Hart’s films have grossed more than 4.23 billion dollars (£3.35 billion) globally.
Kevin Hart received the Mark Twain Prize for American Humour on Sunday in a gala performance at the Kennedy Centre for the Performing Arts.
Celebrities and prominent comedians joined in the tribute to Hart, with several specifically citing his work ethic, positivity and relentless dedication to his art.“He’s one of the most naturally talented people I’ve met. But he also loves himself, which is not something you can say about every successful comic.”Comedic actor JB Smoove recalls a young up-and-coming Hart as almost problematically eager.
Honourees receive a bronze bust of Twain, the iconic American writer and satirist whose real name was Samuel Clemens. Other comedians who have received the lifetime achievement award include inaugural recipient Richard Pryor, George Carlin, Whoopi Goldberg, Bob Newhart, Carol Burnett and Dave Chapelle.Readers’ comments: You are personally liable for the content of any comments you upload to this website, so please act responsibly.
