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.”

The tribute to Adam Sandler's 'Opera Man' is just bonkers...
OMG IDINA killed this, and props to the writer, this was absolute comedic genius.
Robert Smigel himself probably wrote it, or at least it wouldn’t surprise me much if he did. I’m pretty sure he came back to write it when Adam hosted SNL.
@@SuperJNG18 Smigel is a genius
chatGPT was probably leveraged to write this :)
dEFINITELY bEST OF sHOW!
Brilliant 😂
Travolta is at home like “this adele dazeem sure can sing” 🤣🙏🏼
Underrated comment. 👍
Well she is the wickedly talented and the one and only...
Omg 😂😂😂
One of the best tributes and riffs ever done for a comedian.
Who knew that Idina Menzel's bit would be the best of the night?
i agree this was very entraining and you can tell everyone has genuine love for the guy
Don't know why but when she says "the Spade, the Schneider, and the Buscemi" with the shot of those three legends, it sounds and looks epic
Two legends and Rob Schneider.
Idina's performance is absolutely hilarious. Love the pianist and the backup singers too.
What is that last song called?
@@jenniferjones5193 That was Funiculi Funicula'...a 19th-century ditty written to celebrate the first funicular (cable railway) on Mount Vesuvius. True story!!
@@bradyguy7701 thank you so much! I had figured it out but I do appreciate the answer!!
This is legendary! When she said “you make me proud to be a Jew” I got pumped up! I’m not even Jewish!
Whaahaha same!!
😂😂😂😂😂 This is perfect ❤
Me too!
Well, you can be Jew ish...
@@petikan yes! In my heart
I have to say this beats all the other Mark Twain Prize shows in the past. The guys that paid tributes to Adam what they all said truly come from their hearts. What more can someone ask for? True friends and a wonderful career.
The only thing missing was Norm Macdonald's speech, but for some reason it's very hard to book him.
And Chris Farley.😢
The writing for this song is awesome, and Idina with her voice and timing was incredible!
Thank you to the casting directors of _Uncut Gems_ without whose casting of Idina in that movie would not have culminated in this masterpiece. Grazie, grazie!
Yup. That's a Broadway star right there.
This needs more views. The pianist. Epic. All of it.
Who are you to say what piano videos need more views.
@@itsmefrisco I am me, and I think the clip needs more views. Sounds like you disagree. But do carry on, by all means. Honestly, people should only post things that you approve. Tyranny for CZcams! Heil Francisco!
@@ellierose6 s/he/it probably upvoted its own video. Love your answer.
@@itsmefrisco It's called an opinion.
@@itsmefrisco Who isn't he to say it? And who are you to ask? Oh, it's you Frisco! The arbiter of CZcams comments. My bad.
Man, she is amazing. That was wonderful, and hilarious.
I still can't believe how they get Idina Menzel to sing this score, so hilarious and what a lovely voice! ❤️❤️🤣🤣
He's worth about 400 mil. I'm sure they'll find a way lol. Great performance though
And they worked together in Uncut Gems which, by Hollywood Law, means she now is friends for life with him.
I would be floored with a wave from Idina. A tribute like this to anyone is priceless.
AMAZING TRIBUTE..... killer timing ... EVERYONE was hanging by a single thread waiting for the next verse... way to go.
1:41 Jennifer and Drew disagrees HAHAHAHHA look at their smiles! LMAO
I saw that also. Lol.
the level of talent involved in this. damn!!!
all the fun they make of sneider is what made this that much funnier
Severely underrated bit, this was pure gold😂
I would have stood for this. Phenomenal
My thoughts exactly!!
But you didn't kneel for blacks? Racist
Yes but that wouldn’t be appropriate seeing as it’s a tribute to an actual person being honored!
This raises the Mark Twain celebration bar-a.
A toast to you, Adam. 🍾
Thanks for the many laughs. ❤️
She killed!!!
Keeping Spade employed got me good!!!😂
My love for Idina Menzel has grown even larger, if that's possible! Bravo!!
Idina, you are FANTASTIC! 😍
Also, COCO IS ALIIIIIIIIIIVE! 🥰
Talent overflowing with Idina ❤️
Oh my god that was Brilliant……….👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🍾♥️
They threw the Roses! I love watching the Mark Twain awards every year, everyone brings out the best to honor their friends.
The awards feel like the last great thing from Hollywood.
This is going down in history as one of the best tribute songs. I rarely laugh out loud and boy is this funny.
Why didn't anyone through roses for Idina she deserves it she was both talented and funny give Idina her flowers
Watching the opera man character in the early 90s....I never saw this tribute coming.
haha, Idina was fantastic! She needs to do more comedy. Gorgeous and hilarious, in addition to a powerful singer. She's actually kinda better doing rock & operatic-type stuff than the belting people expect from her.
I NEED BEHIND THE SCENES SOOO BAD
It was fun and epic :) Wish they would release them. Some very funny mistakes were made while rehearsing lol
Idina Menzel, speaking in an Italian tounge. She speaks to me. 😍😇

Slay Idina!!!! So funny!!
Everyone really is going in on rob
Hell yeah!! Adam so deserves this!!
Idina knocked it out of the park. What a tribute! And she played a powerful role in "Uncut gems".
That was better than I thought it would be.
We all love Adam. Such a talented and normal guy.
I don't know why this doesn't have more views. Idina was hilarious!
Its like fine wine, not everyone can appreciate it.
Amazing! She played his wife in uncut jewels
You mean Unedited Gems
