The stars shined at night in the city that never sleeps.
The media elite gathered at The Pool on Thursday night to salute the 2017 honorees of The Hollywood Reporter‘s 35 Most Powerful People in Media list.
This year’s honorees — including Savannah Guthrie, Megyn Kelly, Charlie Rose, Lester Holt, Don Lemon, Sean Hannity, Anna Wintour and CNN Worldwide president Jeff Zucker — celebrated in The Pool’s private dining room, the Upper East Side venue formally known as The Four Seasons Restaurant and set to officially open this fall. The venue was lined with large posters of the power list honorees as well as Stephen Colbert, who covers THR‘s current issue.
Lemon gave his best Billy Joel impression on the red carpet as he sang his favorite NYC-themed song, “New York State of Mind.” Inside, he showed off his poster to his fellow honorees.

Julia Stiles, Dr. Mehmet Oz, Homeland‘s Hill Harper, Arianna Huffington, James Lipton, Andrew Ross Sorkin, Robin Taylor, Harvey Weinstein, NBC News chief Andy Lack, Fox News chiefs Bill Shine and Jack Abernethy, MSNBC chief Phil Griffin, CBS News head David Rhodes and 60 Minutes executive producer Jeff Fager (with correspondent Bill Whitaker), AMC’s Charlie Collier, NBCUniversal’s Bonnie Hammer, and CNN media correspondent Brian Stelter and wife Jamie also hit the seventh annual bash, sponsored by American Airlines and One West End.
