STORYLINE:
Comedian and host Conan O’Brien is the newest recipient of the Mark Twain Prize for lifetime achievement in comedy.
The 61-year-old named Thursday has carved out an improbable decadeslong career arc from goofy television interloper to comedic elder statesman.
Along the way O’Brien survived one of the most public failures in the history of television on “The Tonight Show,” only to launch a sustained next act.
O’Brien will be honored March 23 in a special ceremony in Washington at which he’ll receive a bronze bust of Twain.
Recipients are honored with a night of testimonials and video tributes, often featuring previous award winners. The ceremony will stream on Netflix.
