Mark Twain Prize For American Humor 2024: Kevin Hart

Done+Dusted produced the Kennedy Center's triumphant 25th Mark Twain Prize for American Humor, marking the first year of a multi-year partnership with Netflix. This milestone event honored the comedic genius of Kevin Hart, captivating both the live audience and viewers at home.

We curated an unforgettable evening, weaving a compelling narrative through the program and spotlighting iconic moments such as Kevin's grand entrance with pyrotechnics, his lively dance with Lil Dicky, and the exhilarating opening performance by Nelly and Robin Thicke. With meticulous attention to detail, we ensured that every aspect of the production exceeded expectations.

Done+Dusted's scope of work encompassed staging the event for the Kennedy Center, this being one of its biggest fundraising nights of the year, while simultaneously crafting an 80-minute special for Netflix. By seamlessly integrating the live event and the broadcast experience, we created a truly immersive experience for all.

The Mark Twain Prize holds a special place in our hearts. In the course of the 5 editions we have produced, the event has cemented its place as America’s highest recognition for comedy. We are honored to be part of this storied tradition, celebrating the profound impact of comedy on American society. We look forward to continuing our partnership with the Kennedy Center and Netflix, bringing this iconic event to even greater heights in the years to come.
