The show honored comedian Jon Stewart who was being awarded with the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor which was presented at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington D.C. Stewart is a comedian, talk show host and political commentator who started his career as a standup in New York City before gaining fame for hosting the Comedy Central satirical news program The Daily Show from 1999 to 2015. He is also known as a champion and activist for the 9/11 First Responders. Those who helped celebrate his accomplishments included former Daily Show alumni Steve Carell, John Oliver, Stephen Colbert, Ed Helms, Olivia Munn, and Samantha Bee as well as comedians Dave Chappelle, Bassem Youssef, Pete Davidson, and Jimmy Kimmel and historian Jon Meacham.
