ps:
check out the list of past winners and drop a few names of very funny

www.kennedy-center.org/programs/specialevents/marktwain/#past
for starters I will name a few fairly obvious choices:
Woody Allen, Mel Brooks, and Jerry Seinfeld
and of course there's our old buddy Hal Holbrook, but don't get me started .
