24th Annual Mark Twain Prize For American Humor at The Kennedy Center on March 19, 2023 in Washington, DC

Ben Stiller attended The 24th Annual Mark Twain Prize For American Humor at The Kennedy Center on March 19, 2023 in Washington, DC.

This year, The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts presented The Mark Twain Prize for American Humor to Adam Sandler.

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 Ben Stiller, Chris Rock, Conan O'Brien, Dana Carvey, Pete Davidson, Drew Barrymore, Jennifer Anniston, Idina Menzel, David Spade, and more -- at the Kennedy Center Concert Hall in Washington, DC, on Sunday night, 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.

During an awards ceremony Ben Stiller asked from the stage at Washington, DC’s Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts how Sandler’s novelty song, first heard on “Saturday Night Live” in 1994, became a seasonal standard.
   
“It’s really just a list of rhyming celebrity names, and yet it goes multiplatinum and it’s become a holiday radio staple that my daughter forces us all to listen to after we light the candles every year,” said Ben Stiller.

During his speech he offered his own High Holiday alternative to Adam Sandler’s “Chanukah Song”.

He then went ahead and sang its “killer opening line,” which included a reference to a notorious scene in 1998 film “There’s Something About Mary”: “It’s time to atone / So let’s get in the zone. / Got my d–k caught in my zipper / and now it is Yom Kippur.”
