The Kennedy Center Mark Twain Prize for American Humor Honoring Tina Fey
The Kennedy Center Mark Twain Prize for American Humor is an annual 90-minute awards show for leaders in the field of comedy.

Past honorees have included Carl Reiner, Whoopi Goldberg, Bob Newhart, Lily Tomlin, Lorne Michaels, Steve Martin, Neil Simon, Billy Crystal, the late George Carlin and Bill Cosby.
