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.

Carell has gone on to such a distinguished acting career, people forget how insanely funny he was on Daily Show.
I used to love the debates between him and Steven Colbert. (Even Stepvhens)
Comedic genius 🤣🤣🤣🤣. Its role as Gru alone should let people know that.
Nobody forgot that he wasnt funny. Only you memory holed it. None of the Daily Show was ever funny.
I've never thought about Carrell as a stand up comedian, but now I want to see him on tour.
I think steve carrell was Jonny Salami in the tv show "The Workplace".
The delivery on “unfortunately, the window was closed.” is freaking brilliant. He seems so emotionally detached. Steve is a walking masterclass for comedy
If anyone wants a good laugh, Steve Carell has been on Stephen Colbert's Late Show to tell a more indepth version of this story, and it leaves me rolling in laughter every time.
I believe it was Evie's car
@@marciaricard2125 🤣🤣
I fucking lost it.
For sure - Re-listen and note how he builds the energy as the stories progresses, and they brings it back down for the heartfelt finish. A masterpiece of public speaking.
"He also reiterated that he'd like to see me bitten by a snake at some point." Steve Carell's comedic timing is nearly unmatched.
Is it possible for Steve Carell to get the Mark Twain prize just for this speech? Brilliant. The man hits a homerun every time at bat.
I know, I just happened to see this the other night and he had me in stitches then in tears.
He probably will eventually
I absolutely adore Steve carrell. Yes Jon is great. But I have a special love for carrell. He's really a genius.

Carell's tribute speeches are absolute masterpieces....check out the one to Tina Fey, although this one is even better.
It is a classic validation of a comedian when the audience is in pain due to laughing so much that they have to say 'you have to stop' to the comedian......
Norm's Steve Irwin bit on the Daily Show is a prime example
@@idiotidiot5821 holy shit I was going to say the same thing....... Jon says "please don't do this" while hysterically laughing. One of the best norm appearances on any show. Only second to the conan where he says the famous chairman of the bored line
@@idiotidiot5821 - unfortunately, Norm will never receive the Twain prize. Though he is in the running for a big juicy c*ck award.
I’d only ever seen something like that half a handful of times. Sean Locke also sprang to mind, whom we also sadly lost recently. Loved this whole evening, quite the sendup for a man like John S, who’d normally have none of it.
This is the first thing I’ve actually laughed out loud at in a VERY VERY LONG TIME
One of the funniest things on the Daily Show that I'll never forget is when Carrell went to a town where like 20 some people were marked dead on a censes due to a printer error and he interviewed everyone as if it were a massacre.
That’s brilliant, is the video on RUclips??
WHERES THE LINK DAMMIT
Yeah we need to know where to watch it man
Where is this clip? I have to see this!
Oh, I have to find this!
Decades later, Jon is still fighting for the first responders. That speech he gave to congress still hits me in the gut.
So true-so much compassion.
For that alone I will always respect and love the guy.
@Repent and believe in Jesus Christ riiiiight. I'll do that the day Jesus makes Congress work. Cuz that would take a genuine miracle, not like those in the bible.
It shows just how much our rulers really care for the masses.
@@SaintFredrocks replace "much" by "little".
These are the friends you get when you live a life of kindness, empathy, and humor. You get what you give.
So well said.
@@daveydudely9954 its relative.
But you keep on dooming and glooming over there.
I bet you are a lot of fun at parties. 🤣
Do you get invited to parties?
@@daveydudely9954 WOOSH!
@@daveydudely9954 the grace you receive from the tough times are far greater then anything you get from any lottery you could ever win. Sounds like hokey bullshit but it’s real stuff.
@@daveydudely9954 I'm with you, Homey. Not doom and gloom, just realistic.
The best part about this speech is that Steve does not break at all during any point of it, even when he switches from comedy to genuine heartfelt words. My favorite speech from this whole night
Carell is one of the most skillful actors when it comes to not breaking character. It's part of what got him the part of Evan Baxter in Bruce Almighty
Well said
He breaks at 3:40
The best part was when it ended and we all moved on with our lives, Ya know? Stop pretending Stewart didn’t run away on bone spurs?
@@enigmaficate beat me to it lmao
There's something special about a comedian making a fellow comedian laugh so hard they ask for mercy. This was gold.
“You’ve gotta stop!” 😂
"My years of working with Jon were wonderful, full of excitement, fear, physical distress and laughter" is such an amazing line!
3:05: “You have to stop” . Steve is so funny he had Jon (and everyone else) gasping for air and begging for mercy. A minute later he had Jon (and everyone else) tearing up. The best tribute ever.
