A portion of the Huxtable family reunited as Phylicia Rashad and Malcolm-Jamal Warner supported their "The Cosby Show" co-star Bill Cosby, who was presented with the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C. The recent event will air on PBS this Wednesday.
The funnyman was honored to be the recipient, saying Twain was "the quintessential American writer…because he held his language and his love for words in perfect American form," according to the Associated Press.
First Lady Michelle Obama and the vice President's wife, Jill Biden, watched on as Jerry Seinfeld and Chris Rock introduced clips of some of Cosby's most iconic scenes and routines. Comedic actor Sinbad also attended the event to salute his role model, reported the AP.
This award presentation will be broadcast nationwide on PBS on November 4 at 8 p.m. ET. The Mark Twain Prize is just the latest honor Cosby can add to his trophy cabinet. He received the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2002.
