An outstanding lineup of entertainers gathered in the Kennedy Center Concert Hall to salute Dave Chappelle, recipient of the 22nd annual Mark Twain Prize for American Humor on October 27, 2019. The Prize, which is named to honor one of the world’s greatest humorists, was given at a gala performance featuring some of the biggest names in comedy.
www.kennedy-center.org/pages/...
Dave Chappelle is an internationally recognized stand-up comedian and actor whose trademark wit and sharp, irreverent social commentary explores race, popular culture, sex, drugs, politics, and fame. Arguably the most-touring comic on the circuit, Chappelle has performed more than 1,600 concerts worldwide in the past four years, selling out shows within minutes of their announcements.
Dave Chappelle could always make people laugh. Once he realized the power of his natural talent, he set some ambitious goals for his art. As a 14-year-old student at Washington, D.C.'s Duke Ellington School of the Arts, Chappelle crafted his stand-up comedy act out of the realities of his life growing up Black in the nation's capital.
ABOUT THE MARK TWAIN PRIZE
The Mark Twain Prize recognizes people who have had an impact on American society in ways similar to the distinguished 19th century novelist and essayist best known as Mark Twain. As a social commentator, satirist and creator of memorable characters, Samuel Clemens was a fearless observer of society, who startled and outraged many while delighting and informing many more with his uncompromising perspective of social injustice and personal folly. He revealed the great truth of humor when he said "against the assault of laughter nothing can stand."
The inaugural Mark Twain Prize was presented to Richard Pryor during the first annual Kennedy Center Celebration of American Humor, October 20, 1998. The event was created by the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, Bob Kaminsky, Peter Kaminsky, Mark Krantz, and John Schreiber and is televised annually. The Kennedy Center is grateful to Cappy McGarr for his steadfast support of the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor since its inception. Previous recipients of the Mark Twain include Richard Pryor (1998), Jonathan Winters (1999), Carl Reiner (2000), Whoopi Goldberg (2001), Bob Newhart (2002), Lily Tomlin (2003), Lorne Michaels (2004), Steve Martin (2005), Neil Simon (2006), Billy Crystal (2007), George Carlin (2008), Bill Cosby (2009, rescinded in 2018) Tina Fey (2010), Will Ferrell (2011), Ellen DeGeneres (2012), Carol Burnett (2013) Jay Leno (2014), Eddie Murphy (2015), Bill Murray (2016), David Letterman (2017), and Julia Louis-Dreyfus (2018).

Anyone revisiting this after seeing the beautiful/equally hilarious speech Dave gave for Jon Stewart for the same award? Two great gents.
I am!!
yep
The last part of Stewart’s speech is some of the most beautifully profound description of the art of stand up comedy
Pretty sure Stewart wore the same suit.
Ditto
Jon Stewart executed that joke perfectly. Which is why i think Dave stood up and clapped. It was like watching a buzzer beater.
Facts! Well said!
Probably because Jon knew the situation at hand. That's why it's funny. Lol
yea true but still, i dislike this comment
Al Gar why
Well put
This is the most Dave Chappelle joke not made by Dave Chappelle in human history
Stewart learned from the master himself! No doubt about it.
Well put!!!!
very true
I be watched the dozens of times. I know the joke is coming. The only difference now is I start laughing even before the punch line.
and even Dave didn't see it coming.
The setup for that $50m joke was perfect. Right from word one, for a minute and 30 seconds, Jon was setting that up. I was totally sold on a heartfelt compliment and BAM - he hits you with the punchline. "Comedy Central has 50 Million Dollars???"
The follow up was just as good.
I too have watched the video.
thank you for explaining jokes to the rest of us. I needed that, much appreciated. After I read your comment, I thought "oh, so that's how it works..."
@@kiriakoz A setup for a joke is the first part of the joke. It can be amusing in itself or be serious or just an anecdote. (Anecdote: a short amusing or interesting story about a real incident or person.) This gives a premise and will lead into the punchline. The punchline is the second and final part of the joke.
In John Stewarts joke, he pretended to be praising Chapelle and honoring him, all the while drawing the listener into a serious mood, only to spring the punchline on them. The surprise is another key to comedy.
Now I know this is difficult for someone like you to understand If you need more of an explanation, there are some very good videos tailored to grade school level people, such as yourself. Have a nice day.
@@TK0_23_ okay, i'll accept that, you put in the effort to have a go back... i respect that level of pettiness, well done.
Who's here after watching Jon Stewart's Mark Twain Prize and Dave Chappelle's touching tribute?
Me!!
Me
Look at how intently Dave looks at jon when he is speaking and then go look at Jon winning the award and how intentely jon looks at dave. Two legends who truly respect one another
Agreed.
