WASHINGTON (AP) – The Latest on Bill Murray being honored at the Kennedy Center (all times local):

10:43 p.m.

Bill Murray accepted a bust of Mark Twain for his lifetime achievement in comedy – and immediately handed it to the audience to be passed around.

Murray was honored Sunday night at the Kennedy Center by more than a dozen of his co-stars and collaborators, including David Letterman, Sigourney Weaver and his older brother, Brian Doyle-Murray.

Murray thanked his brother for helping him get his start in improvisational theater, saying, “My brother had more guts than anyone I ever knew.” Murray then added, “He’s been waiting a long time to hear that.”
