Bill Maher to receive Mark Twain Prize at Kennedy Center after White House denied reports
TV host Bill Maher will receive the prestigious Mark Twain Prize for American Humor, the Kennedy Center announced on Thursday — just days after the White House denied that the comedian would be awarded the honor.
The annual award, which is given by the Kennedy Center, will be presented to Maher on June 28, right before the performing arts center closes for a two-year renovation. The center has faced slumping sales and cancellations from performers in response to President Donald Trump’s overhaul of the institution, which has included a controversial name change.
“Thank you to the Mark Twain people: I just had the award explained to me, and apparently it’s like an Emmy, except I win,†Maher quipped in a statement. “I’d just like to say that it is indeed humbling to get anything named for a man who’s been thrown out of as many school libraries as Mark Twain.â€

White House Insists It Was Right ‘At the Time’ After Being Wrong About Maher Prize
President Donald Trump’s White House insisted it was right “at the time” on Thursday after being found to be wrong about the news that late-night host Bill Maher would receive an award at the Kennedy Center.
While the White House repeatedly denied a report last week that Maher – a prominent critic of Trump – would be receiving the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor at the Kennedy Center this year, the news was confirmed in another report on Thursday.
Reacting to the news in a statement, a White House official insisted, “This was false reporting at the time of the Atlantic’s reporting, but the situation changed after further conversations took place between the Trump-Kennedy Center and event organizers over the past week.”
