The pair also applauded comedian Jon Stewart, who received the Mark Twain Prize for Lifetime Achievement in Humor.
Upon learning he was receiving the award, the 59-year-old former The Daily Show host posted on Instagram that he felt “truly honored.”
The national award is named after writer and essayist Samuel Langhorne Clemens, known by his pen name Mark Twain and revered for his novels starring Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn.

Richard Pryor was the first recipient of the award, while controversial comedian Dave Chappelle became the youngest person to receive it in 2019.
Chappelle has since come under fire for long stretches of his recent standup comedy specials, which many fans felt were transphobic.
2009 honoree Bill Cosby was stripped of his honor in 2018 after being convicted of three counts of aggravated indecent assault. The legendary comedian’s conviction was overturned by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court in June 2021.
In 2021, six years after quitting his satirical news series The Daily Show, Stewart returned to television with a new venture that takes an in-depth look at current affairs, The Problem With Jon Stewart, which premiered on the Apple streaming platform in late September TV+ has started.
