For arts and entertainment connoisseurs, few events are more prestigious than the Kennedy Center Honors, which celebrate people and institutions that have made enduring contributions to American culture. This year, five honorees were named: Linda Ronstadt; Sally Field; Michael Tilson Thomas; Earth, Wind & Fire; and Sesame Street. You can check out some of the highlights from Washingtonian magazine here.

The 2019 Kennedy Center Honors ceremony took place last week at the Kennedy Center Opera House in Washington, D.C. LL Cool J, an honoree from 2017, hosted the event, which will air tonight (Sunday, December 15) on CBS at 8 p.m. ET/PT.
