I wish that would happen, as dear Carol most certainly deserves that honor. Is there someone with the expertise who can spearhead something like this? I would support that. Just saying...

There are more significant artists that the Kennedy Center should be giving honors to. All due respect to Ms. Channing, but no.

"It's now rather very common to hear people say 'I'm rather offended by that'. As if that gives them certain rights. It's actually nothing more than a whine. It has no meaning, no purpose. It has no reason to be respected as a phrase. 'I am offended by that'. Well, so f**king what?"--Stephen Fry

As much as I love Carol Channing -- though not as much as you do -- she has exactly two roles that could be used to justify this. I think there are a lot more deserving candidates.

I think she deserves one ... but so do

in no particular order :
Vanessa Redgrave
Maggie Smith
Helen Mirren
Cicely Tyson
Jane Fonda
Ellen Burstyn
Anjelica Huston
Liza Minnelli
Rosemary Harris

And those are just the women.

Now living in DC. I really have to change my name on the board.

I cannot believe Liza hasn't received a Kennedy Center Honors. That is a woman who deserves it.

Any chance they'd give one to Barbara Walters? Being her retirement year and all?

The prerequisite for receiving a Kennedy honor - must be able to fill twenty minutes of television.

Where does a Kennedy Center Honor rank in terms of awards anyway? Who made it such the high honor that it is? When will Lincoln Center start their own awards show?
