Bill Maher to Receive Mark Twain Prize From Kennedy Center After White House Calls Report 'Fake News'

Comedian and talk show host Bill Maher is set to receive the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor from the Kennedy Center.

Roma Daravi, vice president of public relations at the Kennedy Center, said in a statement: “For nearly three decades, the Mark Twain Prize has celebrated some of the greatest minds in comedy. For even longer, Bill has been influencing American discourse – one politically incorrect joke at a time.”

If you don’t recall, Bill‘s prize was rumored a few days ago, and the White House actually said it was false.
