YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Conan O’Brien received the 26th Mark Twain Prize for American Humor at the Kennedy Center on Sunday.

Among those celebrating O'Brien were his longtime comedy peers Adam Sandler, Will Ferrell, Stephen Colbert, Tracy Morgan, and Bill Burr, along with others who had been influenced by his work, including John Mulaney and Kumail Nanjiani.

The event came more than a month after President Trump ousted the Kennedy Center's president, board chair and Democratically appointed board members. Accepting the prize on Sunday, O'Brien pointedly thanked former board chair David Rubenstein and former president Deborah Rutter. "They're the reason I'm here," he said.
