The Prize was awarded at a gala performance featuring some of the biggest names in comedy at the Kennedy Center on April 24, 2022.
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.

Thank you John Steward for fighting for our Vets, People, the Burn pits are real. My son Shane who is 32 had colon cancer from the pits. He is now stage 4 lung and liver cancer. John has brought this to the attention of Congress. Please keep the fight up. Thank you
I am sorry Shane (and all who love him) are going through this. My partner was a Vietnam Veteran. We had a couple of friends who were also veterans that had to fight to get Agent Orange conditions acknowledged. It is so wrong that the lessons weren't learned; and that veterans still have to "fight" for the care they deserve. Yes, it is so important that Jon Stewart continues this fight. My heart is with Shane and your family.
@@lucillesanders3865 I'm sorry for you and for your partner, and I thank them for their service.
My father fought on the front lines of Korea and was exposed to Napalm and other chemicals, only to find out 40 years later. He died of a rare lung cancer.
There were no advocates for vets of Vietnam and Korea.
Well said, and I am so grateful and eternally in awe of the selfless work people did there.
Jon Stewart uses his talent for the good of people - and keeps providing a platform for them to speak to injustice.
I'm so sorry for the heartache and pain your son, you, and all his loved ones have been dealt. May his Dhane's essness and passion be of solace.
@@genghis_connie Thank you for your kind words. My heart goes out to you for losing your father to lung cancer. We hold them near in our loving memories. 💜
@@lucillesanders3865 Thank you so much.
What a great friend! These guys are amazing in so many ways 🥰👏👏
There's no way to better get a compliment, than someone who has been so successful because you have been so awesome. Thanks, John, from general America mediocre people. ❤ had to scroll down for this you're welcome
he is great and he gave me interested in american politics ... what a fuking mess 😳
respect to john and all good americans from denmark🇩🇰
His tribute was so damn funny
I am so happy that I still see some Michael Scott.
Thank you Mr Stewart for your forbearance. We needed that.♥
Just loving this! 🤣😂❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤🤍♥️
So deserving of this award and much more. He has done so much for this country and for the world in a selfless fashion and fought for the right reasons. Idiots and people that are jealous of his achievements are losers that have accomplished nothing in their life and hide behind a computer screen to say dumb shit!!!
0:17 That's what she said!
John Steward is a national treasure. What am I saying?! An international treasure.
And the meek shall inherit the Earth. ~ RUSH. I live in Missouri and I am very very very well read in most of the works words and wisdoms of Sam, and I think Sam would love and admire Jon as I do.
rush? you do realize that's a bible quote, yes? (matthew 5:5.) peart was quoting the bible. you knew that, right?
@@peterg5383 I went to church every single day of the Week at St. Catherines for 16 years, and I have read the Bible 7 times cover to cover, so yes I do know this quote quite well. Also I live my life meekly as possible. Also I know Mark Twain quite well and I love and admire Jon Stewart. What is your point?
I liked the Parables the best.
@@timswartz4520: my point is that it's incorrect to attribute the quotation to rush. sorry that was so difficult to grasp.
@@peterg5383 Maybe these words were divinely inspired with no real origin. I know before the Bible was written these words were said. Also RUSH RULES.
Those punch in edits are aggressive.
From everything I have head about Jon, this is accurate. He absolutely hates praise. So the fact that he had to endure this is so amusing.
Jon Stewart is legend.
I know the office jokes are old, but I can only hear this in a jealous “it should be me up there” Michael Scott way
Yep, tho not a hint of that endearing yet clueless, egocentric persona in this interview.
This obviously begs the question "What is it John Stewart has on Steve Carell for him to wax so poetically?"
*Jon. 😜
mutual respect
*raises the question

"Its like going to a wedding but its just for you" so its like being the woman at her wedding.
Did the editor of this piece get paid by the cut?
Carell is likable out of character. Blonde suits him.
*JOHN STEWART 2o24!*
Isn't it bestowed upon the comic and not won?
he is looking more and more like toby
Who believes celebrity flattery & fawning anymore?
Conan should have been given this award a long time ago
Dude's not really an introvert. All those attention, I'm probably gonna evaporate from that
Wait. Stewart "WON" the prize? Was it a contest? Did he have to draw a cartoon bear? Wrestle other pop-culturally significant creative-types like David Sedaris or Joe Rogan? I thought it's AWARDED TO someone, but if you have to WIN it, I'd like to enter the contest next year. I'm real good at them speed-eating contests! (1,000 hot dogs JUST while typing this!)
I watched 2 of these, and I’m tired of dumb jokes and slathering praise
ok, probably something you will never have to worry about
Then stop and save your whining ...
