President Trump, when he came into office, he completely changed the board there.
He was then elected chair.
It was decided the name would then change.
His name would then be put on it along with Trump's.
JFK's name as well.
And after that, ticket sales completely fell.
A number of artists cancelled planned performances there.
The Washington National Opera decided to leave the centre as well.
And in last year's awards, towards the end of the year, Tom Cruise was scheduled to have an award.
And he said it was due to a scheduling conflict, but there were reports that...
that his decision to decline was also a political one as well.
So arguably, this may not be the end of the story.
But I mean, it is a significant story here, because as I say, I think it's well known that President Donald Trump has not been the greatest supporter of the arts.
So to have his name on it has angered a lot of people.
Taking it down now, those people may be happy, but it may not be the end of the story.
And how willing were these people to talk about what they did and how they felt about it?

Idi Amin was, it was sometimes claimed, capable of eating human parts.
It was a gripping match, Celia.
