Conan O’Brien, the beloved talk show host, was honored with the prestigious Mark Twain Prize for American Humor at the Kennedy Center in a star-studded event. The ceremony, which featured a mix of heartfelt accolades and playful jabs at the current political climate, was a fitting tribute to O’Brien’s comedic legacy.

Fellow comedian Will Ferrell, a previous recipient of the Mark Twain Prize, couldn’t resist poking fun at the Trump administration, joking that he was supposed to be shutting down the Department of Education. The evening culminated in O’Brien receiving the award from comedy legend David Letterman, in a touching moment that highlighted the significance of the honor.

The event, which will be broadcast on Netflix, followed the traditional format of showcasing testimonials from O’Brien’s colleagues, interspersed with comedic sketches and video clips. Comedians such as Tracy Morgan, Sarah Silverman, and Adam Sandler took the stage to share their admiration for O’Brien, while also taking playful jabs at President Trump.

One of the highlights of the evening was a hilarious segment featuring Stephen Colbert and Sean Evans, who subjected O’Brien to a spicy chicken wing challenge while asking him entertaining questions. The lighthearted moments were balanced with more serious reflections from O’Brien, who expressed gratitude for the award and reflected on his journey from a struggling writer to a comedy icon.

O’Brien emphasized the importance of the Mark Twain Prize and its connection to the legacy of humorist Mark Twain, who championed social justice and fought against prejudice. He quoted Twain’s famous words about patriotism and government, drawing applause from the audience. The ceremony also featured a parade of Mark Twain impersonators, adding a whimsical touch to the evening.
