  • 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."
    For more information on the Mark Twain Prize, please visit: www.kennedy-center.org/pages/...
    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Michaels (2004), Steve Martin (2005), Neil Simon (2006), Billy Crystal (2007), George Carlin (2008), Bill Cosby (2009, rescinded in 2018) Tina Fey (2010), Will Ferrell (2011), Ellen DeGeneres (2012), Carol Burnett (2013) Jay Leno (2014), Eddie Murphy (2015), Bill Murray (2016), David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).

When Donkey came on screen, he whispered "its daddy.. baby, its daddy" she looked at the screen and then back at him with a funny face "no, thats donkey"

    Cosby hated him for one reason and one reason only. He was a threat. This man single handedly saved SNL from extinction and then performed on the Tonight Show.....all by the age of 19. Bill's ego just couldn't handle it.

    • @littleripper312

      Yea, Cosby hated him because he thought that what Eddie did directly competed and at the same time reflected on him because they are both black. I get that it was different times but I don't think the general public related the two of them as much as Cosby thought they did.

      Agreed and Cosby was really focused and changing the perception of black people and felt with profanity, violence, etc...especially with Eddie's talent level that his rise would negate that effort. He was wrong but perception is reality if you believe it right or wrong it becomes your reality.

    Richard Pryor had me laughing so hard once, I actually passed out for a minute. I couldn't even breath. George Carlin's 7 dirty words lives on in comedy infamy. Eddie learned from the best. Bill Cosby was always on TV talking shit about Pryor and Murphy because they used profanity and all kinds of racial slurs. But they picked on *everyone*. Aint nobody that was safe. And you know what? we had a lot more harmony back then. They used to call Bill Cosby "America's dad". back then! "he would say shit like "If you can't do comedy without using profanity and using racial slurs then you don't have any talent". Look where he is now!!!!!!!!!!

    The big rave over the last seven years has been K Hart. Then the reemergence of Chapelle, which has been great. But before them, there was Eddie Murphy, the funniest m-fer of a generation. Definitely on the Mount Rushmore of comics

    Richard Pryor put on so many up and comers including the genius, Eddie Murphy. Murphy put on an entire generation of comedians and is still making work for other creatives in the industry. Dave Chappelle has now taken up the mantel of comedic brilliance, mentoring today's generation of comedians and artists. So wonder to see the sheer emotional intelligence it takes to read the room, the zeitgeist, the streets, and make such comedy seem so effortless that the entire world laughs.

    Like so many others, I also grew up watching Delirious and RAW and they more than hold up today!! Eddie has always been one of my favorite Comedians and actors and he more than deserved this award.
    This was so damn funny and what I find equally hilarious is he gave zero F!&$! If he offended anyone or not! This woke and cancel culture bs couldn’t silence or Cancel Eddie if they tried. The man is a legend and in my view untouchable when it comes to being censored etc💯

    Just so you guys know... Comedians rarely get an academy award. In an oscar event, a loooot of people get an award. In a Mark Twain Prize event, only one human being gets it. That's how special a Mark Twain Prize awardee is.

    I wish he would do another stand up special. I still watch delirious all the time. Raw was good. But I grew up on delirious

      I’ll bet it’s because they feel weird about it, like trying to tell a black person what’s wrong with the word.
