Summary

Playwright Neil Simon on this edition of Fresh Air. Simon talks about being this year's recipient of the Kennedy Center's Mark Twain prize for American humor. He follows in the footsteps of former honorees Steve Martin, Bob Newhart, Richard Pryor, and Lily Tomlin. Also, we remember R&B singer Ruth Brown who died last week at the age of 78. She was known as the Queen of R&B. Her hits included "Mama He treats Your Daughter Mean" and "Teardrops From My Eyes". [Broadcast Date: November 23, 2006]
