🤣🤣🤣"According to preliminary Nielsen data, 'The #KennedyCenter Honors' on CBS drew its smallest audience ever on the night of December 23, 2025, averaging an estimated 2.65 million viewers," Programming Insider reported on Wednesday. "To put that in perspective: the 2024 broadcast averaged 4.1 million."

“The rest,” he wrote in an email interview…, “followed on schedule.”

It’s not uncommon for people to speculatively buy website domains that could be valuable one day, often in an attempt to turn a profit.…

All year, Morton followed news of #Trump’s takeover of the institution — how he purged many of its existing board members, replaced them with loyalists, then announced plans to personally host the #KennedyCenter Honors — & in August he snapped up the rights to both trumpkennedycenter.org & trumpkennedycenter.com.

“As soon as #Trump began gutting the #KennedyCenter board earlier this year, I thought, ‘Yep, that name’s going on the building,’” explains Toby Morton, a comedy writer with “South Park” & “Mad TV” credits who buys political domains & turns them into satirical websites as a form of activism.

On Thursday afternoon, the board of the #KennedyCenter announced it had voted to rename the cultural institution the “The Donald J. Trump and The John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts.”