This award ceremony was probably the best comedy show in years. Such talent
I was thinking the EXACT same thing…it reminded me of SNL waaaay back when at its absolute peak…just a star-studded cast that never ever misses.
Exactly. Puts the WH Correspondence Dinner to shame.
@@MrGriff305 doesn't seem like this is a comedy show ether tbh.
Didn't laugh once.
@@rd9337 Some people have a more juvenile or simplistic sense of humor, and that's OK. For example, some people prefer slapstick, fart jokes, or "conservative" style 1970s jokes. Also, some just have no sense of humor at all. Whatever your case, I hope you find joy.
@@MrGriff305 I like all comedy types especially dry humor and one liners but that was more like a drunk best man's speech
I have lost count of how many times I’ve watched this. Perfect delivery. With heart. Wow.
I haven’t laughed so hard in so long and then turn around and feel the respect and humble attitude that Steve’s speech provided. That was an amazing speech
Well put!
wasn t it even stephen colberts wifes car;))))
Yes!
100% agree, sitting here radiated from thyroid cancer and my throat hurts and I am crying laughing so hard.
There's no higher praise for a comedian than making another comedian laugh so hard they're in tears and begging you to have mercy.
Carrell is still as Hilarious as ever.
as Carellious as ever
*Carell
And the selfish bastard still hasn’t gotten himself bit by a snake yet.
Carol the real estate agent is still hot as ever
I didn't know you can lose your sense of humor.
Steve Carell is phenomenal in drama roles, but I always love him whenever he is being comedic.
I just love how Jon was the first one laughing before Steve began to tell us about his first assignment on the show 😂🤣😆 Thank you Steve, I laughed so hard I almost coughed out a lung lmao! By far the best speech! And Jon you deserve this and much more ♥️
He knows
Oh yeah! Jon knew what eas coming! 🤣🤣✅
All things aside, the talent that came out of that show is mindblowing - Carell, Colbert, Oliver, Cordry, Helms, Jones, Klepper, Minhaj, Riggle, Bee, Williams…. They were stacked!
Jon Stewart: the man who launched a 1000 comedy careers. However, Carrell's speech was the best: side splitting, and poignant.
*Carell's
What I enjoyed most about this tribute, in slight contrast to the others, was the time and effort Carelll put into making his speech the most enjoyable and entertaining for Jon, rather than the audience or himself.
Very considerate. Very wise.
He's like Jon- the hilarious empath.
That's a good point. It also happened to be the funniest to me.
ruclips.net/video/abQyLL5asxE/видео.html
Very astute.
@@southerntigress Thanks for the kind words.
I think the tributes done by Chappelle & Steve Carell are the best. But it's so hard to determine which one was better so I am going with that they're equally the best!
“Gold jacket green jacket who gives a shit”
ruclips.net/video/abQyLL5asxE/видео.html
Why do you even need to determine a "best" tribute?
They are so good just in different ways.
@@penelopeasmr1009 In different ways? They both went up did their thing and people were entertained with laughter who gives a Rats behind
That speech was not the first time Jon stood up for us firefighters and the police/EMS. Thank you Jon for having our backs, we get paid crap considering how often our lives are truly in mortal danger. Steve, what a powerhouse speech. Both you and Dave had me in tears laughing and crying!
This was one of the hardest times I've laughed in awhile! No one was funnier that Steve Carrell that night. Amazing.
He was good! I preferred chappelle though. That monologue was superb.
Go watch robin Williams talk with the troops....he did a show with the army that was so funny
me too!...lost it at 'he also reiterated he'd like to see me bitten by a snake'
He was good, though for me Chappelle was better.
@@oluwaseyiakinpelu5729we’re talking about something else here.
Man this makes me miss them all together, as a team. Absolutely brilliant together. I remember the post 9/11 show. That was a terrible time in NY, & the country. We were all so young back then. What happened after 9/11 to the first responders, who spent weeks going through the toxic pile of rubble, was criminal. The head of the EPA came up to Ground Zero, & told them.. & the public, that the air was safe to breathe. It wasn’t. I know why Jon advocates for 9/11 First Responders, & veterans suffering from exposure to the toxic burnpits. I saw it all too bc I lived it w/ him. I’ve great admiration for him in many ways, most especially bc he’s such a good human being.
I love that the main cast of the Daily Show w/ Jon are all still good friends, doing what they love. They deserve it. They’re still all brilliant. 💓. I’ll always love these guys.
