- Watch the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor celebrating Adam Sandler on CNN.com or CNNgo.
www.kennedy-center.org/whats-...
The Kennedy Center's Mark Twain Prize, which is named to honor one of the world’s greatest humorists, was awarded to Adam Sandler at a gala performance featuring some of the biggest names in comedy -- including Chris Rock, Conan O'Brien, Ben Stiller, Dana Carvey, Pete Davidson, Drew Barrymore, Jennifer Anniston, Idina Menzel, David Spade, and more -- on March 19, 2023, and aired nationally on CNN on March 26, 2023.
The Mark Twain Prize for American Humor recognizes individuals who have had an impact on American society in ways similar to the distinguished 19th-century novelist and essayist Samuel Clemens, best known as Mark Twain. As a social commentator, satirist, and creator of characters, Clemens was a fearless observer of society, who startled many while delighting and informing many more with his uncompromising perspective on social injustice and personal folly.
“Adam Sandler has entertained audiences for over three decades with his films, music, and his tenure as a fan favorite cast member on SNL,” said Kennedy Center President Deborah F. Rutter about this year’s recipient. “Adam has created characters that have made us laugh, cry, and cry from laughing. I am looking forward to a laughter-filled evening like no other as we celebrate his career at a ceremony that is sure to bring together the best in comedy.”

Conan DESERVES a Mark Twain Prize of his own and heck why not a Kennedy Center Honor... Conan doesn't just needs a friend, he needs a freaking tribute!
Everyone in the audience probably thought the same when Conan was speaking
We all were thinking the same thing.
I honestly thought this video was going to be of Conan’s acceptance speech lol.
I concur
It's coming, give it time.
That is a dude with 30+ years of doing monologues, no flubs, no hiccups, joke, joke, joke, goodnight everybody.
A beast
Very nicely said
I used to watch him every night at 11 when I was like 15-17 he never misses
His hiccups are more funnier cuz of his improv skills
Wrong. He *was* better at this once. But in the last few years, with any public appearance he's made (Emmy's, SNL and this), he comes out nervous, out of breath and high strung. In the 80's, this is what all people on cocaine acted like. Maybe he's been so cooped up doing a boring podcast that any TV gig gets him all wound up.
you can tell Conan really misses being in front of a live audience. Absolute killer performance.
He does occasionally have live audiences for his podcast.
He never seems to be nervous... he was born for this
I didn’t know he doesn’t host a late show anymore.
The thing for me is that I keep forgetting how long his legs are.
I wish they wouldn't have cut the video until he was finished.
I guess I'll have to watch the entire show when it airs
Conan killed it. And the way Adam loved all the jokes and kept looking lovingly at his family was just so sweet
He's like "are you seeing this, this is great, pay attention"
More like, "It's OK sweetie, he doesnt really mean all the bad things he's saying." 😂
For real every single line landed
he wrote the jokes
@@Slaphappy1975If you see the other clips where other celebrities roast their father, Adam Sandler, you can tell the daughters are not feeling the jokes. But with Conan they react differently because they actually like Conan. They're families get along well because they're neighbors and the kids go to the same school.
Conan was the last of the talk show hosts that actually understood and promoted true comedy. He is deeply missed
When I read this comment, I tried to deny that fact.... and I honestly I couldn't. You're absolutely right.
Late night talk shows truly died the second he took his departure.
Haven't watched late night shows since Conan left. Tried a lot of them, but all of them were honestly so bad. Really glad we still have the podcast.
100%
I like Seth Myers, but there's no other late night talk show I go out of my way to see.
Conan deserves to be the next Mark Twain Prize recipient.
I mean, the Kennedy Center can only go up from this year's awardee.
They could make a surprise and double awarded them. I would want to see them dance out of pure joy :)
Actually I should get that award. I feel like I've earned it living my life like huckleberry fin
Nope, Kevin Hart because the award committee now considers "made a lot of money" as comedy greatness.
Conan should host everything!!
This isn't him hosting...
Don't know if everything can take the ratings hit.
Nah. His time has passed.
I swear!
@@missingbitz9831 sorry pal! I disagree.
Man... I so miss CONAN, this is what's missing in the comedy world. His brilliant, quick-witted approach and delivery.
