I was reading about this award. I am a little shocked that he did not received this award this year. This is a rare award that has been given to such greats as George Carlin, Richard Pryor, Whoopi Goldburg, Steve Martin, Carl Reiner and so many others. This is quite a new award it started in 1998. The 2010 recipient is Tinna Fay. I am a huge fan of Mel Brooks and I hope he will received this award some day.

Tina Fay isn't even funny.

Little known fact: Mark Twain actually present Mel with the original award. It's true. Then nobody was deemed worthy again until Richard Pryor in 1998.
I have seen enough to know I have seen too much.

When I think of Mark Twain, I dont' think of Mel Brooks, and vice versa. He's a Borscht belt comic at heart, and he is probably the hardest working comic writer in show business history. How about the Kennedy Center Honors?

I'd say he's more deserving than Tina Fey
