Behind the scenes with the Kennedy Center Honorees: Bill T. Jones, Paul McCartney, Oprah Winfrey, Merle Haggard, more

Every year around the holidays, the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts selects and celebrates individuals who have, through their lifetime achievement in the arts, contributed to enriching and enhancing culture in America.   On December 5th, 2010, the Kennedy Center Honors 33rd Annual National Celebration of the Arts was held and videotaped for a recent television broadcast. Before the gala event at the Kennedy Center, President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama hosted a reception for this year's recipients in the East Room of the White House.

Watch this video which features behind-the-scenes footage and interviews with the honorees at the White House - Paul McCartney, Oprah Winfrey, Merle Haggard, Bill T. Jones, and Jerry Herman.


In order to provide you with a full widescreen-format experience the video may encroach onto the right side column. I thought you might prefer to have the full view rather than a shortened TV-box version. But your best bet is to click the four-arrow icon to go to full screen.