The pod’s pretty fun
Yes! I love his podcasts, but we need more Conan, please! ❤️
Check out his brilliant funny podcast!
I second all the comments here. The podcast is better than the show was.
Check out Conan Needs a Friend. Their video bits literally will make you pee your pants. Especially with Kevin.
Conan is so underrated it's UNREAL
The Tonight Show messed up when they booted Conan! His TBS show was so damn funny! The best skit he did was when Ice Cube, Kevin Hart, Conan & the student driver went out to get food and weed! Look it up.... I cry every time I watch it! (Pho-dee-ounce)!
@@tysonthomas7094 nah his best were the remotes. Those are non scripted nd showcased his humor can exceed borders, languages, race. I don't think i saw any other comedian ever doing that.
@@user-otzlixr Lyft
@@user-otzlixr that kinda was a promo. Their ride along movies. But it definitely became skits since they never mentioned the movie at all.
@@THECAR99 it was a Lyft promo for the original video and then the second video it was for the Ride Along sequel
Conan needs to win one of these
I doubt he will be given the award as he did not do standup and many purists believe he is not a real comedian
@@abisheknayyar Julia Louis Dreyfus won the Twain Prize a few years ago and she’s never done standup comedy in her life, whereas Conan kinda did that every day for 30 years on live TV
He already has but no one is smart enough to give him one
@@abisheknayyar If Leno and Letterman has won this award, there's no reason Conan shouldn't win one.
@@bobbymoss6160 Ellen won one. Jesus
The way he looks at his daughter and enjoys the view of her having a blast. Top tier wholesome.
I was going to write this but scrolled to see if anyone else noticed ❤️ at one point Adam did a double glance at his daughters when he saw them laugh- heart melting.
@@Sbw1976yes indeed. Really touching. :)
Top tier??
Finally Conan back on TV.
Yes!!! ❤️
Yay
"That's a goodie!" That was cute when Adam reacted that way to Conan's joke about him asking if Mark Twain is Shania Twain's brother.
Julia Louis-Dreyfus made "Shania" Twain jokes at her ceremony - Conan "borrowed" that line. JLD's acceptance speech was pure gold. If you have a chance, watch her on TH-cam!
Amy Poehler did a similar joke 9 yrs ago at Tina Fey - Mark Twain tribute
I never knew I needed Conan to do a roast until now
Are you new to Conan? He’s been roasting people for 30 years.
Search his roast of NFL when he hosted one of the awards show for nfl
white house press correspondents dinner
He mostly roasts himself
On-tv, Conan's persona was so self affacing, but behind the scenes/ on the podcast you you see how hilariously cruel he can be. I definitely want to see more of unleashed, catty b**** Conan
It was so touching of Conan to come all the way here and say such kind things whist wearing a suit that once fit properly.
I mean he's so tall, it's unaffordable to tailor all that fabric, especially with the tv show off the air
@@Carlteezus this has to be a joke right 😂
He is going to be livid about how that suit fit him. I predict he will dedicate 5 mins to it on his podcast
😂😂😂
@@Chupacvabra I don’t listen to his podcast, so I’m going to need you to report back on this lol
Conan O'Brien better be winning this award next! He is an icon in comedy and entertainment who deserves endless praise.
Conan should be getting a prize like this, everything from his work on the Simpsons , To his cultural exploration documentaries, being one of the only talk show host who includes and treats his staff right, he’s still doing things now
I almost spit out my water at the “first award he’s received where he hasn’t been slimed”
Conan O'Brien is my favorite. What a stud. Living legend.
SAME!!!♥️
Stop it, Conan. We know its you.
Conan's suit button is working almost as hard as Adam 😂
Harder, it looks like.
Conan may work hard, but his suit button works harder
I hate to say that I was distracted by how badly Conan's jacket didn't fit.
Was there an explanation somewhere on why he's wearing a jacket that he's clearly a bit small for him? Was it for a comedic effect? Was this a last minute replacement because the well-fitting one got dirty? Did he pack the wrong jacket?
All the success conan has had i still say he is massively underrated. He has proven time and again that he is able to hold his own with some of greatest comedians ever.
Conan is in the zone man. He probably missed talking to a crowd since he's a podcast master now.
