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.”

Adam is one of those rare ones that didn't get fucked up by the industry and actually made everything go right with hard work and good values. The man deserves his fame and awards for his service as an amazing actor and comedian. He is a great role model for future generations.

I don’t think I’ve heard a speech in at least 30 years in which I truly believe this person loves their wife and kids and siblings and friends. Beautiful. Give him as many awards as you want. I’ll show up to listen. ☺️

His speech shows just how important it is to have a present Mother and Father, in your kids lives. Take note.

He was so informative of how he made it to this night. He was so generous with his friends and colleagues that helped him along the way. He was so loving with his family. I enjoyed his speech.

Adam Sandler definitely deserves this. The dude been making us laugh for decades

The man literally embodies the phrase “never forget where you came from”

"You can tell a lot about a man by the company he keeps" The love and respect that they have for each other and for Adam is yanking tears out of my eyes. Adams movies and everyone in his films helped raise me, showed me you could be a funny person without cussing, and to always no matter what, look out and love your friends. Thank you Adam.

What a super way to honor all of his friends and family. So selfless. He deserves all of the success he's achieved.

I loved it when he said, "you guys are my real friends" i really felt his emotion

Love this guy. This is why my wife and I chose "grow old with you" as our wedding song and named our cat "sandler." He's really the best

Adam is a class act.. once in a lifetime kind of guy. He gets it. His love and appreciation for his success and those who helped him get there is what makes him so endearing. He is so easy to route for.

I've never been able to sit thru an acceptance speech, yet alone more than 11 minutes of it, and was able to give my full attention from the beginning to the end. That's how impactful Adam is.
-
The silent moment between Spade and Sandler spoke a million volumes. Hearing Schneider sing a reprise of Grow Old with you was tear worthy. Adam Sandler is one hell of a good guy, and everyone there knows it. Well deserved 👏

Adam Sandler is a freakin legend. Unbelievably funny, super successful but seems like a humble family guy. What an awesome dude.
