(Jan. 14)AP EntertainmentThe Kennedy Center Honors returned Sunday bestowing rainbow-ribbon threaded medallions on entertainment icons during festivities that aired at 8 p. m. ET on CBS. Emmy, Grammy and Tony award winner Dick Van Dyke; legendary country artist Garth Brooks; multi-hyphenate Debbie Allen; singer/activist Joan Baez and violinist Midori, were honored late last month in a ceremony reconfigured for pandemic times. Typically aired in December, the main celebration was filmed over days, sometimes outdoors and in front of smaller audiences across Washington, D. C. 's iconic John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. Throughout the two-hour special, hosted by Kennedy Center honoree Gloria Estefan, the year's guests were revered by stars like Bradley Cooper, John Travolta, Lin-Manuel Miranda and Tracee Ellis Ross. Here are some the evening's best moments, tributes and performances:Garth Brooks, Dick Van Dyke, more receive Kennedy Center Honors in short, small ceremonyGarth Brooks, Trisha Yearwood reveal secret to making marriage last: 'Treat it like a duet'Kennedy Center Honorees (from left) Debbie Allen, Joan Baez, Dick Van Dyke, Garth Brooks, and Midori. (Photo: Michele Crowe/CBS)If tomorrow never comes, the artists paying tribute to Brooks will know exactly how much he loved them. The high-energy performer couldn't help but let his emotion show in Sunday's special. Tears formed in Brooks' eyes as Kelly Clarkson began "The Dance, " showcasing her powerful voice, initially without the accompaniment of instruments. Her beautiful tone hit Brooks, and he closed his eyes and takes in the performance. When Clarkson wrapped, Brooks leaped from his chair. "Whooo! " he hollered and placed his hand over his mouth in awe of the original "American Idol" winner. James Taylor's take on "The River" made Brooks toss his head back in disbelief. Again, tears welled, which he wiped as Taylor sang "'Til what we put off until tomorrow, has become yesterday. " And when Jimmie Allen treated the audience to "Friends in Low Places, " Brooks couldn't help but get up from his seat. He appeared to mouth to his wife, singer Trisha Yearwood, "Oh, I got to" before rising to his feet, causing others to follow suit and clap along.
