- Kumail Nanjiani honors Julia Louis-Dreyfus with a "Twain Talk" during the 21st Annual Mark Twain Prize for American Humor at The Kennedy Center.
An outstanding lineup of entertainers gathered in the Kennedy Center Concert Hall to salute Julia Louis-Dreyfus, recipient of the 21st annual Mark Twain Prize for American Humor on October 21, 2018. The Prize, which is named to honor one of the world's greatest humorists, was presented at a gala performance featuring some of the biggest names in comedy. The event was taped by WETA Washington, D.C. and aired nationally on PBS on November 19, 2018 at 9:00 p.m. ET.
Under the direction of the creative team from Done + Dusted, the Kennedy Center’s new producing partner for the Twain Prize, the cast features many of Louis-Dreyfus’s admirers, friends, and collaborators, including Stephen Colbert, Bryan Cranston, Tina Fey, Ilana Glazer, Tony Hale, Abbi Jacobson, Jack Johnson, Keegan-Michael Key, Lisa Kudrow, Kumail Nanjiani, and Jerry Seinfeld.
Julia Louis-Dreyfus earned worldwide acclaim for her portrayal of Elaine Benes in the hit NBC series "Seinfeld," and as Christine Campbell in the CBS hit comedy "The New Adventures of Old Christine." She currently stars in, and executive produces, the HBO series "Veep," which will soon begin its seventh season.
Between all shows combined, she has received eleven Emmy awards (six consecutively for "Veep") with twenty-four nominations, a Golden Globe award, nine Screen Actors Guild awards which makes her the most decorated actor in the history of the SAG awards, three Television Critics Association awards, five American Comedy Awards, a Peabody Award, and the Charlie Chaplin Britannia Award for Excellence in Comedy. She has broken the record for the most Emmy's won by a single performer, as well as the most consecutive wins for a single role ("Veep").

I have yet to see a bad or even an average or mediocre performance by Kumail. 10/10.
Farrukh Shabbir exactly. He so funny 🤣
Absolutely true
5/7 truly the best
watch eternals
@@amiruldaniel9076 His performance was great in that too. Although the plot of the movie sucks.
This dude is amazing. He NEVER said the name, he didn't need to. What a speech.
Mau Ferrusca
Stream his movie “The Big Sick.” He’s awesome as is the movie 🍿!
@@peterwood5989 will do. Thanks.
Good one
So David? .. I'm sorry, what name ? Ty 😊
Pakistani Denzel getting the recognition he deserves
Hell yes.
Loool
Pakistani Leonardo Dicarprio
How do the two even compare? Denzel isnt a comedian
Pakistani ryan reynolds.
At first I thought the TwainTalk bit might fall flat, but he nailed it --- hilarious!
Same thing with the clown picture. I thought it was a little weird at first, but the way he kept coming back to it to embarrass her was hysterical!
“You take your eyebrows and you get out” 😂😂😂
DID NOT EXPECT THAT.
ded 😂😂😂
Kumail should be a host for 2020 oscar. He deserved it.
With the career trajectory that this dude is on, we might have to start calling Denzel: American Kumail
lmao
what is Denzel?
Now this is too much.
Why they are comparing with Denzel?
Kumail is cool..... But he is no Denzel
Can we bring up the picture of the clown and Julia again? Lmao. He killed it
Now that's what u call a set.... Brilliant
Kumail slayed so hard. My god! That might have been perfection right there.
Also the "Shes diplomatic. That used to be part of it".
"She is diplomatic. That used to be part of it." Fucking awesome.
Down to the hand gestures perpendicular to the camera screen and the remote clicks. Brilliant.
Say what?!?
From the moment I watched Silicon Valley. This guy has been my favorite comedian.
I want to fix his tie. So badly.
calm your OCD
Oh thank god somebody said it😂
Exactly...My OCD 😩😩
Honestly Kumail Nanjiani is such a perfectionist that I honestly assume it was done intentionally. Just to be a little off, but very noticeably visually, to add comedic affect.
Nothing is wrong with his bow tie. It has a mic attached to it.
This was absolutely brilliant.
5:41 Bryan Cranston, priceless..
Kumail is a real genius!
The way she said 'get out', pure acting genius.
Kumail is one of my favorite human beings.
You sound like you are an existence above humans
@@taurusking_1997 Whatever do you mean, my fellow human being?
That was hilarious.
I'm not a pervert, but that is my screen saver! Lol
Easily my favorite of the night. A+
Kumail deserves every bit of success that he is getting. Too bad that in Pakistan, noone knows about him like they should.
We do know him here in Pakistan. If you are talking about every person here then it is not possible as he does his shows in a foreign language
we know him
@@NB-pf6il well said
He built his career in hollywood not in pakistan. Of course he is more known in US.
I’ve watched this multiple times…still brilliant. I don’t think I’ll ever tire of it or him!
3:21 the clown comment savage😂😂😂 and how Julia tries to explain it to her mum sitting beside her😂😂😂
Jane Doe My favorite part 😂😂😂
I am so proud of him as a fellow Pakistani ❤️ Pakistan Zindabad & Pakistan loves you Kumail bhai ❤️ 🇵🇰
He became an atheist. So not totally Pakistani.
Arraik Cruor Pakistan is a country not a religion.
@@hammadmalik5783 A country made for the Islamic identity.
Arraik Cruor oh shut up !!!go get some education please
@@arraikcruor6407 becoming an athiest dosent automatically changes your nationality i guess?
*his punch lines are always top notch! well done Kumail* 👍👍👍
He's nailing it now a days.. Love from India kumail, keep up the good work.
Is he in another current serie?
"She is diplomatic.....that used to be part of it."
I love you Julia. And you too Kumail. Love from Bangladesh.
Never saw this until now! Kumail is so good, wow
Kumail never disappoints
Top notch bit, Kumail!
Kumail did an amazing job. Wow! I can’t stop laughing 😂

If you watch closely, Kumail is holding down his smile when she said that line.😂😂😂
It's true 😂
Damn, that was pretty... pretty good

the marvel cinematic universe has Mr. Nanjiani getting buffed. hence the form-fitting suit. i wouldn't be surprised if he started doing more action and dramatic roles.
This is brilliant.
The funniest. always knew he would be big!. So Hilarious!!
Might be the best speech of the night in terms of comedy. Also, that tux is fucking killer.
This guy's speech is funnier than Jerry Seinfeld's that day!
damn, that's a seriously good suit
He's always so funny.
Brilliant!
The best!!
Top Notch!!!

F.... a clown? I couldn't believe she sacrificed so much on the holy altar of comedy. 🤣😄😅😂😆
#ClownsArePeopleToo°
So he asked julia before showing the photo? Is it like that he said concent
It was in a magazine, kind of a public picture, also, they are friends, so he probably knows her humour better than you perhaps.
@@viperswhip got it man thanx
We proud of you kumail, bqz of you people find out the real face of Pakistan.
🤣🤣🤣
2:32 _giggity_
Hahah nice
I did not get the diplomatic that used to be part of it joke!
Abdullah Ashraf: I think, being diplomatic is part of being presidential in his opinion, the current one is weak in that part.
Best line You don't have to be a dick to be comedian
