MONTREAL — Canadian comedy legend Jim Carrey is in Montreal accepting the Generation Award given by the city's annual Just For Laughs festival.

The actor and comedian is currently a co-executive producer on the Showtime series "I'm Dying Up Here."
 
 
"The Daily Show" host Trevor Noah was also celebrated at the festival as the recipient of Comedy Person of the Year Award.
