The 16th annual induction ceremony of the New Jersey Hall of Fame will honor its 21 new Garden State heroes on December 28 at 6:00 p.m. and December 29 at 10:00 a.m. on NJ PBS. Hosted by actor Danny DeVito, and featuring appearances by Meryl Streep, Paul Rudd, Phil Simms, Cher and Elizabeth Moss, it was filmed at the New Jersey Hall of Fame at American Dream in East Rutherford, originally airing on My9 last week.

The 10,000-square foot NJ HOF features a karaoke stage where fans can sing alongside Gloria Gaynor and Wyclef Jean. There’s even a Late Night Jersey TV Studio where one can actually interview holograms of Jon Bon Jovi, Connie Chung and Jason Alexander.

“My dreams were born in New Jersey, and my imagination was nurtured in her public schools, and for that, I am very grateful,” said Streep.
“What ultimately made me successful wasn’t my God-given talent. It was my grit, desire, and unwavering dedication to never accept failure, which was honed on the running pitches of North Brunswick,” said Soccer Player Tim Howard.
“This is an annual opportunity to celebrate New Jersey’s best and brightest, both past and present,” said Governor Phil Murphy.
