Dave Chappelle, Jerry Seinfeld, Chris Rock Pay Tribute to Kevin Hart at Mark Twain Prize Ceremony


Dave Chappelle, Chris Rock, Jerry Seinfeld and others paid tribute to Kevin Hart on Sunday as he received the Mark Twain Prize from the Kennedy Center.

Previous Twain honorees Dave Chappelle and Jerry Seinfeld were among those who were on hand to salute the multifaceted entertainer whose standup comedic talents are matched by his prowess as film actor, producer, restauranteur and beverage magnate. Others on hand included rapper/comedian/actor Dave Hurd (aka Lil Dicky), comedian/actress Tiffany Haddish, rapper Nelly, the Plastic Cup Boyz (Hart’s sidekicks), comedian Keith Robinson and “Curb Your Enthusiasm” star J.B. Smoove. In his lengthy remarks upon acceptance of the award, Hart issued heartfelt thanks to the participating artists, prominent members of his far-flung organization, and other chums who were not part of the evening’s bill.
