Bruce Springsteen performs alongside the night’s band leader Gary Clark Jr. and a number of past stars from “The Daily Show” show up, including Steve Carell, Samantha Bee, Ed Helms and (who remembers her briefest of stints?)

Others adding to the accolades include the last Twain winner, Dave Chappelle, historian Jon Meacham, Jimmy Kimmel and Pete Davidson (whose date is Kim Kardashian). My live report from the event appeared here.
