Comedian and host Conan O'Brien was named the newest recipient of the Mark Twain Prize for lifetime achievement in comedy on Thursday.
Conan O'Brien arrives at a photo call for"Conan O'Brien Must Go", April 16, 2024, at Avalon Hollywood in Los Angeles.
His travel series “Conan O’Brien Must Go” sparked popular and critical acclaim, with a second season coming. In March, O’Brien will host the Academy Awards three weeks before his own Mark Twain ceremony in Washington. Mark Twain recipients are honored with a night of testimonials and video tributes, often featuring previous award winners. The ceremony will stream on Netflix at a later date yet to be announced.
In 2009, O’Brien’s career and persona took a turn. He became the man who publicly gained and lost his dream job while America watched. In an emotional goodbye on his final “Tonight Show,” O’Brien described himself as lucky and refused to sound bitter.
