>> Announcer: TONIGHT, THE

BIGGEST STARS IN COUNTRY MUSIC

ARE COMING TOGETHER IN THE HEART

OF MUSIC CITY FOR COUNTRY

MUSIC'S BIGGEST NIGHT.

IT'S THE 56th ANNUAL CMA AWARDS.

AND NOW, HERE ARE YOUR HOSTS,

LUKE BRYAN AND PEYTON MANNING.

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]

>> WELCOME TO THE 2022 CMA

AWARDS.

I'M YOUR HOST, LUKE BRYAN.

>> AND I'M YOUR OTHER HOST,

PEYTON MANNING.

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]

I HAVE ALWAYS WANTED -- THANK

YOU.

I HAVE ALWAYS WANTED TO HOST THE

CMA AWARDS.

AFTER ALL, THIS IS THE SUPER

BOWL OF COUNTRY MUSIC.

>> YEP.

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]

I KIND OF THINK THE SUPER BOWL

IS THE CMA AWARDS OF FOOTBALL.

>> EITHER WAY, LUKE, THERE ARE A

LOT OF PARALLELS BETWEEN

FOOTBALL AND THIS YEAR'S

NOMINEES.

>> YOU'RE SO RIGHT.

FOR EXAMPLE, LAINEY WILSON,

SHE'S OUR FIRST-ROUND DRAFT

CHOICE.

AND CARRIE UNDERWOOD IS ALWAYS A

TOP CONSIDERATION FOR MVP.

PEYTON, I MEAN, YOU'VE WON SOME

MVPs.

>> WELL, CARRIE UNDERWOOD AND I

HAVE A LOT IN COMMON.

WE'VE BOTH WORKED WITH BRAD

PAISLEY.

WE'VE BOTH BEEN ON "SUNDAY NIGHT

FOOTBALL" A LOT.

AND WE'RE BOTH VERY NERVOUS

ABOUT WHAT LUKE BRYAN MIGHT SAY

TONIGHT.

>> HELL, EVEN I'M NERVOUS ABOUT

WHAT LUKE BRYAN MIGHT SAY

TONIGHT.

>> BUT LISTEN, FOLKS, I'M NOT

HERE TONIGHT TO TALK FOOTBALL.

I'M HERE BECAUSE I AM A HUGE FAN

OF COUNTRY MUSIC, AND TONIGHT --

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]

TONIGHT I GET TO SEE ONE OF MY

FAVORITES.

THE LEGENDARY ALAN JACKSON.

RECEIVE THE WILLIE NELSON

LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD.

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]

I LOVE ALL OF ALAN'S SONGS, AND

I'M SUCH A BIG FAN OF YOU, LUKE.

>> THANKS, PEYTON.

>> DO YOU MIND?

I WAS TALKING TO LUKE COMBS.

WHAT'S UP, LUKE?

GOOD LUCK TONIGHT, PAL.

NO, I'M JUST KIDDING.

I'M A BIG FAN OF YOURS.

YOU KNOW THAT.

>> OH, YEAH.

I FEEL IT.

WHATEVER, PEYTON.

TELL ME WHAT YOUR FAVORITE

COUNTRY MUSIC SONG IS.

>> WELL, I'M GLAD YOU ASKED THAT

BECAUSE MY FAVORITE COUNTRY SONG

IS ALSO A DANCE CRAZE THAT'S

CURRENTLY SWEEPING THE NATION.

HEY, GUYS IN THE TRUCK, HIT IT.

♪

♪ WISH THAT I WAS ON ROCKY TOP

♪ DOWN IN TENNESSEE HILLS

♪ UP ON ROCKY TOP

♪ AIN'T NO TELEPHONE BILLS

♪ ROCKY TOP

♪ YOU'LL ALWAYS BE

>> STOP!

STOP!

STOP!

YOU KNOW I'M A GEORGIA BOY.

THAT WAS JUST TOO MUCH.

TOO MUCH FOR MY EARS.

>> GIVE IT UP AGAIN FOR ZEB ROSS

FROM CANTON, NORTH CAROLINA FOR

THAT FANTASTIC DANCE

PERFORMANCE.

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]

>> I CAN'T BELIEVE, I CAN'T

BELIEVE WE CUT GARTH'S

PERFORMANCE FOR THAT.

THE TRUTH IS I BET PEYTON THAT

IF GEORGIA BEAT TENNESSEE HE

WOULD HAVE TO CO-HOST THE CMA

AWARDS.

GO DAWGS.

>> YEAH, YEAH, YEAH.

ALL RIGHT.

LOOK, DON'T WORRY, LUKE, I MAY

BE NEW TO CMA HOSTING BUT I HAVE

BEEN GETTING READY FOR THIS SHOW

FOR A WHILE.

>> GETTING READY LIKE HOW?

>> WELL, I DID A LOT OF FILM

STUDY.

I WATCHED EVERY CMA AWARD SHOW

SINCE 1967.

>> WELL, HOW DO YOU THINK I DID

LAST YEAR?

>> I THOUGHT YOU REALLY NEEDED A

CO-HOST.

>> YEAH, ME TOO.

