As the comedian received the Mark Twain Prize in Washington D.C., guests honored the stand-up 'rock star'
As the comedian received the Mark Twain Prize in Washington D.C., guests Neal Brennan, Bradley Cooper, John Legend, Lorne Michaels and Q-Tip, among others, honored the stand-up"rock star." at a game five of the World Series at the Nationals stadium across town, the mood in the Kennedy Center was joyous during the 22nd annual Mark Twain Prize celebrating Dave Chappelle on Sunday night.
Friend and collaborator Common spoke candidly and warmly about the man of the hour. “Dave Chapelle is one of the most brilliant voices and minds that we have in this day and time,” he told. “He’s been a beacon for a lot of different progressive thought, different ways for us to look at things. He’s always bringing people together," he added.
“Dave brings people together in a way that maybe no one else can,” said Tiffany Haddish, taking the stage wearing one of Chappelle’s signature jumpsuits to talk about how Chappelle helped mentor her when she was living out of her car and trying to get started in her career. In her tribute, Sarah Silverman pointed out to Chappelle that “it’s actually perfect that you’re getting the Mark Twain Prize, because you both love using the n-word in your masterpieces,” to much laughter. On a more sincere note about her love for Chappelle, she added, “Critical thinking is his art. His standup blows my mind; it changes the way I think. And sometimes I wholeheartedly disagree with him, but that’s what I love about Dave and what I love about art.
