Posing together after the ceremony, Black was all smiles as he stood beside wife Tanya Haden and sons Samuel, 12, and Thomas, 10.
Black was the 2,645th person to receive the honor. His star was placed next to the historic Stromberg Clock on Hollywood Boulevard, as an homage to his new film,The House with a Clock in its Walls.

Of course, the comedian couldn’t help but make a joke or too – starting with the fact that the star indicates he should do something else: retire.
“I’ve wanted one of these things for so long, since I was a kid. I thought, ‘Oh man. If you get one of those things on the sidewalk, that means you’ve made it.’ And I feel like I’ve finally grasped that sweet brass ring. And the the question is where do we go now?” Black said.
“I’m here to announce my retirement,” he added, to the boos of onlookers. “I got the thing! Why continue! Once you get the thing, I’ve made it. I’ve officially, I have made it. And I’m going to focus on diet and exercise.”

Black also had some strong words forPresident Donald Trump.
Previously, Black has been a vocal critic of Trump’s. On the day of his inauguration, he and Tenacious D bandmate Kyle Glass performed their protest song — “The Government Totally Sucks” — at an anti-protest rally.
“We haven’t played this song for years, because it just never felt appropriate,” he told the crowd, in video of from the performance shared online. “But now, we’re happy to unleash the beast. The government totally sucks.”
