Commenting on the prize, Stewart said, “I am truly honored to receive this award. I have long admired and been influenced by the work of Mark Twain, or, as he was known by his given name, Samuel Leibowitz.”
“For more than three decades, Jon Stewart has brightened our lives and challenged our minds as he delivers current events and social satire with his trademark wit and wisdom. For me, tuning into his television programs over the years has always been equal parts entertainment and truth”
- Deborah F. Rutter, Kennedy Center President
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.
As a recipient of the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor, Stewart received a copy of an 1884 bronze portrait bust of Mark Twain sculpted by Karl Gerhardt (1853-1940). Previous recipients can be seen by scrolling down this page.

"After spending more time with his family, he decided to spend less time with his family". This part got me good.
This was definitely the line of the night.
She killed it with that line! Beauty and wicked sense of humor, gotta love Olivia!
@@ChuckWortman terrible actress though
@@rickspalding3047 if you haven't, watch the newsroom; may change your mind a bit
@@Entropy__ out of curiosity I watched a bunch of clips on RUclips, I just don't see it at all. To each their own
I will admit, that punchline got me. I loved how we were set up to believe that John Stewart is humble, given that he keeps his awards in a cardboard box. But no, it’s because he’s “lazy and vaguely disrespectful.” 😂 Actually laughed out loud. Kudos!
That was my favourite line, a very subtle set up. She did great
Great joke because it's not a joke lol
I almost skipped this clip because I had not idea Olivia Munn was on THE DAILY SHOW. I’m glad I didn’t because this was hilarious! One of the best. Her delivery was flawless.
i think it was the funniest and poignant of all of them.
She was great on the daily show!
Same
yeah she likes to throw away the reason she's even successful, but everyone i know knows her from G4, not the daily show. it's okay though she can forget, we won't
i watched for that very reason...
me: 'why the hell is olivia munn on the same stage that Chappelle and Carrell were on?"
completely makes sense now. she killed!
I feel like Olivia Munn is generally overlooked for how funny she is because of how attractive she is (mostly people who haven't seen much of her work but recognize her). This woman can deliver!!!
I think she's grown a lot.
agreed, hey if she can get a guy like John Mulaney to fall for her, she must have more than looks. I always thought that she was funny, too bad she hasnt landed a good role in any movies. And yes, I know she was Psylocke but she had 2 lines!!!!
I don’t feel as though she is either based on this, but then again I’ve never seen her in anything else
@@jjmah7 you should watch the newsroom (especially if you liked the West Wing and want to be tricked by a relentlessly smart and funny script into watching a romantic comedy). She's absolute gold in that
Incredibly common for attractive women of our age group. Intelligence as well.
"Every goddam person has an opinion on every goddam thing that happens every goddam second. Well done, John! Well done!"
Oh, the truth in that statement!!
Olivia has mastered her dry delivery of comedy over the years, she is spectacular...
Her character and her timing on her lines on the Newsroom was spectacularily good.
Dating Mulaney definitely helps
no shit.. she knocked that one out of the park.
Why does she identify herself as Asian-American ? Nothing about her is Asian, she lives like a White person, she married a white person, she retains nothing Asian and she is not proud to be an Asian.
You're all right but then why don't we see anywhere anymore in TV or movies? Are the producers blind or just stupid?
She was sterling in her delivery!!! Impeccably done Olivia!
Thanks
The amount of talent that has followed in Stewart's wake, via the Daily Show, is completely unheard of on cable television, and it will probably never be topped.
The man changed America
Indeed. Stephen Colbert, John Oliver, Samantha bee, Trevor Noah the list is endless.
The only possible exception is SNL. Otherwise, one of the largest sources of comedic talent in the last couple decades
Its more than impressive.
@@prabhavsidhaye5518 The thing with SNL is they've had a ton of flops who never did anything or lasted a single season as well...... Jon's batting average was pretty stellar. Most of his correspondents are well known talents now.
Met Olivia Munn once at E3. She is an incredibly bright and charming young woman.
Olivia. The queen of timing, intelligence and beauty.
It's so cute how you can see him being proud of her at the end. John deserves this and more.
Olivia is so hilarious. We should have more of her more frequently
as opposed to less of her more frequently?
@@vforwombat9915 frequency and duration are 2 different things Vombat
@@steven13929 it's funnier if you assign different meanings to the word 'more'
@@vforwombat9915 I'd honestly prefer that
Olivia Munn should do more comedy, please.
Yeah. I died when she said “it’s too late. “
Drop the kid off at school and get back to work! :-P
There's a reason she absolutely killed it in The Newsroom
Or playboy.
helps that mulaney probably (and rightfully) wrote it
Jon's work in public service is extremely noble and admirable as well. He deserves more than just the Mark Twain award.
I didn’t expect this to be that good but Olivia Munn is sharp and delivers her lines on point! Like a seasoned comedian
I'm sure she's funny on her own, but I wonder if her SO, John Mulaney, did any coaching with her.