Conan O’Brien is the greatest of all time… love his monologues ❤️
That was so good. Conan is the best. And yes, Adam Sandler might not be you cup of tea, but let's be honest, he's a good person and he made a lot of people laugh.
Why do people keep saying he is a good person? I've heard it a lot, what are some of the things he has done which make him a good person?
@@aFoxyFox.from what I heard, its just the way he treats other people. No matter what your social class, race, religion, gender, etc, he will treat you with respect and kindness.
Try saying hi to him if you meet him someday. I bet you will get a good wholesome story out of the encounter.
@@aFoxyFox. he saved many struggling actors who became his lifelong friends. He's not a nepo baby or has much connections. But he struggled to be what he's today hence he never let fame get into his head
2:05-2:20
Look at the way he looks at his daughters. He loves them so much and looks at them with so much pride. What a good dad. I love Adam.
Conan is the funniest dude, he never fails anything he shows up in. Make him the host for all the shows.
Conan is such a good orator and has perfect stage presence, brilliant
Years of practice. Conan makes it look so easy. All that live experience clearly shows. Great writer and comedian in his own right.
never knew i'd miss conan in front of an audience. it's good to see it again. ever since his show ended i cant find another show that has his vibe.
So good to see Conan on Stage. He should host more shows.
"It's the first award he's received where he hasn't been slimed" LOLOLOL
So many big stars gave awesome speeches but this is a level beyond. Conan stole the show. He's so effortless and natural it's crazy! Wish he came back with the talk show.❤
Adam Sandler is such a nice person, who lives his life WITH and FOR his friends and family. It's so nice to see a wholesome, kind, humble person. His acceptance speech was beautiful 💙💙💙
Can't believe these guys are neighbors. If I'd live on that block I'd probably die of laughter. I can imagine holidays. 😂🙌
Conan talking about him yelling “Cooooooneeeey” as he walks past his house is hilarious
And Kevin Nealon around the corner
It has been said that Conan hosts epic Christmas parties.
Wish Chris Farley could be a neighbor with Adam Sandler, too. 😢
@@10100110101So true he does that.. They are really close. They even attend each other's Christmas parties. So cool love them to.
Conan's intro for Adam at the AARP awards is still the best intro for someone I've ever seen.
Conan is the BEST!!! adore their friendship. CONGRATS Sandman!!
the way Adam looks over at his daughters while they’re enjoying themselves and laughing 🥹🥹🥹
This is why I never miss any of his podcasts each week
How do you feel about being Conan's friend?
@@iamworthy1302 I feel like most guests use the word "ambivalent" a lot.
I love how Sandman kept looking over at his daughters to see if they were laughing ❤
PS, GIVE COCO THE DAMN AWARD
Conan deserves Mark Twain prize
This Conan guy is pretty good. He should host a talk show
Him getting a kick out of his kids laughing at him is so relatable. Enjoy it Adam ❤
That's a fine dose of roasting and eloquent words.
The Mark Twain Prize needs to win Conan at some point.
To me 4rn India, Conan is THE comic legend the whole planet looks up to ... Late night television was born only later 4 Conan to come in n take over 👆 💯 🌎 ..
Conan, Sandler and Jim Carrey are one of the best and most allrounder comedians of all time!
There is no one more intelligent, sharp, witty, and hilarious than that man right there. Love you, Coco.
that uber driver punch line killed me 🤣🤣🤣
Norm MacDonald Style
1:15 that Schneider joke was gold; in 90's and 2000's we had a small group to hang out with and our favorite comedian was Rob Schneider
Miss this dude on late night lol. He is the best 😂
He just LIT that stage up like he always did. Miss him standing up.
Conan is a legend of his own. The only one who never bent the knee to the ideological mob that took over latenight.
Facts
The ideology is mainly to kiss celebrity butt and make them feel like they're demi-gods or something, and he wouldn't do it.
Leno, Fallon etc. were happy to do it.
What do you mean by this?
@@jelle902 i mean he was doing classic late night, not political commentary disguised as comedy like everyone else is doing.
@@SeraphsWitnesshe did, just not as much.
Conan needs to host EVERY award show, period. The guy is top of the tops.
