You can see on Youtube.

I had no idea Norman Lear was still with us. I wonder what took so long to honor the man.
Your life AND your TVs.

You can watch it on cbs.com, I did. Norman Lear is 95.

ratings down because Stephen Colbert didn't host?

I'm watching the first 30 minutes that I missed last night.
I was pleased to see that the people selected to honor the honorees actually knew the honorees. In the last few year, they had popular/current artists who didn't know the honorees.

Personally I think that the way these awards have become as much a platform for viewpoints is perhaps why the viewership has dwindled. It's a shame that some of the speakers can't keep it about the artists and their contributions to our nation. It's sad when you know what is coming in a show that should be awarded and presented on neutral basis.

This show heavily censors the broadcast. If you look at reviews of years past, a specific example is Glenn Close honoring Barbra Streisand. Her entire speech was cut from the broadcast other than the end.

I saw that Luke Bryan sang in the tribute to Lionel Richie and wondered how they came to be friendly, Luke is country and Lionel is funk and soul. I then saw a promo for American Idol and was reminded they are working together on the show.

And the look of relief on Luke's face when he finished said it all. It's very hard to do someone else's song, especially when they are sitting right there.
