Will received his award after a bit of ribbing from Dinklage, who joked that Will knows comedy, but not everything. Said Dinklage: 'Here are some things he doesn't know. He doesn't know when to stop staring at your wife in her bikini. He doesn't know the basics of dental hygiene. He doesn't know how to flush. He doesn't know how to fart the alphabet although he will try to convince you he does.' Dinklage said that Will, 45, does know comedy and was rightfully receiving the inaugural Comedic Genius Award.

'I'm just a simple guy from Irvine, California, who had two basic dreams,' Will said. 'First, to hopefully make people laugh. The other dream [is] to be able to wake up every day and dress myself exactly like Dennis Rodman.'

He also brought his 'family' onstage to publicly thank them.
