From the smash-hit sitcom 'Seinfeld' to his sold-out stand-up appearances, nobody epitomizes comedy today better than Jerry Seinfeld. So who better to receive The Comedy Festival's inaugural Comedian Award?

Direct from Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, CNN's Anderson Cooper welcomes Seinfeld and fellow comedians Robert Klein, Chris Rock and Garry Shandling to pay tribute to the superstar when the exclusive HBO comedy event JERRY SEINFELD: THE COMEDIAN AWARD debuts Sunday, April 1 at 9 PM ET/PT.