I remember both
His advocacy in Congress on behalf of the 9/11 first responders is one of those things that sets him apart in show business. Thank you.
pfffff lolol he was devastated? Ya right. Ya he was probably "devastated" that he didnt get the "joo phone call" like Al franken did. OH, you dont know what that is? look it up, it actually happened....
❤️ ur comment.
Sadly that is just a time period thing, toxic burnpits were the last thing on peoples minds and they didn't know any better when breathing it in. A whole city fell to pieces, saving lives and rebuilding was more important to those people in that moment. Today they would over protect you because children grow up coddled and can't be bothered to make any type of sacrifice big or small in order to help a neighbor. And hindsight us 20/20, Wearing a mask was not as acceptable or as common as it is today.
Yep, that's our Gov't, they tell you lies or nothing at all when they are placing your life/safety in danger.
Over 34 yrs ago the USN did not think asbestos was a big deal to us and now we are paying for it. 4 yrs after I got out they demolished the base, which was built during WW2. Asbestos was used greatly during that period. Asbestos ran rapid all over the base. I just wonder how many people suffered, perished behind this, and the Navy knew all along.
I'm glad JS has been a voice for the first responders and the military, I'm glad he cares.
I came here half way through the speech to comment.
Steve Carell NAILED it!
One of the best tribute on Mark Twain Prize.
The best imo remains Robin Williams for Richard Pryor's award night: ruclips.net/video/NMUi14FCnXo/видео.html
I like how Jon cracked up as soon as Carell said venom research facility cuz he knew what was coming.
I still miss the Daily Show with Jon Stewart and all the great people who got their starts there...This is a much deserved award.
Everyone is doing a reunion, why can’t they just get together and do a weeks worth of shows! 😫
I can't describe how much I miss Jon Stewart's "daily" inoculation of Humor, Wit, together with the Kindness and Care pouring out of this Beautiful Loving Human Being ♥
Just excellent. Both of em...Stewart's monologue after 9'11 was something else. He concluded asking: "You know what the view is now from southern Manhattan (refering to the gap the twin towers left) ? Statue of Liberty. Can't beat that." Still gives me shivers.
Two of nicest, most respected guys in the industry. Geniuses of the highest caliber. Known for being kind, thoughtful, humble and generous.
This was so eloquently delivered. Steve Carell is so funny, thoughtful, and interesting. I hope I get to meet him someday.
Jon Stewart was the voice of all of us in his monologue after 9/11
I remember watching his commentary after 9/11. It felt like the first attempt to return to normal after days and days of watching the news and replay after replay of the events that unfolded. The world had to start spinning again and Jon helped us find our footing.
I didn't discover that commentary until after RUclips had truly taken off as a media platform, plus I was in middle school when 9/11 happened. I do remember, however, feeling incredibly unsettled and scared that we (i.e. Southern California) would be "next" on the terrorists' hitlist, even as a child. Years later, I finally happened upon the post-9/11 segment where Jon addressed the country in one of the most raw, heart-felt monologues I had seen. I felt every word of it then, and still do even now. I felt the same when I watched his fiery address to Congress demanding that they do their part to honor the surviving 9/11 first responders, when nobody else in power seemed to give a damn. He truly is an incredible, irreplaceable human being.
@@loeaglelo ❤
John is amazing. He could deliver factual news with immense humor and help us all get through tough times. I miss him.
Steve Carell honored his friend in true comedic fashion. Cheers to Jon Stewart!
Thanks to Jon Stewart, we got to know so many more talented comedians. Steven and Stephen was a joy to watch back in the days on TDS!
Good writing team. Watch Jon Stewart now and you just want to kill yourself it's so cringe when he sold out to a big corporation to retain his white privilege he liked to complain about 247
I love that you can hear him laughing when he starts talking about the snakes. He knows exactly where this is going, it’s been a running joke for 20 plus years.
The fact that Steve can keep his composure while the whole crowd laughs for his entire speech is fucking amazing. Except for the "did i do that" part where even he knew he just threw that in for the hell of it. Jon got the best speeches from his colleagues out of any Mark Twain Price ceremony
I mean he literally had to do it, it was Carrell being purposely "not that funny" as a pivot point into being serious - the whole thing was perfection
Steve Carell's timing, buildup and delivery really is incredible.
The amount of love and legends in that room is breathtaking. I'm literally in tears from these
They're just human beings. Get a grip
@@realityiscool9483 Yeah, but pretty funny ones.
@@krisfrederick5001 ok I'll give you that, ha ha
@@realityiscool9483 Legendary human beings at the top of their respective craft. Get a grip
Carell can take you from laughter tears to legit crying in a heartbeat. The Best!