The best month of my career was the month I spent working closely with Jon on his film "Irresistible." I was just a stand-in and body double for Topher Grace but when I wasn't working one of his scenes, Jon invited me to sit near video village. So I did. Every day for a month. I absorbed every lesson he has to teach about directing and at the end of that month I had a new friend.
It was absolutely surreal.
She was so brilliant in The Newsroom. So funny and so smart. I want her to get a half-decent movie. Her choices have been rank
Agreed. I thought she was beautiful before but watching her in the Newsroom made me fall in love with her.
Iron Man 3?
@@JustinCoasters she was fleetingly in Iron Man 2 as a reporter
She's to old for a Hollywood movie now.
The writers were really good this episode
Put Olivia Munn in more things!! She has such great comedic timing and was so good in The Newsroom
After seeing this, makes sense that Olivia ended up making a baby with Mulaney.
I want to see her given a chance by Marvel to do Betsy Braddock/Psylocke properly with a decent script and a decent director this time. Maybe she can be one of the X-men introduced, or they could do an Excalibur film in the MCU or a Disney+ series or something. That character, along with Ororo/Storm, Angel and Magneto were poorly handled by Fox in Age of Apocalypse.
She was great in Violet, came out last year.
Also, he gave us a brilliant bunch of alumni with Colbert, Carrel, Elms, Oliver, Munn, Noah, Bee, etc. I'm part of the generation that grew up with his show and the Colbert Report, I'll be forever in his debt for making American politics accessible and funny and wanting to be abreast of what's brewing in DC
Can't forget Lewis Black!
@@ajagoff True, but Lewis Black predates him (like Stephen Colbert).
From Wikipedia: "Lewis Black is the longest-running contributor ("Back in Black") to work on The Daily Show, having served on the show since the first month it was on the air."
Rob Corddry, Jordan Klepper, Nancy Walls (Steve Carell's wife), Aasif Mandvi, Rob Riggle, Mo Rocca, Wyatt Cenac, Jason Jones are some others.
Name one thing he could possibly have done to make politics "accessible". Are you retodded?
The density of talent at the daily show rivaled that of SNL. I wish that was still the case. As much as I enjoy Trevor Noah I think his correspondants are unfunny and one note.
@@memento81 Nah. You were just a cult member. Weirdo.
This was one of the best bits I've seen. Olivia is not only a gorgeous and talented woman but a funny woman. Congratulations, Jon Stewart!!
John Mulaney
@@lastriotgrrl is a very lucky man!
Her delivery was impeccable!!!
She had some of the best jokes, I loved her delivery.
Why do we see less of Olivia! She’s stunning and phenomenal. Comedy is her thing.
Hi Rajeev,
Partly because she had a baby not that long ago. :)
I think most of us didn't even know she did comedy. Her pr is quite terrible.
How did I not know Olivia Munn is a comedic genius?!?! Such a hilarious tribute!
She's always been hilarious and she's 100% right about him.
I'd love to see Mulaney's notes prior to the speech
She is pure gold.
No matter how much one thank this beautiful himan being called 'Jon Stewart' for his contribution in our lives through his comic and satire, it will never be enough.
He is still holding the baton and carrying on for the generations to see and carry on with time.
I've been watching Olivia Munn since her days on that video game network, this speech is probably the best thing she's done.
I watched her on G4 and it's not super hard
Don't forget Kevin Pereira.......underrated and funny AF.
I watched it after all the other amazing and touching and hilarious speeches... and she managed to top them all. In all categories. How is Olivia Munn not filling arenas doing stand-up?
@@1ifemare stand up comedians usually write their own material🤷♂️
Olivia is so good tonight. The full circle comedy, very well written. Hope to see more of her work
mulaney wrote it
The best and funniest speech, well played Olivia!
She killed it!!!!!
Haven't kept up with her ever since she left attack of the show, really glad to see she's matured so much since then, it amazes me.
I honestly miss her on AOTS. Always so witty and quick.
More Olivia please!
Beauty, Organization and humor plus intelligent!!
Glorious
She was incredible as Sloan in The Newsroom. A wonderful actress and very smart Lady.
I hate that when I searched this event Olivia's stuff was way past all the other vaguely John Stewart related videos. This was great.
I was not expecting her to be that hillarious next to every other heavy hitter in here. That "opinion" line made me lose it 😂
I met Jon Stewart at a live taping when I was a teenager, very early on in the shows career, he indeed had a tiny office🫶🏼. I knew him from mtv and loved him, he was so down to earth and kind. That was my first time visiting nyc and I later moved back to start my own career in film. Absolutely loved meeting him.
Wow I had no idea Olivia was a daily show alum and so funny. A great speech!
She's absolutely awesome!
That was a brilliant speech!
I'm almost positive that John Mulaney wrote it, but she definitely nailed the delivery.
@@saiyan26 Yeah, Mulaney wrote it. His words, but she delivered it well.
