I love watching The Kennedy Center show each year. For the inductee's that you haven't heard of, you learn so much. Plus, you learn so much more about the inductee's you are aware of. Watching the show always causes me to have tears of joy and happiness. Plus, watching the inductee's reaction to the individual's honoring them is truly genuine and totally heartfelt.
A wonderful tribute to a wonderful entertainer. If only Robin Williams could be there, oh the skit or story he would tell. Robin is totally smiling down on Billy
Lin-Manuel Miranda dreamed of doing a Billy Crystal Oscars medley when he was ten years old. Me too...The difference is that he got to do it :-) I get to continue listening and singing along to the original medley from the Oscars with Billy.
Tributes like these are what make The Kennedy Center Honors so special and endearing!! 💙 Watching this last night on CBS was truly a marvelous surprise from Lin-Manuel Miranda as he put on the BEST tribute for Billy Crystal in inspiration for his Oscars' openings! I have had amazing tears of joy for all 5 honorees as they have shared their artistic wonders to the world! All are so deserving of being rewarded and can't help but enjoy all of the tributes! Huge congratulations to Billy Crystal as well as Barry Gibb, Dionne Warwick, Queen Latifah, and Renee Flemming!! 🎭🎶 Thank you very much Kennedy Center!!!
Such a fun video and tribute from Miranda to Crystal and it totally captures the spirit of what Billy used to do at the Oscars each year. But I gotta ask, how did Lin-Manuel Miranda receive the Kennedy Center Honors 6 years before Billy Crystal?!?!?!
No kidding! It's like finding out Peter Frampton only got into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2024. How many countless others were inducted before him? Bill Crystal should've gotten this honor at least 10 years ago.
well done Lin-Manual. You can tell it meant alot to him to perform this for Billy and thats how you get a perfect heart felt performance, Adore Billy Crystal he deserves all the accolades ! Well done KCH!
Lin's talent is seriously other worldly! There are those rare gems that the Universe blesses us with in this existence to remind us that there really is magic out there.
These guys did make Billy light up! I am so glad to see him this Happy as he has entertained the masses throughout these many years and made us laugh when we really needed to!
Thank you so much for sharing this video of 1 of 3 of my favorite actresses and actors, Billy Crystal and our beloved Robin Williams is also a national treasure. Wow, I didn't know that Billy Crystal was honored at the Kennedy center. Now he needs to be honored with an honorary Oscar yes. More than deserved & certainly earned. Of course, Robin Williams did win Oscar. I love Robin Williams so much still. The 3rd time in my life, I felt the floor give beneath me. When I heard he had died. He is my hero in so many ways. Then just an actor. I pray that he is at peace. It took me a long time to be able to let him go.
Come on guys, mention Marc Shaiman in your title or description. You can do better. I also love Marc's face when Lin gives him the little thank you peck on the head when they were finished. He just looks so happy to have been there and done that.
The way Billy lit up when he saw Lin 😭
Humble...I also enjoyed it...SWEET..👌 👍 😘
Wasn't BIlly just a doll? I'd light up too with Lin!😊
Don’t we all 😭
Lin is pure genius. I guarantee he wrote those lyrics. And Billy Crystal looks amazing. Congratulations Billy Crystal!
No no dahling, he loooks mahvelous. I kid you not…
@@DanielSanchez-og4ox 👏😊
Why do you say he is pure genius. What about this is genius..not sure I get it.
Lin actually co-wrote this medley with Marc Shaiman, the latter of whom often did the actual Oscar® medleys for Crystal.
@@DanielSanchez-og4ox 😊
This bit is perfection! The singing! The dancing! Lin’s delivery and authentic enthusiasm are golden.

Yes, I love it too for I find new ways to enjoy their talent with performances I haven’t heard of before. ❤
Yes, love seeing their reaction to the folks honoring them, AND how emotional it is for them to get to honor people they admire so much! 🩷
A wonderful tribute to a wonderful entertainer. If only Robin Williams could be there, oh the skit or story he would tell. Robin is totally smiling down on Billy
Mr. Miranda YOU KILLED IT! Loved every single second!
Love love love this! Big fan of both Billy Crystal and Lin Manuel Miranda. This was unexpected but great!

Very nice Lin-Manuel......👏👏👏 BTW I completely forgot that Billy started his career in the 70s comedy SOAP from which *Benson* was a spin-off.☺

Lin Manuel Miranda is a genius! I never get tired of seeing him sing, dance and make music. It's always fantastic and never disappoints!

Billy & Lin (and Mark Shaiman)... absolute icons of American entertainment.

Not many people alive are universally liked, these two are.

I just realized the Oscar statue has Billy's face
Billy should have been given a kennedy honor first before that miranda guy!!! Crazy!
That’s how you’d want it done!
This was great but I can not believe they didn’t include a pun for Throw Mama from the Train 😢
