4 reasons Conan O'Brien’s Mark Twain Prize Night is a must-watch comedy event
Conan O'Brien has had quite a career. Even though he has hosted a late-night show on one of the original three big networks, he always seemed like one of us. He was seemingly lucky to have what he got, and he knew it.
But he was also always more talented than he let on, and others knew it. Adam Sandler confessed at March's Mark Twain Prize ceremony (the 2025 prize went to O'Brien) that when O'Brien was writing for Saturday Night Live, he was always "quicker" and "funnier" than everyone else. The thread running from Conan's days working on The Simpsons to his current podcast is humor, and lots of it.
One of the best parts about the Mark Twain Prize this year is that Netflix viewers can now watch it on their favorite streamer. There are moments of oddness, but several of pure hilarious entertainment. Here are four of the best.