That $50 million joke is timeless. Laughed my ass off.
I love that the joke went over so well that even Dave stood up and gave him a standing ovation.
Even Dave fell for it and was wondering what he was gonna say 😂 Great delivery 👏🤣
This is even more significant now,after seeing Chapelle speak at Jon Stewart's reception of the same award.
I’ve watched this a few times and it still brings tears of laughter. It’s such a brilliant set up and punch line.
That setup was so masterly done, that’s what Dave talks about the beauty of the art form of comedy.
2:42 Watching his mom nod in the background to what Jon was saying got to me for some reason...
Stewart is one of my guys...he gets it. He gets the human condition...its either this or that. That said, he understands better than anyone, that a guy like Dave Chappelle, comes along once in a generation..and maybe a lifetime. You cannot help but think of Richard Pryor when you see/hear Chappelle...Pryor was that same prodigy, that Stewart is referencing. And just like he looked out for Dave early in the game...guys like Redd Foxx and Dick Gregory, looked out for Richard.
The gradual build up to that whopping punchline was one thing…but seeing Dave roaring with laughter, applauding & smacking the balcony in appreciation of this is what drove this home. Two great legends.
The background & build up to the $50 million dollar joke was EPIC! Love these two comedians.
That might be the best joke delivery I’ve ever heard…. Stewart is a true master of his craft.
1:36 JON FREAKIN SMASHED IT. Holy.......I didn't NOT see that coming. Dave standing up was the rightest reaction to this.
Love this. And Chapelle gives the love back at Stewart’s ceremony.
both of them were amazing at their speech, thus the reason they are such 2 megastars.
Comedians are the most intellegent, human, emotional, spiritual, genuine people in the world. If you see someone making people love, you have to know that he is a great person.
This is amazing! They are true friends and I know it was an honor for Dave to do the same for Jon this year!
Dave Chappelle has surpassed all comedians of this generation. Can't think of anyone who is as free of thought as Dave is. Afraid of no one. Cancellable by no one. Says exactly what's in his mind without regards to what anyone says. People with a tiny fraction of his talent have tried to take him down but failed.
I forgot how funny Jon Stewart was 🤣. I used to watch The Daily Show religiously back in the day.
He has a show on apple TV now but they put clips on CZcams. Called the Problem with John Stewart. Has a podcast also. Definitely more political commentary than the daily show was but John is still very much John lol
RELIGIOUSLY
That 50 Million joke is a classic..." I raised it like it was my own LOL..LOL
Jon had us in the first half.
It should come as no surprise that the setup and punch line are comedic perfection when it’s done by a professional. Outstanding.
I have just seen dave chapelles speech about john at his award show. I like how both have their mothers there and how proud they must be.
Through Jon's speech you can tell the kind of friendship he has with Dave. So much respect for these guys. God bless you all❤
Jon is absolutely the best!
Jon is class,heart,mind and humor. Thank you for doing for our heroes.
Had to watch this again after Chappelle gave such a great speech. Two legends, just amazing
As we get older we cherish those amazing friendships. To see that love transposed on film, next level.
Talk about two class acts of human beings. All time greats.
yeah that's becoming less and less true every time Chapelle doubles down on his ignorance isnt it.
Got to love these two, genuine human beings before being comedians, and honest too in a celebrity society where being honest is a major sin.
I love these two Jon Stewart and Dave Chapelle and I’m always looking for them on CZcams
Can we all give a shout out to the editing and camera work on that joke!!!! wow!
Beautifully said. Dave is such an incredible human being. John Stewart is also awesome
This means so much! Hope it finds its way to light. Thank you Dave for the occasion.
Two of my favourites.
And now Dave repaid the honor
Beautiful isn't it?
What a Brothership ❤❤
I love Jon Stewart ❤
True Friendship Is Priceless! ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
I have loved Dave since day one!
Misss watching these dudes on comedy central as a kid man Joe is a legend and Dave
2 of my favourite comedians ever. My sense of humour was hugely influenced by these 2 growing up in the 2000s.
Oh wow. They gave each other the award. Wow. This is definitely great
Gotta love Jon Stewart
I love this , I have watched it so much I’m ashamed 😂😂
The hallmark of a truly magnificent joke or bit is when it gets even funnier if you already know the punchline.
Bless you Jon. Bless you Dave. You pair of absolute fucking legends.
