Trump as Master of Ceremonies?
Following Donald Trump's Twitter announcement that he will host the Kennedy Center Honors, the nation eagerly awaits the 8 PM event. The former president promises a show unlike any other—or as he puts it, a master class in emceeing.
Critics already smell a new reality show: "The Apprentice: Cultural Edition." Whether Trump will actually be able to present the honorees with dignity or use the stage for political statements remains to be seen. One thing is certain: ratings will go through the roof.
Insiders report that the Kennedy Center team has already prepared contingency plans in case Trump spontaneously wants to give a speech about "alternative facts." The show must go on—even if the host once again wants to be the center of attention.
