"For nearly three decades, the Mark Twain Prize has celebrated some of the greatest minds in comedy. For even longer, Bill has been influencing American discourse one politically incorrect joke at a time."
"Trump said, 'when oil prices go up, we make a lot of money.' Um, who's 'we?,' Maher said in a recent monologue."
"It is indeed humbling to get anything named for a man who's been thrown out of as many school libraries as Mark Twain."
Bill Maher has been confirmed as the recipient of the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor by the Kennedy Center. This announcement follows earlier confusion and claims of 'fake news' regarding his award. Maher has influenced American discourse through his politically incorrect humor for nearly three decades. He has been critical of both political parties, particularly targeting President Trump. Maher expressed humility in receiving the award named after Mark Twain, acknowledging Twain's controversial reputation. The award ceremony is scheduled for June 28 and will later stream on Netflix.