Australians (well, many of us anyway) offer their respect and thanks for your outstanding work. Peace out x
Lmao legends love Jon and Dave
I love the look on Dave’s face at 2:25
OMG …honestly one of the best and funniest speeches ever given in love and jest . Seriously a friendship to admire as 2 people knowing exactly how we feel as a collective being let down Daily ( excuse the pun ) by government worldwide. Thank god we have comedians to life us and make us laugh at life and what in reality scares us as we hope our morals for right and wrong prevail. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🔥❤️
Quite possibly the best set up for a joke of all time
Jon wrote the most Chappelle joke set and absolutely crushed it.
That was great timing! I didn’t see that coming at all.
@kl wies No. Fuqn Yacubians stole history and still aren't satisfied
Good someone noticed this.
So you claim
The joke about Comedy Central was a perfect riff off of Dave’s joke: “the only difference between having 10 million dollars and 50 million dollars... is an astounding 40 million dollars.”
John and Dave WERE Comedy Central, back in the day.
Don't forget South Park
Matt and Trey put CC on the map. Then Jon and Dave help rounded out the network.
@@sstar202 and without them CC is but a shadow of it's past, taken over by parasites, gnats and nasty ideologues trying to catch a ride on the shambling undead corpse, hoping to spread their disease though the then popular, now rotten zombie once known as Comedy Central. RIP.
@@sstar202 Ha, I just replied almost the exact same thing in another thread.
Damn right, they were.
This joke felt EXACTLY like a "dave chappelle" joke .....wow.....
Yep. Dave’s jokes always have twist at the end:)
@smoothcollected which one? link....
Yup that joke felt like the crackheads broke into Dave’s kitchen got shot by shotgun then asked Dave why he had his 🍆 out 😂
@PMC05 Dick out **
The 50mil thing? It absolutely did... good call
I raised that money (50million) like it was my own. 🤣
It's like a son to me man.
We had good days, and fantastic day ✌
@@AH-yu2pi He is thanking Dave for the big contract he received after Dave left. This joke is both heartwarming and hilarious 👑
@@rukawa23gold I understood that. My quote is from a clip that I find funny and was meant as a play on your comment. It's often played on Your Moms House podcast.
Hilarious.
"these mfs didn't even give us snacks"
yes very chappellion
@Circumcision is Jewish Genital Mutilation You're a moron lol
Circumcision is Jewish Genital Mutilation Do you have to bring in religion! Most of us got through circumcision at 8 days old and never felt nor remembered!
If you have any beef with him fair enough but don’t attack his beliefs!
Lol
Man ..I appreciate how mfs giving Dave his roses while he still with us.
The Good Villain That is a beautiful & so true.
Amen!!
Broken english
Facts!
True shit bro!
Dave Chappelle is a national treasure
Sam. PDI -> International*
Sam. PDI protect him at all cost
LEGEND, ICON, GOAT right?
Worldwide
Sam. PDI cn we like the art without worshipping the vessel?
These two were the peak of Comedy Central, sad when each left.
Don't forget South Park
And The Colbert Report too:D
Maheep Sangari I think he meant as individuals
@@t-god2439 yeah South Park creators are individuals too. That show started on a very low budget with just two people don't most of the voices
@@maheepsangari South Park put CC on the map, but Dave and Jon (and Steve) really rounded out the network.
Mannn, this joke was delivered flawlessly. Jeez. Miss you, Jon.
salmadefood rest in peace
Brian Baren Jon not dead
RIP Jon
He's not dead, but he is a Libtard
Chip Osgood - He’s no further left than Dave. The comics just seem left of centre because of how far the insane right have gone!
That single joke was setup perfectly
@C. Daniel Thomas even better. Jon's his mentor
The only bad thing about this video is how short it was.
agreed
Comedy gold like that is always in short supply, that's why it is so valuable :)
Midsentence too!

And how bad Jon Stewart looks. Yikes! Still funny as hell.
Everybody saying how talented Dave is; all the while his Mom is sitting there nodding her head saying”see I told ya, everybody, my boys special”... and he is.
This should be the top comment.
Well said. 👍✌️
His mom is a real gangster. Massive respect for that lady.
Yea, but Dave really is the GOAT.
Dave really looks like his mother. And his daughter really looks like him O.o
Jon Stewart is brilliant.
@Star Trek Theory is he?
@Star Trek Theory he's still smarter than you
Star Trek Theory • Umm... He’s DEFINITELY smarter than you, Cletus. Not even remotely debatable. 🙄
Star Trek Theory the fact your comeback to get back at him involved an emoji proves him right 🤦🏽♂️
Star Trek Theory
Yeah.
