VIDEO: Carrie Underwood Pays Tribute at Emmys

Six-time Emmy nominee Don Cheadle will present a moving tribute to television's role in the assassination coverage of President John F. Kennedy on November 22, 1963 and then connect that event to the performance of the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan show merely 80 days later on February 9, 1964.

Both of these historic events are often mentioned together as two of the most significant television moments in history, and the segment on the Emmy telecast will explore the tie between them.

Following Cheadle's presentation, six-time Grammy Award winning artist Carrie Underwood honored the music of the era with a special performance of the Beatles' classic "Yesterday." Watch the video.