*Carell
@@jamesanderson6373 fixed it
Absolutely brilliant writing, brilliant timing and delivery. Carell is a master at humor. One day, he's going to be receiving these bits.
I can't believe he got through this without breaking. The Office blooper reels, for instance, showed he will crack up fairly frequently. But he just crushed this and his commitment made it easily 5 times as funny. So great.
Also, "mobile home full of snakes" is one of the funniest phrases I've ever heard.
Nah. He hardly ever cracks on the office. If you watch again, it's usually someone else who cracks, and he laughs to join them and not make it seem like they screwed up the scene. He's almost never the one who cracks first.
He cut his teeth as a deadpan comedian.
He does crack though?
What's funny is that I remember the segments he mentioned!
From comedy to drama, that speech was pure genious. Even better than the full screenplay of some so called "comedy" movies these days.
I’ve always liked Steve Carrell. But this is damn near some of the funniest material he’s ever put together. I might say he completely outdid every other speaker of that night.
*Carell
“Do you remember that, Jon?” The pain in his voice 😂😂😂
Sometimes I can’t believe Steve Carrell, Stephen Colbert, Ed Helms and John Oliver all came from this show around about 6 year time period. Jon Stewart knew talent.
*Carell
Jon Stewart is a national treasure, Carell killed it, great speech
The "free range" part sent me over the edge 🤣🤣😭☠️⚰️⚰️🏅🏅🏅
And especially considering that Jon has a sanctuary for farm animals. I KNOW he was dying on that one. 😂✅
Ah, now that I know this, it makes it more funnier! Thanks for sharing that bit
I am so insanely jealous of the people who got to work with Jon on the Daily Show. For many years it was my comedy dream. He really is an extraordinary person who has left an indelible mark on our medal landscape.
~Trav
I do miss my nightly dose of humor from Jon Stewart on the Daily Show! And, his tireless work on behalf of 9/11 first responders and their families is a testimony to this man's credibility as a caring human being!
I remember Jon on on TV that night in 2001 - it was so powerful for all of us coming to grips with the consequences of 9/11. Steve Carell, Stephen Colbert and Jon Stewart - you guys have always been the best. Thank you a million times
I cant remember the last time I laughed so hard as watching Steve's tribute. I have tears. This was phenomenal
That speech by Jon may have saved my life. I went from Michigan to NYC when this happened, hoping my Navy training in firefighting and first aid might be of use. It wasn't by the time I got there and managed to get into ground zero. But I had 2 weeks' vacation, and I decided I could still schlep food and drinks and help move some rubble. But one day, helping two fire fighters, I saw something I still hate to think about - I could not take it. I left, knowing I might not get back in, got a cheap hotel room and some beer. I think I was on the verge of PTSD. I had never seen The Daily Show, but I had heard it was funny, and I saw it on the cable guide, and tuned in to see Jon talking about people from all over, with buckets, rebuilding, and I realized that he, a New Yorker, was talking about me. He made me realize that my tiny contribution mattered - so I went back. If I had not, I don't think I could have looked at myself in the mirror. I swore an oath in 1981, if I had left, I would have violated that oath, and Jon gave me the strength to keep it.
This has got to be one of the best speeches from any of these award ceremonies. Steve was hilarious and loving.
Steve's delivery is just immaculate
Jon Stewart is one of the coolest people I've ever seen on TV. Brilliant, passionate with an amazing stage presence. The man has sense, talent and a good heart. 💙😎
I once had this very random moment in life, I think about seven years ago, that I was having a conversation with one of my school teachers about me not feeling happy in life. She asked me what would make me happy in this very moment if money or time wasn't an issue. I jokingly said that I would just quit school right now, buy myself a plane ticket to New York (I'm from the Netherlands) and see Jon Stewart's Daily Show to which she playfully responded with "so, what are you waiting for?"
Two days later I found myself sitting in the audience, watching Jennifer Aniston promoting her new film, Cake I believe it was called. It all felt so unreal that the moment I stepped out of the studio I joined the waiting line again to see the next show the very next day! This time Anne Hathaway would be the guest speaker and it took her maybe twenty seconds to accidentally spoil the complete ending of her latest movie which resulted in everyone just cracking up with no time left to actually talk about the film 😂
I don't think I've ever felt more complete in life and sometimes miss the old me. But to think that Jon quit not that long after also makes me feel like the luckiest guy alive!
Great story - and great teacher!
I'm so happy for you that you went!
Wow. He slayed.
That show was really special, with all these talents together.
