2017 TIME 100 Gala

Last night, TIME honored and celebrated their annual list of the world’s 100 most influential people at Jazz at Lincoln Center in NYC. Guests enjoyed specialty Johnnie Walker cocktails throughout the evening and toasted the TIME 100 honorees with a neat pour of Johnnie Walker Blue Label. Select members of the 2017 TIME 100 class presented special toasts, including Viola Davis, who honored the remarkable group for their countless achievements, optimism and tireless progression, as she raised her glass of Johnnie Walker Blue Label in the air.  Attendees were also treated to an unforgettable live performance by John Legend that got the crowd on the feet to close out the evening.
