Carol Burnett, Norman Lear, Bob Newhart, Carl Reiner, Lily Tomlin To Receive The Paley Honors: A Special Tribute to Television’s Comedy Legends
Here’s a trivia fact for you: of this group, Burnett, Newhart, Reiner, and Tomlin all have Mark Twain Prizes for Humor from the Kennedy Center (Norman Lear really ought to have one given the Mark Twain Prize’s mission statement of having an impact on American society via their comedic work).
Come Nov. 21st (that’s when the ceremony will happen at Beverly Wilshire Hotel), they all, in one fell swoop, get a lifetime achievement award from The Paley Center for Media for their renowned comedy series and specials.
One hopes that they all show up and they all try to top each other with their acceptance speeches.
