Pop star Pink will host the 79th Annual Tony Awards on June 7, 2026, at Radio City Music Hall, with the ceremony airing live at 8 p.m. ET on CBS and Paramount+.

The Artemis II crew arrived at Kennedy Space Center to begin final preparations ahead of a scheduled April 1 launch that would send them on a nearly 700,000-mile trip around the moon and back. Countdown clocks are expected to start Monday, with the crew able to launch through April 6 before conditions would force a delay.

Artemis 2, scheduled to launch no earlier than April 1, will be the first crewed flight of the Artemis program and will carry four astronauts on a free-return flyby that goes beyond the moon; the Artemis effort is focused on establishing a sustainable lunar presence rather than a short-term demonstration.