“Schneid man!” 😂 i didn’t expect sandler to shout that out of nowhere
Conan is such a good speaker - so quick off the mark.... One of my all time favourites.
Conan killed it
Conan for Oscar hosting
I see Conan and I click! Especially when he’s talking about someone great! Comedy royalty! 😊
He really laughs out loud like he does in his movies. Genuine
Damn, the jokes in this one were so good. He'd be a great stand-up
Fucking hell, Conan's presence and confidence is beyond incredible!!
I miss Conan so damn much! He is my favorite talk show host and one of my favorite comedians. The fact that he doesn't have a Mark Twain Prize award, SHOCKS me. He's a legend and the fact that they don't see that, really pisses me off.
Conan is the BEST !
Conan killed it. He'll be here winning soon.
Conan is a monster...Really owns ish and carrying his brand amazingly.
Conan is just so dang smooth. His comedy, timing and eloquent monologues make him another comedic genius in a different light than Adam. No late night talk show host ever made me laugh more than Conan. My favorite.
conan and adam are my comedy idols
Conan is a genius in his own right. He deserves this award also
The work of a pro, everybody.
Conan rocked this! Hey Kennedy Center... where is Conan's award????? He deserves it more than any.
we need more Conan monologues. Come back Conan! (to TV I mean)
Love Conan!!!!
What a fantastic opening to a speech! (well, also a great middle and nice close. Conan is always such a class act.)
God Conan always kills it 😂
Conan is definitely in line to receive the Mark Twain Prize. He already has a close relationship with the Kennedy family since he's on the board of directors for the Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum.
i'm just a random guy from the middle of nowhere in Brazil but i really need to state this: love you Conan and love you Adam
Conan is the best speaker at these type of events.
just shows how freaking amazing Conan is! Happy for Sandler and can't wait for Conan's turn!!!
Never been a huge Conan fan and now I regret that I wasn’t… because he absolutely CRUSHED this
Adam Sandler, such a nice guy. He brought so much laughter to everyone and he deserves this! Conan is a treasure! He's also a freakin' hysterical guy too.
Conan is a gem.
Conan should be next having the mark Twain award!🙏🙏🙏
I wish I had friends like Adam’s friends and I wish i had a friend like Adam. Looks like they had great times and love for one another for so many years. Nowadays you can only wish for 1 good genuine loyal friend but he’s got countless. He treats them all like his own family. Love Adam! Great man and great heart!
Conan in a suit, giving a monologue, crushing it...this is what we need in 2023 to get back to normal.
Conan should get a Nobel prize
i was about to be snarky but i thought about it for a moment - all of his hilarious visits to different countries make him a great ambassador of good will around the world.
Brilliant.
Conan for president!
Conan is a fucking legend
Honestly connan O'Brien is like the best host you can have always and forever no other host can do what this man does
It's actually criminal that Conan hasn't received this honor himself. He was the last truly great talk show hosts and he is genuinely incredibly funny. Looked back at past winners, he belongs in that conversation. Although, from the sounds of it, you kind of have to accept the award. At least that's the vibes I got watching Jon Stewart accept it. I don't see Conan accepting the award himself. He has that self deprecating brand of comedy, and I truly think he doesn't view himself in that upper brand of comedy. Despite being a legend and one of the all time greats in my eyes.
These guys kicked life’s azz. Respect
Mark Twain clawing at the inside of his coffin shouting "medula oblongata"🤣
seriously tho love the Sandman. Congrats.
How Conan hasn't received this award yet is beyond me. He deserves it over Sandler, Leno, Ellen, & Julia Louis-Dreyfus.
Put one down to elevate another. Here we go.
Ellen got one? Jeez
Norm macdonald deserved one the most
@@user-ne1tb2cm4d but do any of those people mentioned really deserve that award to begin with
Love the way Adam looks at his daughters when he's laughing at Conan's roasts
I love Conan.
Amazing job Conan ❤❤
Love you Conan...
Congrats to Adam, well deserved. ✊
THANK YOU CONNAN !!!!
This shows once again how naturally funny Conan is!
Something is wrong when Adam Sandler is given the Mark Twain Prize before Conan O'Brien.
Killed it! Best of them all!!!
