Anthony Anderson Receives Canopy Award at North Fork TV Festival, Set to Host Soul Train Awards

Published

Anthony Anderson is having the kind of fall most entertainers only dream about. The actor, producer and host received the 2026 Canopy Award — the highest honor presented by the North Fork TV Festival — on October 22, capping the festival’s two-day run on Long Island.

The Canopy Award puts Anderson in distinguished company. Past recipients of the festival’s top honor include Christopher Meloni, Marcia Gay Harden and Kelsey Grammer. As part of the ceremony, Anderson took part in a featured conversation and an audience Q&A, reflecting on a career that has moved between comedy, drama and some of television’s biggest stages.

The honor arrives as Anderson prepares for another major hosting assignment. He will host the 2026 Soul Train Awards, airing November 27 on BET and simulcasting on CBS for the first time in the show’s history. It is a return engagement for Anderson, who previously hosted the Soul Train Awards in 2013.

Few hosts working today bring a résumé like his to the role. Anderson hosted the BET Awards in 2015 and 2016, emceed the NAACP Image Awards for eight consecutive years, and took center stage at the 75th Annual Emmy Awards — a run that has made him one of the most trusted live-event hosts in the business.

Between the Canopy Award on Long Island and the Soul Train stage next month, Anderson’s season is a reminder of his range: honored by a festival for his body of work one week, and handed the microphone for one of Black music’s signature nights the next.

Kylie Jenner Launches Khy “After Dark,” a 16-Piece Winter Collection Inspired by L.A. Nights

Published

Kylie Jenner’s fashion label Khy has its winter moment. The brand launched “Khy After Dark,” a 16-piece eveningwear collection, worldwide on Tuesday (October 27), sold exclusively through the brand’s own web store at khy.com.

The capsule is built for the hours after sunset. Khy describes the drop as inspired by Los Angeles after hours — “a love letter to L.A. nights” — and Jenner echoed the theme in her launch post: “LA nights have always been such a big part of my inspiration and i loved bringing that feeling into this collection.” The lineup leans into moody, after-dark glamour: sculpted tailoring, plush faux fur, layered knitwear, oversized bombers and animal-print accents across coats, dresses, cardigans and tops. The standout piece is the floor-sweeping Marmont Sculpted Coat. The campaign, photographed by Quentin de Briey in the Los Angeles hills, puts Jenner herself in the collection’s statement outerwear against the city lights.

After Dark also underlines how Khy does business. Rather than running on traditional celebrity endorsements, the label operates through designer collaborations, partnering with creative founders and peer brands — including footwear label Gia Borghini and Francesca Aiello’s Frankies Bikinis — to merge their aesthetics with Jenner’s vision. The winter drop keeps up a rapid release cadence: earlier this year Khy expanded into warm-weather staples with the silk-and-jersey “Dear Summer, Love Khy” line, then returned to swim with Frankies Bikinis on their second collaborative capsule, “Fever Dream.”

The timing is deliberate. The launch caps a headline week for Jenner, who made her runway debut at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show on October 18 wearing the $50 million Jacob & Co. diamond Fantasy Bra — and now channels that fashion spotlight straight into her own label. Khy After Dark is available now at khy.com.
