Bill Murray accepting the Mark Twain Prize

Celebrate beloved actor and comedian Bill Murray, the 19th recipient of The Kennedy Center Mark Twain Prize for American Humor. From the stage of The John F. Kennedy Center, a star-studded lineup saluted the achievements of the comedic trailblazer.

Friends and peers like David Letterman, Steve Martin, Jimmy Kimmel, Miley Cyrus, Aziz Ansari and Ghostbusters co-star Sigourney Weaver payed tribute to the actor.

"It's nice to be here and, as much as I dreaded this, I really had to come back to this idea that there is love, and that's ultimately what we came with and what we go with," Murray told the Kennedy Center audience. "I love you and I love you. Let's try to repeat that to each other, okay?"
