CBSN
The 74th Tony Awards were held Sunday night, honoring the best achievements of the 2019-2020 Broadway season. The ceremony was originally scheduled for June 7, 2020, but was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which shuttered Broadway for a year and a half.
The show employed a unique format, beginning with an award ceremony hosted by singer and actress Audra McDonald that was streamed on Paramount+. The ceremony was followed by the live concert event "The Tony Awards Present: Broadway's Back!," hosted by Leslie Odom Jr., and broadcast on CBS and streamed on Paramount+.
The final three awards, Best Play, Best Revival of a Play and Best Musical, were presented during the primetime special.
Barbie Hsu, a Taiwanese actress who starred in the popular TV drama "Meteor Garden" that once swept Asia, died after contracting pneumonia triggered by the flu. She was 48.

We joined him last week at the legendary Canter's Deli in Los Angeles, and shared some chocolate babka, with a dill pickle chaser. "This is the real test," Eisenberg said.
