The announcement was made by Hollywood Chamber of Commerce President Steven Nissen in a live press conference. Joining him were Walk of Famers Niecy Nash, Joe Mantegna, and Jimmy Jam, who celebrated the incoming class. “Each honoree truly embodies the essence of excellence in their respective fields,” said Walk of Fame Selection Panel Chairman Peter Roth.

While the honorees have been selected, they must schedule their ceremonies within the next two years to officially receive their stars. The Selection Panel’s choices were ratified by the Chamber’s Board of Directors, ensuring that the 2025 class reflects a broad spectrum of talent and achievement.
