“Ratings for the 2025 Kennedy Center Honors sunk to its lowest numbers ever as President Donald Trump hosted the once-prestigious event from the renamed Washington, D.C. performing arts center, which he altered to include his name weeks after its taping,” The Wrap reports.“The awards ceremony drew in just 3.01 million viewers as it broadcast on CBS and live streamed on Paramount+ on Tuesday, Dec. 23, according to Nielsen live-plus-same-day + big panel figures. As preliminary ratings suggested, the 2025 ceremony marked the lowest audience for the Kennedy Center Honors, and even sunk lower than the COVID-restricted 2021 program, which gathered 4.1 million total viewers, its lowest viewership at the time.”
