El Thurber Prize for American Humor (Premio Thurber de Humor Estadounidense), llamado en honor al humorista estadounidense James Thurber, reconoce contribuciones al campo de la escritura humorística. La Thurber House galardona el premio el cual era otorgado irregularmente al principio, pero ha sido galardonado anualmente desde 2004. En 2015, las finalistas fueron, por primera vez, todas mujeres.[1] Los ganadores del Premio Thurber han incluido a los presentadores de The Daily Show Jon Stewart y Trevor Noah, redactores de The New Yorker Calvin Trillin y Ian Frazier, además de los profesores universitarios Julie Schumacher y Harrison Scott Key.[2]
