The Kennedy Center celebration brought out some big stars.

Emmy and Grammy Award-nominated actor and comedian Kevin Hart was honored with the 25th Mark Twain Prize for American Humor on Sunday night.

The prize was presented during a gala performance inside the Kennedy Center’s Concert Hall attended by some of the biggest names in comedy, including Jerry Seinfeld, Dave Chappelle, Chris Rock, Tiffany Haddish, Nick Cannon, and Chelsea Handler.

“Comedy is my outlet for social commentary and observations on life,” said Hart. “I am grateful to the Kennedy Center for recognizing my voice and impact on culture.”

The Mark Twain Prize “recognizes individuals who have had an impact on American society in ways similar to the distinguished 19th-century novelist and essayist Samuel Clemens, colloquially known as Mark Twain.” The performance will premiere on Netflix on Saturday, May 11.
