The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts announced Tuesday that Adam Sandler will receive the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor at a gala on March 19.
"While Daddy is with you tonight, we're doing everything we're not allowed to do when Daddy is home, like eat his Yodels, try on his Spanx or – dare we say – laugh out loud at Ben Stiller movies," Sandler said.
Over the years, the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor has gone to such luminaries as Richard Pryor, Carl Reiner, Whoopi Goldberg, Billy Crystal, George Carlin and Ellen DeGeneres. "There’s a lot of talk about what’s going to happen to comedy – you know, 'the Slap' – and will comedy survive in this new moment? Comedy survives in every moment," Stewart said during his speech, referencing the Chris Rock/Will Smith brouhaha.
