Will Ferrell was recently honored with the Mark Twain Award for American Humor. Ferrell said of the prize…

“If my children try to touch it, or even look at it, I will beat them. Tonight is my night. If I want to go on an all-night bender with Gwen Ifill, I will.”

Conan O’Brien, Ben Stiller, Matthew Broderick, Jack Black, Andy Samberg, Paul Rudd, John C. Reilly, Tim Meadows, Molly Shannon, Ed Asner and Gwen Ifill all paid tribute to Ferrell throughout the night. PBS will air the 90 minute award show on Halloween.
