Bill Maher just received the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor, a top award given out each year by the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing. Arts. It's a big deal that honors top comedians for their wit and impact on American culture. In his statement, Maher thanked the Kennedy Center and joked that someone finally explained the prize to him, comparing it to an Emmy, he actually wins. He also noted how humbling it feels to share a name with Mark Twain, known for getting banned from plenty of school libraries. Earlier, White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt shot down reports of the award, labeling them fake news. That denial came amid ongoing tensions between Maher and President Donald Trump. Just weeks ago, during his new rules segment on his show, Maher fired back at Trump's truth social posts. Trump had accused him of Trump's arrangement syndrome and gripped about their past dinner.