No one deserves something like that more than Dave Chappelle
Jon Stewart himself is a hero especially to 9-11 firefighters whose healthcare was about to be stopped by Mitch McConnell
@@cesarebachelli 🇺🇸 Absolutely! 💕
The late great George Carlin too who, with his legendary "Seven Dirty Words You Can Never Say On Television", went to jail for that and later had his routine to went all the way to the Supreme Court... and paved the way for today's stand up comedians like Dave and Jon to fearlessly gab and smack dab about bullshit that they see and hear. Deserving Legend.
Easily one of the best executed jokes, ever.
.....lmao....
The delivery is soo good I kept replaying it, legend seriously
IdeaBox
Same here.
What delivery was that? Sorry I missed the point everyone’s talking about can someone explain it
@ideabox not the only one.
Me too lmao
This was given to him after the "Sticks and Stones" stand-up. That shows the power and respect he has in the industry.
isn't that the stand up special where all the critics gave it nothing but negative reviews?
It was not funny.
The Chappelle Show, now THAT was funny.
Arash Akbar it was mostly boomer humor which is why most of it fell flat. Jussie Smollett segment was great tho.
Psssh. Sticks and Stones was a masterpiece. Unapologetically hilarious in a time when people aren't allowed to be fearlessly funny. I loved it.
Dave Chappelle Show was godawful. Cheap laughs, stupid humour. I didn't become a DC fan until I saw Killing Them Softly, which is up there with Delirious, imo. Chappelle's stand-ups are where he is in his prime.
Flawless execution of that joke, John. I did not see it coming lol.
Comedy Central has 50 Million Dollars? We couldn't even get snacks! :D
Jüri Kirpu 😂
classic line
Mother tucker how DARE you paraphrase!
I need to see this whole thing
@Teh Jamez doesn't air or stream outside the US/Canada
VPN
@Teh Jamez Thanks! I'm def gonna watch that.
Old Bull Lee COMING SOON
Same
The punchline about raising the 50 million dollars as if it was his own, had Dave written all over it.
it almost sounded like he used dave's voice
Stewart giving tribute by channeling some dave chappelle of his own.
All in all masterclass.
This is beyond legendary.
Aye rudeboy love the music by the way
Lol
I love how in the comments everyone realized that was a Chappelle style joke....his style is so unmistakable that even if it comes out of another voice, it has its watermark. Thank you to everyone in the comments that recognize the artistry. Jon did the ultimate tribute with a flawless execution...that was amazing....
Dave and Jon must be protected at all costs
There's something so comforting about seeing Jon Stewart in a suit again. Come back, Jon.
*This is HOW you treat a Legend. Love them while they're still alive with us.*
I applaud Jon for his selflessness, not many people are like that, but we are alike, because I would have also raised that money like it was my own
What a caring father.
Would rolling around naked in that money make me a bad father?
This is what life should be people celebrating you when you're above ground.
Chappelle is a true American cultural icon. He is a humble genius whose comedy appeals to all who listen. The Mark Twain recognition is well deserved.
“Comedy Central has 50 million dollars?!” Epic 😂🤣😂🤣
And it was that moment that I remember thinking "Comedy Central has $50m" 🤣🤣
Jon murdered this joke. The setup was epic, the payoff was unreal. Dave stood up because he was LAUGHING. Legends the both of them. Comedy geniuses.
I think he nailed why Dave can say the outrageous things he does. There isn't a trace of malice in anything he does.
God I hope that's true because it bodes well for the future of our species.
That joke just hit me like a punch in the gut. I did not see that coming. Was expecting something endearing. lol!
When a man is reflecting, praising and doing comedy on his hands and knees for them for all to see, that's love and respect.
Please my people save this joke in “watch later”. That was history!
So much respect for both of these men
That money was going to need a home 😂😂😂
Comedy Central giants! And both are as humble as can be. Couldn't agree more with this award.
The set up of that joke by Jon Stewart was a thing of absolute beauty. When that punchline hit, it knocked Dave right out of his chair!
1:31 that stole my like. Reminded me of Chris Tucker's quote: "50 million dollars?!"
Exactly what i thought of to lol.
Who u think u got, Chelsea Clinton???
Ignacio Cortorreal that’s a #Tb
"Oh, you want 20 million in 20s. 20 million in tens. You want any fives with that?"
Wasn't expecting that! I miss Jon. And Dave is a genius, period.
Did Stewart die?
@@chicoandthem4n Yep.
@Eric Larsen I disagree, but that's okay. To each their own.
@Eric Larsen Well, you seem to think posting this comment every fuckin where makes you sound intelligent... so...
DC's a touchstone - seeker of knowledge. No lie there!!!
That 50 million dollar joke was insanely funny! !!. Love the build up to it Jon and well delivered 😂😂😂😂
"I knew that money was going to need a home" 😂😂😹😹😹