What an amazing time it was to have lived in where so much that was taken for granted, was ripped away in what seemed like an instant.
I think it says a lot about the people that worked under Stewart. Carrell, Colbert and John Oliver were all under his tree and they are now all just as prominent as Stewart. How many people working on the Ellen show or any other show have held any prominence after they left that organization (other than SNL). Greatness breeds greatness.
Stewart has a helluva coaching tree
Man, he's still got it!
This year's award ceremony was amazing television. The comedy coupled with the sincerity was a real treat.
Yo. Jon Stewart is undoubtedly a 1 of 1. America NEEDS him. So glad he’s being honored.
Omg, I wish Comedy Central would put all the years of daily show on dvd box set. Those were the best years of my life watching the crew on that show!
I watched that 9-11 commentary when it aired live. I cried. It was so raw and honest and beautiful....and he managed to find hope in the moment.
This was a great night for Jon Stewart..glad I was able to watch the entire show.
This is one of the best speeches I've ever seen. From top to bottom, perfect.
My monthly viewing of this video
Mine, too. 😂❤😂
I've watched this bit repeatedly the past couple days and it's just so funny and such a wonderful tribute
A well deserved speech for a great man.
His show surely took immense daily efforts from him, which certainly ended up being too heavy of a burden, but was so precious to us all, and is deeply missed.
Live long, Mr. Stewart !
As happy as I am they all found fulfillment in their own rights, I selfishly wished Carell, Colbert and Stewart would continue on the Daily Show forever. I miss them together.
Last time Colbert was funny
One can dream! He left us right when we needed him the most lol!
Went from busting a gut, to sudden tears. It takes a Jon Stewart or a Steve Carell to do that!
So funny! 😂👍 All these comedians paying homage to one. It's like a roast, but more 'respectful' so to speak. It's great to have a good laugh at the end of a horrid week 😝
This video never stops making me laugh. How can he keep a straight face? HOW, STEVE? HOW???
SO GLAD I took the time to watch this brilliant clip!!! Now I feel like I must see the show in its entirety - not sure why I missed it when it originally aired...anyway, Jon Stewart is awesome, and his Mark Twain Prize was SO well-deserved!!!
I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this!! Too funny!! Steve Carell is a comedy genius.. He delivered this so perfectly!!
Two wonderful, funny, kind human beings. We're blessed to have them. 🥸😂♥️
So glad that I belong to this generation to witness such greatness
Gotta love Steve Carell!!! He was a gem on the daily show as well!!! All of his movies are amazing! He is a GOAT in the making! I felt when Jon said "you have to stop" through hysterical laughter. When you have hilarious friends, you reach a point of laughing so hard you can't breath! Awesome.
Stewart, Carrell, and Colbert…the satire triumvirate!
Add Carlin to that list, and we have Mt. Rushmore. Democracy will not save America. A sense of humor will save Amercia. These kind folks keep us sane.
Stewart and Colbert got woke. They do more pandering than comedy these days. And also are just reading what their writers put together
*Carell
And Oliver :)
@@TheBswan They didn't get "woke," the world around them has simply become even more insane and ridiculous.
Glad to see Carell being funny again, those drama movies he's done are solid, but this is definitely his bread and butter.
So glad I wasn’t there to embarrassingly sob for hours. What a gorgeous tribute
His timing and inflection are just a master class
The best tribute to a friend that I never saw in my life... 👏👏👏
Saw this program, and loved every minute of it! Stewart is incredible, and his social activism warms my heart.
Both individuals are absolute gems of human beings.
Excellent description of Jon. Much admiration. Miss him but I know he is doing good deeds behind the scenes
I like watching these tributes because they are often hillarious, and a surprising number of my favorites are by Steve Carell (for Steve Martin, Tina Fey, etc). This speaks to what a kind friend he is and the kind of comedic talents he does not spare. Also, always the bridesmaid, right? ;)
It's weird and impressive to see Steve Carell fall right back into his Daily Show persona so quickly
I've missed John every day since he left the Daily Show.
IMMEDIATELY rewatching!! 😭💖
what a night of amazing people. well deserved, Mr. Stewart and lol Mr. C
OMG that was awesome and Beautiful 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️
One year after and I'm here again, laughing again, getting moved again. One year later I still couldn't pick the very best of all the hilarious heart warming {and pain relieving} speeches on that fantastic human being Jon Stewart is.
The quality of Jon Stewart is manifest from the amazing speeches given by those who were honoring him. He has lifted a lot of people up to amazing careers.
Steve killed it. That was hilarious 🤣
