    I clicked here thinking to laugh..I did of course.It's Bill Murray for Christ Sake..But he moved me to almost tears when his speech went into the part about caring about yourself & Others..Like he said "What a break..We're here alive.Pretty good right?"..Sometimes I forget that..So Cheers to everyone alive in 2020!

    It's so perfectly Irish-Catholic to praise your brother and then tweak him in the same breath. God, he's a classic. As one of eight who adores his siblings (and from the same town as Bill Murray) this was perfect. What a pure treasure he is.

      I believe it’s bc to be funny and to know how to make ppl laugh you have to be truly empathic. To be selfless and a vessel to make others happy. Those ppl tend to be deeper in general.

    They don’t need to be alive, a lot of the recipients are either dead or the career is dead (pause for light laughter). But if we’re considering the list of talented comedians to have won this under appreciated piece of ironic rabbit turds... there are a few notable funny people (by modern standards anyway), I believe who are disgustingly overlooked. The list of past recipients is kinda like reading a Mark Twain novel. It’s funny, and fun, but you don’t want to read out loud to your friends with any kind of sincerity.

    So anyway, I’ve got it for the next 50-60 years or so. Let Mark RIP, and I’ll pick the funniest and most deserving funny person (dead or alive) for just a little while. The fact Jay Leno has the award at all, let alone got it three years before Dave... and no offense to great comedy performers like Ferrell or Elaine from Seinfeld, but, wait!
    Larry fucking David and Jerry fucking Seinfeld!
    And why not...
    Lucille ball and Lou Costello?
    Jerry fucking Lewis?!
    No!!! Wait!! Jesus Christ...
    Woody Allen
    Give it to him next year or lose any sense of relevance. I mean good job with Bill and Steve and George... but Tina Fey before any of the aforementioned (did Lorne blow Huckleberry Finn or something?). And I love Tina. But here are five other women who aren’t on the list but I’m just thinking of now - maya rudolph, molly Shannon, Kate McKinnon, Ana gasteyer, Jane Curtin who ate at least just as funny. You give the award to Ellen but not to spade? Bill Cosby but not Louis CK? Might as well call it the Kennedy center Andy dick or Jeanene Garofalo awards...

    Look-wise, Bill hasn’t changed one bit since the Ghostbusters days - except for the graying hair and wrinkled face...
