If you’re getting props in New Jersey, you know it’s kind of a big deal; we are not an easily impressed bunch. But these folks have made their mark on the Garden State – from which they hail – and beyond, earning them a spot in the New Jersey Hall of Fame.

The institution announced its Class of 2022 honorees across six categories Aug. 2.

Jersey’s own Danny DeVito is back as host for the 14th Annual Induction Ceremony, which will be held virtually with special appearances by Gov. Phil Murphy, First Lady Tammy Murphy, Jon Bon Jovi, Melba Moor and “a few surprise guests New Jersey would have never predicted,” according to NJHOF.

Support for this year’s ceremony include Areté-level sponsors Merck, which has its U.S. headquarters in Rahway, and Amazon.

The organization said it is looking forward to returning to a live, in-person program in 2023.

“New Jersey is never at a loss for heroes and role models for coming generations,” NJHOF Chairman Jon Hanson said in a statement. “We are honored to celebrate the lives and contributions of these notable New Jersey luminaries throughout the state, at our terminals and Parkway service areas, and next year at our Entertainment and Learning Center at American Dream.”