Nothing in recent days has given me more smiles than this little, lovely, caring, patriotic jew. I love this man with the deepest part of my heart. I didn't care about much of the world until John explained things to me. How he showed the greedy Republicans, and the incompetent democrats. John is a steadfast patriot, one whom I would happily battle for, because, he's right, he is good, and he gives a shit about all of us.
That was funnier than expected, well done Olivia.
She was great, kept a smile on my face 😁
She hit him with the "I Love You Buddy"...... That one hit too close to home😂
Always loved this one… We need more of this one.
Impressive! This was such a well written speech. The world needs more Olivia Munn!
Attack of the Show was awesome, and 60% of that is because of Olivia Munn with her comedy and delivery.
She undersold her time on G4TV. There were some true comedic moments on Attack of the Show. Though her saying McHammer for MC Hammer may be the best accidental comedy ever.
McHammer is a gem of unintended comedy.
"Olivia's Rack" didn't age well
Yeah, her eating hot dogs and sleeping with the host to get the job was pretty funny.
Olivia Munn was the funniest of the tributes. Impeccable timing and hilarious twists. More of her please!
it was basically a roast. she sent him off well
I was absolutely in stitches I could not stop laughing my cheeks hurt my stomach hurt after word she is a comedy jewel and you can see how much regard and love she has for Jon and how much appreciation she has for him if they ever do a roast for Jon Stewart and if she is not the host I’m not even gonna watch
She was the worst of the presenters, stop kissing ass, she will never see this
you’re not going to have sex with olivia munn.
That final punchline PUNCHED!💥 didn't know she's this funny!
Olivia is beautiful, bright, & hilarious. Wish to see more of her.
John and his family are so cute!
Olivia Munn...intelligent, comedic, articulate and beautiful!
Olivia is a character in her own right.... she was awesome on that news show she was in
Wow, that was hilarious and perfectly delivered.
She absolutely killed it. John Oliver got creative and I appreciate that but she easily had the best punchlines and biggest laughs.
I always forget Olivia's start in comedy. Just hilarious
I had no idea she was a correspondent!
Perfected her style of delivery 💯
Every tribute is amazing. Jon Stewart is a living Legend.
Great content Best delivery Olivia’s amazing
She killed it
Olivia crushed it
She was a super talent even back in the gaming days, so it was great that Jon noticed her skills and beauty and scouted her out. She is under appreciated as a comedian. I would have her near the top of the wish list if I was making a comedy film.
That was a great speech
Olivia Munn is one of my favorite actresses, I wish she would work more
Olivia Munn made me laugh harder than any other speaker at this event.
I wonder why
@@TheDrepirela lol
Then you must not have seen Steve Carell's bit. He was hilarious. I'd actually put Munn a close second.
What a charming, lovely lady. I've been a fan of hers for several years. I wish she'd receives scripts that would better showcase her exceptional talent. She is so beautiful.
Olivia Munn gets way too much hate. She’s always seemed cool and she’s still got great comedic delivery
Really? Interesting. She had a pretty big following when she was on AOTS
Well, she was sleeping with the married John Mulaney. Pretty despicable. Certainly not cool.
I mean, sure, but Mulaney should be the one to get most of the hate in that situation, right?
@@Matthew-ve7uv weird how that works
@@PapagenoMF and absolutely none of your fucking business
Damn. Olivia Munn needs to host a Comedy Central roast.
That would actually be a great gig for her, I agree she could kill it.
I miss Olivia Munn on popular programs...
If you are celebrated by Ms. Olivia Munn, you have reached the pinnacle of your art.
This is actually the best speech that night😂
"After deciding to spend more time with his family, he decided to spend less time with his family"
hey, Tom Brady did the exact same thing and we all still know he's the GOAT, same as Jon.
Great job Olivia Munn!
Most underrated speech given for this event, Munn!
My wife out here doing amazing things.
Wow, what a brilliant and hilarious speech.
Hilarious! That woman is hilarious!💗💕👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
man i remember when Olivia Munn joined Attack of the Show! on G4, crazy how far all these actors and comedians have come since 2006
So impressive!
Brilliant!!!
She nailed it!😂😂
Never heard of her...she was great
The one and only Olivia Munn. Shes amazing
she's so effortlessly funny, I wish she was in more comedic roles. did Hollywood decide she was too pretty to be funny or something? it's allowed...
Great speech
Love her
Loving the blue dresses ladies! 💖
This was the best of the lot!!
From all the speaches held this year, Olivia truly had the best jokes. Every punchline got me like the eisberg got the Titanic. True talent was on display tonight and I am so damn happy to see that.
“eisberg”?
@@JasonZakrajsek eisberg is German for iceberg. We don't know TheKaylich's main language.
If I recall, Olivia was on TDS for only like two months. I thought she washed out. Based on this, there must be more to that story. Glad they're still friends.
That was so great 👍
Drop Dead gorgeous, funny, and smart. Need I say more? I love Olivia Munn
Ah! Connection! Thanks. One of my faves
Flawless victory!
This way exceeded my expectations
I wish that "show on a game network" got more love... Attack of the Show deserves so much more praise than anyone knows
