SACRAMENTO, Calif., Nov. 30, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- The California Museum, home of The California Hall of Fame, announced today that the 2010 California Hall of Fame induction ceremony will be broadcast live on Tuesday, Dec. 14, 2010, from 6:00 p.m.-8:00 p.m. on Comcast Hometown Network, digital cable channel 104. Co-hosted by Lisa Ling and Jason Kennedy, this is the first time that the ceremony will be televised live. 

"We are thrilled to share the excitement and weight of this historic moment with Comcast's viewing audience of over 2 million subscribers," said Claudia French, The California Museum's Executive Director. "To witness the collective wisdom, creativity and innovation of these individuals is to truly be an inspired and proud American."

The live broadcast will begin at 6:00p.m., when co-hosts Lisa Ling, and Jason Kennedy conduct interviews live from the red carpet with this year's California Hall of Fame star-studded list of inductees and attendees.

As correspondent for The Oprah Winfrey Show, ABC News' Nightline and National Geographic's Explorer, Lisa Ling has reported from countries around the globe. A Sacramento native, Lisa started her career in journalism as a host on KXTV 10's Scratch in 1990, before moving on to co-anchor Channel One News with CNN's Anderson Cooper at 18. From 1999-2002, she co-hosted the ABC Daytime's The View, which won its first daytime Emmy during her tenure on the show. Currently, Lisa is a contributing editor for USA Today's USA Weekend magazine, as well as the co-author of Mother, Sister. Daughter, Bride: Rituals of Womanhood and Somewhere Inside: One Sister's Captivity in North Korea and The Other's Fight to Bring Her Home. As of Oct. 20, 2010, Lisa was elected to The California Museum's Board of Trustees, and starting Jan. 30, 2011, her series Our America with Lisa Ling will debut on OWN: Oprah Winfrey Network.

Jason Kennedy joined E! in 2005 as a correspondent handling a variety of stories and events for E! News. A native of Fort Lauderdale, Jason's love for reporting began in the fifth grade and his on-air experience began at the age of 15. While attending the University of Miami, Kennedy received numerous awards, including the coveted Associated Press Award for Best News Feature in the state of Florida. In 2004, Kennedy moved to Los Angeles to anchor segments for Open Call on the TV Guide Channel. His experience and talent has led him to report on subjects as diverse as President Bill Clinton to Paris Hilton.

"As the exclusive multi-media partner of The California Hall of Fame, it only made sense to expand our television coverage of this terrific event to a live telecast of this year's ceremony, as well as live arrivals on the red carpet," said Jeff Giles, Director of Comcast Hometown Network. "Lisa Ling and Jason Kennedy will do an excellent job of capturing the excitement and entertainment of the red carpet with dynamic celebrity interviews; and our top-notch production staff will bring viewers the speeches, humor and remembrances of these legendary Californians during their induction ceremony."

The red carpet event will be followed by the 2010 California Hall of Fame induction ceremony live broadcast at 7:00p.m. Continuing the tradition of honoring legendary trailblazers who embody the Golden State's innovative spirit, The California Hall of Fame highlights a broad range of California achievements by honoring those who have broken barriers in not just one field or talent, but have impacted the world with courage, determination and creativity in the fields of science, philanthropy, sports, business, entertainment, literature, fitness, technology, activism and politics.

The extraordinary recipients scheduled to be honored by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and First Lady Maria Shriver with the Spirit of California medal during this year's live broadcast include:

  • Governor-Elect Jerry Brown accepting on behalf of his father, inductee Governor Edmund G. "Pat" Brown
  • Blockbuster film-maker James Cameron
  • Silicon Valley visionary investor John Doerr
  • The family of father of modern banking A. P. Giannini of Bank of America
  • Country music legend Merle Haggard
  • Author and activist Anne Lamott
  • Historian Kevin Starr
  • The family of businessman and philanthropist Levi Strauss
  • Screen and music icon Barbra Streisand
  • Former Secretary of State George Shultz
  • Celebrated artist Wayne Thiebaud
  • Comedienne Betty White
  • International tennis champion Serena Williams
  • Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg
