Ellen DeGeneres took the stage at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts and shared the evening with her friends and colleagues as she was honored for being funny. The comedian and talk show host was the 15th recipient of the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor on Monday night. Honoring the Hollywood-based comedian for her efforts in the field of comedy, the entertainer was recognized for her funny bone.
Stars from all walks of life came to honor the comedian with plenty of comedians. Jimmy Kimmel, Jane Lynch, and even Steve Harvey said kind words about the entertainer. When DeGeneres picked up her award, she joked that the reason she took interest in comedy wasn't for awards, but for the money. Of course, the entertainer was kidding, but the crowd already knew her heart was in the right place as she has made millions of fans laugh and giggle without money or fame.
Ellen DeGeneres is known for her kind heart, funny dances, and plenty of jokes. The entertainer is never at a loss for humor, even when the going got tough. Today, with a leading daytime talk show, her influence in American culture is stronger than ever.
The Mark Twain Prize for American Humor ceremony will be broadcast on PBS. The episode is slated for October 30, 2012.
