Elusive comedian and actor Bill Murray was honoured with the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor at a star-studded event

In an evening filled with jokes about Bill Murray’s elusiveness and quirky personality, it was David Letterman who provided the most touching moment as Murray was honoured with the top US prize for comedy.

Murray, 66, received the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor on Sunday night at the Kennedy Center, joining several other Saturday Night Live alumni to win the annual award. “I’m confused and I feel like I’m in a hurricane,” Murray told the crowd in Washington DC.

“There’s love, that’s what we came with, that’s what we go with. I love you, let’s try to repeat that to each other,” Murray said, quickly goading the audience to pass around his trophy, a small bust of the 19th century writer and humorist, to “see how far back it can get.”

“When I can’t see it any longer, that’s when I’m coming down the steps,” said
