When he presented the Mark Twain Award to Conan O'Brien at the end of a party at the Kennedy Center this evening, David Litrman told the public: “I am not a historian, but I think history will appear, in history all the time, this will be the most entertaining gathering of resistance, at all.”
Litrman was talking to what was resistance, given that Donald Trump was how he controlled the Kennedy Center, after the president's overthrow and members of the launch council to ensure loyalty and ensure that he is himself the president of the Arts Foundation.
Throughout the evening, the comedians threw a joke in the situation in their comic roasting and a heartbreak to the opera.
Stephen Kulbert: “This is a completely different place. Today they announced two members of the Board of Directors, Bashar Asad and the skeleton.”
John Mawlani: “Welcome to the Kennedy Center, or as it will be known next week, Roy Cohen's suite for great men.”
Sarah Silverman: “I just miss the days when I was an orange fool in America.”
There were a number of jokes about this final prize for Mark Twain, given some humor at night at the expense of the president. Other jokes tend to ridicule the skin of the skin, an abnormal humor, and its legendary stopping in a profession, and Jay Lino.
This event was the first major boach since Trump took over the place, but Operen was chosen by the former regime, then led by its president, David Robinstein, and President Depora Rart, who was toppled by Trump. When he mentioned their names, he got a great applause, before mocking, “Frankly, I don't know why they are not here tonight. I lost WiFi in January …”
He laughed. Then he thanked those who worked at the Kennedy Center “for years, and who are concerned about what the future might bring. My eternal thanks for their non -selfish arts.”
His comment comments on long and sustainable applause.
In his acceptance, O'Brien also talked about Twin, a person, “he performed punching, not down, deep, deeply sympathized with the weak.” The implicit comparison was for the current moment.
“Twin was suffering from hypocrisy and hated racism,” Operen noted.
He added: “Twin was suspicious of popularity, genius, imperialism, excess money in the sects and any expression of the reckless American power or subjective importance. Twain was patriotic at the best time to celebrate.
