.BillyCrystal, IAMQUEENLATIFAH, GibbBarry and dionnewarwick are among the trailblazing artists who will be honored at the Kennedy Center this year.
With this honor, Crystal joins a small group of comedians who have been recognized with both a Kennedy Center honor and the Mark Twain Prize for lifetime achievement, which includes David Letterman, Steve Martin, Lorne Michaels, Lily Tomlin, Carol Burnett and Neil Simon.
Queen Latifah’s presence is particularly poignant as hip-hop celebrates its 50th anniversary with a host of celebrations; Latifah has long been known as “the First Lady of hip-hop.” “When we started on this journey decades ago, we were often told ‘No.’ No, you won’t be able to leave New Jersey. No, if you rap you can’t sing. No, singers can’t become actresses. No, actors can’t also produce,” the multi-hyphenate said in a statement. “To now be recognized amongst so many multi-hyphenates feels unbelievable, not for just me and my team, but for our community.”
Gibb said in a statement, “This is a wonderful honor! It’s hard to be proud and humble at the same time. It is one of the most special moments in my life and something that I will always cherish. When I think back over 50 years to our beginnings in Redcliffe, Queensland, I could never have expected this to happen in my life. Receiving theis something that everyone hopes might happen one day. I’ve often thought about but never dreamed it could come true.
