’s) funny, when you work, you see each other, you have a cup of coffee in the hair and makeup trailer, you go over the day’s work and what your life has been like. Because we were friends prior to that, there was no maintenance to it, there was no work. There was just that pure, fabulous sharing of the day’s requirement as actors.”

Big Bird ruffled Hanks’ feathers

One of the biggest of the “Sesame Street” stars – Big Bird –  attended the celebration. “Has anyone seen anyone named Thanks?” Big Bird asked the audience. “I’m supposed to sit by him.” It turns out, he was looking for a T. Hanks (Tom Hanks).

“Oh, hi, Thanks! I’m Big Bird,” he told Hanks.

“Yeah, I figured that out!” Hanks replied.

Big Bird tried unsuccessfully to sit in Hanks’ lap before making his way to join his fellow “Sesame Street” residents onstage.

“Sesame Street” puppeteer Caroll Spinney was remembered

Spinney, the puppeteer behind Big Bird and Oscar the Grouch died Sunday at home in Connecticut. He began his run with the children’s show in 1969 and retired in 2018, due to a neurological disorder called dystonia.

“We’re all saddened by this loss, and the tribute tonight to ‘Sesame Street’ is in his honor,” David Rubenstein, chairman of the Kennedy Center’s board of trustees told the audience. 

On the carpet, Peter Linz who voices Ernie, and Eric Jacobson who brings Bert to life, spoke about Spinney’s impact. 

“Eric and I, and a lot of the puppeteers on ‘Sesame,’ we, like the rest of the world, grew up with Caroll and his characters,” said Linz, who described Spinney as a “role model” and “dear friend.”

“Getting to know him, was amazing,” said Jacobson. “And he came in every day thinking he had the best job in the world, and he wasn’t wrong. And he showed it, and through his work, he touched so many people’s lives.”

Audra McDonald transported the audience “Somewhere” grand

McDonald’s vocals were quite the treat. The multi-Tony Award winner paid tribute to Tilson Thomas, first, with a performance of “Somewhere” composed by Leonard Bernstein. She then impressed the honoree with “I Got Rhythm” by George and Ira Gershwin.  Thomas watched the second number with his mouth agape.

A star-studded rendition of “September”

John Legend, Ne-Yo, Cynthia Erivo and the Jonas Brothers performed during the tribute for Earth, Wind & Fire and ended the show together on stage with a rousing rendition of the band’s classic “September.”

Prior to the show, Verdine White said the night sticks out as one the band’s highlights, and Philip Bailey agreed. “This is the highest of many moments that we’ve had in our 50-year career,” said Bailey. “We’re stopping and really enjoying it.”

ALBERTO A BABY CRAWLING

Alberto moving slowly. As tropical storms are wont to do. A baby crawl best describes its speed.

Soon baby Alberto will walk. He is moving north into the Gulf of Mexico. The waters are warmer. The heat will intensify him.

Alberto’s speed is presently 40 mph. The winds will move more swiftly. How fast will determine whether Alberto turns into a hurricane.

Alabama, Florida and Mississippi are getting ready. Emergency alerts of varying degrees. Florida’s Gov. Scott not screwing around. He has already declared a State of Emergency for all of Florida’s 67 counties.

Scott is deserving of credit. He did an admirable job with Irma. He has things down. Preparedness is the key. Florida will be prepared if Alberto becomes a disaster.

All of Florida has been warned to definitely expect torrential rain and the flooding that will accompany it.

Spent several hours yesterday morning writing next week’s KONK Life column. Nothing like getting ready early.

The title is The FBI of Today The Jews of Yesterday. An interesting analysis.

Dinner at Donna and Terri’s last night. Donna an outstanding cook! Pot roast juicy and tender. A pleasant evening.

Bear went crazy when I arrived. Donna and Terri said he does it with no one else. Donna claims he remembers me because I was one of the first persons he met when he arrived. I also frequently bring him toys and little goodies to eat. Probably bought his love.

When Bear arrived from Detroit, he was small. A little more than a handful. Now five months old. Has he grown! Huge! And still growing!

He was all over me wanting to play for about an hour before dinner. Fortunately, he then tired.

Another attempted rip-off job by a Duval Street cosmetic store. Tesor Rare.

A 70 year old woman from Kansas was staying at Curry Mansion. The Mansion’s manager Phil Armstrong saw her returning with a young man carrying two bags full of cosmetics. He stopped and questioned them. Turned out the woman had purchased $3,010 of cosmetics.

She told Armstrong she was not happy with the purchase. He immediately called the police and took her back to the store. The police officer briefly talked with the store’s employees and the $3,010 was returned.

Last week, Key West’s volunteer citizens’ group Rip-Off Rapid Response Team was instrumental in getting one of the cosmetic stores to return $9,000 to an elderly customer similarly ripped off.

The Curry Mansion woman had booked into Curry Mansion for 10 days. She left the next morning after only two days.

Besides being detrimental to tourists, the cosmetic shops are not helping Key West’s reputation. The rip-offs are signs to many that they should avoid our City.

The authorities have to get involved in the problem. Deeply. Why they have not, I am uncertain. Is it the rents these stores pay to owners that keeps them free from local oversight?

I recall some 15 years ago, a swingers club opened in Bahama Village. The local authorities were not happy with the business. Codes got involved. Violations significant. Existed, not made up. The swingers club closed.

What about the cosmetic stores? Anyone who would cheat the elderly might certainly be prone to cheating the community when in the process of renovating/preparing the store for occupancy.

It is time to deal with this cancer that has infected Duval Street.

Memorial Day Weekend. Tomorrow actually Memorial Day. Also known as Decoration Day. A federal holiday. Celebrated the last Monday of May each year.

The purpose of the Day is to remember those who died while serving in the armed forces of our country.

I know of two ceremonies tomorrow morning. One at the Maine portion of the Cemetery at 9. The other at 10 at Bayview Park.

I do not believe there is a parade. I have checked and thus far found nothing scheduled.

A lot of cook outs on Memorial Day. Hamburgers one of the items barbecued.

The national quick food chains are into the celebration. Tomorrow is also National Burger Day. If no cook out to attend, go to one of the chains. All type sales.

Burger King, McDonald’s and Wendy’s participating in National Burger Day. The best deal is if you have one of their apps. Even without, lesser deals available inside.

Can FOX News be a perpetrator of Fake News? Yes, though inadvertently re the following. Matt Gaetz is a member of the U. S. House of Representatives. A male. FOX News identified him as a Florida Congresswoman. Mistakenly, of course.

Everyone makes mistakes. No one should jump on FOX’s back for its error. Trump should react similarly when the media makes an inadvertent error as concerns him.

Laugh it off, Donald! You take yourself too seriously.

Enjoy your Sunday!
