Rejoice, nerds. It’s just been announced that Tina Fey will receive the Mark Twain Prize For American Humor and though we only learned of the prize’s existence today, we can think of none more deserving than the former SNL cast member, Sarah Palin impersonator, 30 Rock creator and Mean Girls scribe.

Fey joins the likes of Bill Cosby, Steve Martin, Lily Tomlin, Richard Pryor and George Carlin and is not only the award’s third female recipient ever but its youngest too. Below is the very best of Liz Lemon.
