The President recognized George first. When “The King of Country” removed his hat to have the medallion placed around his neck, President Trump remarked, “Oh, he’s got good hair.” George responded, “A little bit. I’ve still got a little bit.”

George and the other Kennedy Center Honorees were recognized during a ceremony held on Sunday (December 7). This ceremony was filmed for a TV special that will air on CBS on December 23.
The event, hosted by President Trump, was filled with tributes to the honorees. Fans can expect to see several musical tributes to George when the TV program airs.
George’s family, including his two grandkids, got the chance to see those tributes in person. Photos from the event show George on the red carpet with his wife, Norma, their son, Bubba, daughter-in-law, Tamara, and grandchildren, Harvey and Jilliann.
Harvey (age 13) and Jilliann (age 9) are rarely seen in public. Because of that, fans who saw them at the Kennedy Center Honors were stunned to see how grown-up they both look!
