Mark Twain Prize for American Humor

Kevin Hart Honored with Mark Twain Prize for American Humor

Kevin Hart receives the prestigious Mark Twain Prize for American Humor, surrounded by fellow comedians who shower him with praise and good-natured ribbing. The event was filled with laughter as Tiffany Haddish, Jerry Seinfeld, Chris Rock, and others playfully teased Hart. Despite the humor, Hart’s impact on the comedy world and his support for emerging talent, like Dave Burd, were highlighted. The Mark Twain Prize, previously awarded to legends like Richard Pryor and Whoopi Goldberg, has faced controversy for overlooking iconic comedians. Sean McCarthy advocates for a more inclusive approach to honor comedians from diverse backgrounds and generations.
