Who is the youngest winner of the Mark Twain Prize?

Writer and actress Tina Fey was 40 years old when she was awarded the Mark Twain Prize in 2010, making her the youngest recipient in the award’s history. Fey is best known for her work on the television shows Saturday Night Live—she was its first female head writer (1999–2006)—and 30 Rock (2006–13), which helped establish her as one of the leading comedians of the early 21st century.
