“The CBS Kennedy Center Honors, which salutes, each year, a quintet of powerful performers from various arenas in the arts. It's always one one of my favorite TV shows of the year -- and tonight, with its amazing list of honorees and artists, it's the best Kennedy Center Honors presentation in years.
I loved the songs of the Mel Brooks tribute. I didn't know all of them but I sang along with Martin Short -- ‘He rode a blazing saddle’ -- being that Blazing Saddles is the first Mel Brooks movie I remember watching. And Glee's Matthew Morrison singing ‘Springtime for Hitler’ was perfect. The ending with Matthew Broderick singing to cut outs of the roles Mr. Brooks played in each film was brilliant.”
