President Donald Trump has revealed this year’s Kennedy Center honorees, and the list includes a British actor, comedian and singer from decades ago.
Trump announced Michael Crawford – known for playing the hapless Frank Spencer in a 1970s sitcom – as among the honorees in the ‘truly exceptional class’ that excludes ‘wokesters’.
‘I think he’s one of the greatest talents I’ve ever seen,’ said Trump of Crawford, 83, on Wednesday.
The actor whose birth name is Michael Patrick Smith is best known for his role in the sitcom ‘Some Mothers Do ‘Ave ‘Em’.
He was also the lead in the original Tony Award-winning ‘Phantom of the Opera’ musical that opened on Broadway in 1988.