>> SO WHAT DID YOU DO TO PREPARE

FOR TONIGHT?

>> I WALKED AROUND NASHVILLE

TRYING TO FIND A COWBOY HAT TO

FIT YOUR HEAD.

>> VERY NICE.

THAT CAN'T BE DONE, ACTUALLY.

>> PEYTON, LET ME BREAK IT TO

YOU.

I DON'T PREPARE.

I'M JUST KIND OF A WING IT KIND

OF HOST.

>> TRUST ME, THAT'S CLEAR.

SO WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IS THIS IS

MY WORST NIGHTMARE.

BUT IT'S ACTUALLY OKAY BECAUSE I

DO A SHOW WITH MY BROTHER ELI.

I AM USED TO THIS LACK OF

PROFESSIONALISM.

>> BOTTOM LINE, AS CMA AWARDS

CO-HOST I HAVE ONE GOAL TONIGHT,

FOR EVERYBODY TO HAVE FUN, TO

COME TOGETHER, TO UNITE, TO

COUNTRY ON.

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]

>> THAT WAS A SHAMELESS PLUG

THERE.

CROWN ROYAL HAS A DEEP TRADITION

OF GENEROSITY, ESPECIALLY FOR

OUR MILITARY.

SO IN THEIR FIFTH YEAR WITH THE

CMA AWARDS -- COME ON NOW.

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]

THEY ARE CELEBRATING PEOPLE WHO

TRULY DESERVE A CROWN FOR THEIR

ACTS OF SERVICE IN LOCAL

COMMUNITIES.

TAKE A LOOK AT CREATIVETS, A

VETERAN PROGRAM THAT USES THE

POWER OF MUSIC TO HEAL.

RECENTLY I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY

TO JOIN AN INCREDIBLE GROUP OF

VETERANS, AND WE PACKED CARE

PACKAGES TO SEND TO MILITARY

OVERSEAS AS PART OF THE CROWN

ROYAL PURPLE BAG PROJECT.

AND WE ALSO LEARNED ABOUT THE

CREATIVETS PROGRAM.

>> SO I JOINED THE MARINE CORPS

IN 2003 STRAIGHT OUT OF HIGH

SCHOOL.

WITHIN THE FIRST FOUR MONTHS MY

HUMVEE WAS BLOWN UP FOUR

SEPARATE TIMES LEAVING ME WITH A

TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY.

MY BUDDY WAS SHOT AND KILLED

BESIDE ME.

COMING HOME I DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO

PROCESS THIS SO I JUST STARTED

DIVING INTO LEARNING HOW TO TELL

MY OWN STORY AND PUTTING IT INTO

MUSIC.

AND THAT JOURNEY AND PROCESS

COMPLETELY SAVED MY LIFE.

>> HI, GUYS.

>> SO I KNEW I HAD TO START

CREATIVETS TO HELP OTHER

VETERANS TELL THESE STORIES.

>> I'VE GOT TO HEAR SOME OF

THESE SONGS.

♪ TAKING THE LONG WAY HOME

>> I FIGURED I'D SHARE ONE WITH

Y'ALL IF THAT'S ALL RIGHT.

♪ KEEP YOU FOREVER

♪ BABY I'LL BE YOUR DREAM

CATCHER ♪

>> BEING HERE TODAY HAS REMINDED

ME WHY I GET TO DO WHAT I GET TO

DO.

>> THANK Y'ALL.

>> THEY SHARED THEIR STORIES.

THEY SHARED THEIR SONGS WITH ME.

AND THAT TAKES A VERY VULNERABLE

AND BRAVE PERSON TO DO THAT.

>> AS VETS WE ISOLATE.

BUT MUSIC HAS THE POWER TO BRING

SUSS TOGETHER, SHARE OUR

STORIES, AND BRING OTHER VETS IN

TO HEALING AND HAPPINESS AGAIN.

>> TO HAVE A PROGRAM LIKE

CREATIVETS WHERE WE CAN COME OUT

AND TELL OUR STORIES IN A SAFE

PLACE AND CONNECT TO OTHER

COMRADES, THE THERAPEUTIC VALUE

OF THAT IS EXPONENTIAL.

>> THANK YOU SO MUCH, CROWN

ROYAL, FOR WHAT YOU DO FOR OUR

SOLDIERS.

FOR WHAT YOU'RE DOING FOR OUR

VETERANS NOW.

HEALING THEM WITH MUSIC.

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]

>> I AM JOINED BY MARINE VETERAN

AND FOUNDER OF CREATIVETS,

RICHARD CASPER.

COME ON NOW.

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]

RICHARD, YOUR DEDICATION TO

VETERANS IS UNMATCHED, AND CROWN

ROYAL AND I BELIEVE THAT

DESERVES A CROWN.

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]

COME ON.

FOR YOUR GENEROSITY I'VE GOT A

CHECK FROM CROWN ROYAL IN THIS

PURPLE BAG.

A $50,000 DONATION TO

CREATIVETS ON YOUR BEHALF.

>> WE'RE ALL AWARE OF THE

DEVASTATING FLOODS THAT HIT

EASTERN KENTUCKY THIS PAST

SUMMER.
