Comedian and host Conan O'Brien has been named the newest recipient of the Mark Twain Prize for lifetime achievement in comedy. O'Brien, known for his decades-long career in comedy, survived a public failure on "The Tonight Show" to launch a successful next act. He will be honored in a special ceremony on March 23 in Washington, where he will receive a bronze bust of Mark Twain. The ceremony will stream on Netflix at a later date, featuring testimonials and video tributes from previous award winners. O'Brien's career has included hosting "Late Night" for 16 years and overcoming setbacks to continue his comedic journey.
