Preliminary ratings data show CBS’s broadcast of the awards show attracted its smallest audience ever, according to Programming Insider.
The 48th Kennedy Center Honors averaged roughly 2.65 million viewers on Tuesday, falling far short of the 4.1 million who tuned in for the 2024 ceremony, the outlet reported—a decline of more than 35 percent.
Trump, the first president to host the awards, had boasted before the show that the center’s board and “just about everybody else in America” wanted him to serve as emcee for the evening.
The disturbing thing is, everyone could see this train wreck coming, except the engineer. And none of his underlings had the courage to tell him.
