Trump's new Kennedy Center hire quits after less than 2 weeks on the job

One new high-ranking staffer at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts is now resigning from his role just weeks after his hire was announced.

On January 16, the Kennedy Center announced that Kevin Couch would be the new senior vice president of artistic programming at the vaunted institution. The Kennedy Center also announced Couch's new role on its official X account on January 22. However, the Washington Post reported Wednesday that Couch submitted his resignation less than a week later.

While Couch confirmed his resignation to the Post on Wednesday, he didn't issue any further comment explaining the reason for his sudden departure.

Prior to his 12-day stint at the Kennedy Center, Couch worked at his Dallas, Texas-based branding agency, CBC Creative. Before founding CBC Creative, Couch managed popular R&B acts, including 1990s group Color Me Badd. According to the Kennedy Center's press release announcing his hire, Couch "oversaw all aspects of business operations, including booking, licensing, staffing, and strategic consulting."

Couch also worked venue management agency ATG Entertainment, and booked major acts in San Antonio, Texas; Little Rock, Arkansas; Tulsa, Oklahoma and Springfield, Missouri. He reportedly booked marquee performers including Diana Ross, Carlos Santana and comedian Nate Bargatze.

"I am honored to join the Trump Kennedy Center at such a pivotal moment for the performing arts," Couch said in the release. "I look forward to the extraordinary creative possibilities ahead — championing our artists and partners to deliver meaningful experiences at America’s cultural center."

Couch's sudden exit comes on the heels of world-renowned composers and performers boycotting the Kennedy Center in response to President Donald Trump's takeover of the institution — including putting his own name above former President John F. Kennedy's on the building's facade. Earlier this week, award-winning composer Philip Glass announced he was joining the boycott, which has also been supported by musician Bela Fleck, Oscar-winning composer Stephen Schwartz, soprano singer Renee Fleming and others.

(Photo by Brandon Sloter/Image Of Sport/Getty Images) Getty Images St. Louis Cardinals lifer Adam Wainwright is a pretty easygoing guy, and not unlikely to talk with you about baseball traditions and barbecue, or even share a joke. That personality came out last week during our Zoom call when I mentioned for the first time that I’m a Chicago Cubs fan. He responded to the mention of my fandom, “So far, I don’t think this interview is going very well.” Yet, Wainwright will return to Busch Stadium on September 19 on a more serious note, this time to honor another former Cardinal and friend, the late Darryl Kile. Wainwright will take the mound not as a starting pitcher, but to throw out the game’s ceremonial first pitch. Joining him on the mound will be Kile’s daughter, Sierra, as the two help launch a new program called Playing with Heart. “Darryl’s passing was a reminder that heart disease doesn’t discriminate, even against elite athletes in peak physical shape,” Wainwright said. “This program is about helping people recognize the risks, take action, and hopefully save lives.” Wainwright, who played for the St. Louis Cardinals as a starting pitcher from 2005 to 2023, aims to merge the essence of baseball tradition with a crucial message about heart health. Kile, a beloved pitcher for the Cardinals, tragically passed away in 2002 at the age of 33 as a result of early-onset heart disease. His sudden death shook the baseball world and left a lasting impact on teammates, fans, and especially his family. Now, more than two decades later, Sierra Kile is stepping forward with Wainwright to…
