Carol Burnett awarded Mark Twain Prize for American Humor - latimes.com
The Mark Twain Prize caps a career of prizes for Burnett. "The Carol Burnett Show" won 25 Emmys, and Burnett has received a Peabody Award, a number of Golden Globes and, in 2005, the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
When Burnett finally took to the stage she had to calm the crowd, which gave her a prolonged standing ovation. When she spoke, she made it clear that her sense of humor had not dimmed with age.
This is very encouraging, she said. It was a long time in coming, but I understand because there are so many people funnier than I am, especially here in Washington.
