After his 33-year reign on late-night TV, David Lettermen is set to receive the prestigious Mark Twain Prize for Humor. [At David Letterman’s Mark Twain ceremony, comedians decide: To Trump or not to Trump]Norm Macdonald, who performed the final stand-up act on Letterman’s “Late Show” in 2015, arrived to tell the crowd that the Twain Prize was actually still to be determined by their vote. “And no, David Letterman does not stand 7 foot and six, but the point is, he doesn’t have to,” Macdonald said. “That’s Mark Twain rolling over in his grave,” Henderson said. “Patriotism is supporting your country all the time, and your government when it deserves it.”The Mark Twain Prize ceremony will air Nov. 20 on PBS.
