In a recent event, President Donald Trump, aged 79, made a notable mix-up that didn't go unnoticed. While hosting the Kennedy Center Honors, he confused Stephen Colbert with Jimmy Kimmel.

The Mix-Up

Trump joked that if he couldn't outdo Kimmel in talent, he shouldn't be president. He also wrongly stated that Kimmel had hosted the awards before.

But here's the thing: Colbert was the actual host for three years straight, from 2014 to 2016. Colbert didn't miss the chance to point this out. He showed pictures of himself hosting the event and humorously called out Trump's mistake.

Historical Moment

Trump made history by being the first president to host the Kennedy Center Honors. The event, which started in 1978, is broadcasted on CBS. Trump also attended the 2026 World Cup draw at the Kennedy Center, where he received the FIFA Peace Prize.

Late-Night Reactions

Late-night hosts like Kimmel and Colbert had some fun with the "fake" prize, as they called it.

Upcoming Broadcast

The Kennedy Center Honors will air on December 23 on CBS and Paramount+. It's interesting to see how these events bring together politics and entertainment, creating moments that spark conversations and laughter.
