The stars came to D.C. Sunday to celebrate this year's Kennedy Center Honorees: Billy Crystal, Dionne Warwick, Renée Fleming, Barry Gibb and Queen Latifah, who became the first female rapper to win the prestigious award.
Among the artists who paid tribute to the Honorees were Kerry Washington, Jay Leno, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Whoopi Goldberg, Cynthia Erivo, Sigourney Weaver, Clive Davis, Missy Elliott and Ben Platt.
The Honorees sat in the box tier with President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden. Over the weekend they attended a reception at The White House and a dinner hosted by the State Department.

"RAPPING"
I Swear This To Be True.
Until The Music Awards Were Presented,
I Had NO IDEA "Rap" Was Even Considered To Be Music.
And When It Became Known To Me, I Think I Must Have Said
Loud Enough For The Police Could Hear Me At The Las Vegas
Precinct 214, About 2 Miles From Here: "YA FAKIN' GOTTA BE KID'EN ME,
RAP'S HONESTLY THOUGHT TO BE MUSIC" !!?
And I Still Feel It's Unbelievable...SWEAR& SCREAM Out Vulgar Word & Make Millions.
Proving, Once Again: P.T. BARNUM Knew EXACTLY What He Was Talking About!~

I'd Have Sent Rich Little.
He's One Man Whom Could Make You Think There Was An Entire Audience Present,
Loaded With Celebrities.
Anyone You'd Want To Hear From, He Could Be Them. .... And Rich Was About The ONLY One Whom Could Imitate Johnny Carson; And Rich Could Do It Perfectly, Even The Physical Motions..
