Trump names Fox News hosts Laura Ingraham, Maria Bartiromo to Kennedy Center board
President Donald Trump on Friday night announced he was naming Fox News hosts Laura Ingraham and Maria Bartiromo to the Kennedy Center board, a month after he terminated its chair and several members.

"I am thrilled to announce that Laura Ingraham and Maria Bartiromo will be joining our Kennedy Center Board - This completes our selection," Trump wrote on his social media platform. “We look forward to restoring the Center to Greatness, and ushering in America’s Golden Age. Together, we will Make the Arts Great Again!”
Several performers have stepped down from the board, like Shonda Rhimes, or canceled their scheduled appearances at the center, citing Trump's takeover. The producer of Broadway hit "Hamilton" announced on Wednesday the play's 2026 run at the Kennedy Center was canceled.
