About

Throughout his life, Cappy McGarr has seen firsthand how humor uplifts people—from Dallas to DC, in politics and entertainment. In The Man Who Made Mark Twain Famous, Cappy candidly reveals how he's met some of the funniest people in the world during his time in national politics, and as co-creator of the Kennedy Center Mark Twain Prize. (Not every funny person is a comedian, and not every comedian is that funny.)

He also walks through challenging moments in the history of the Mark Twain Prize, from carefully navigating a post-9/11 ceremony, to scrambling to honor one legend posthumously. Plus, Cappy reveals his white whales: the people he could never get to accept the Mark Twain Prize.

Against the assault of laughter, Cappy McGarr remains standing—with plenty of stories to tell.
