The Golden Globe Award for Best Performance in Stand-Up Comedy on Television (a.k.a. Best Stand-Up Comedian on Television) is an award that was first presented in 2024, via the voting journalists of the Golden Globe Foundation (following the disbanding of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association in 2023).[1]
Comedian Nikki Glaser, who is hosting the upcoming 82nd Golden Globe Awards, is simultaneously nominated for this award at the same ceremony.[2]
Criteria
[edit]According to Dick Clark Productions, qualifications include performing a traditional stand-up comedy routine lasting 30 minutes or more (excluding guest appearances on scripted series). The comedic routine must air in the United States during the calendar year for eligibility; and must be released on any variety of cable, pay-per-view, or streaming services—but social media accounts do not qualify.[3]
Eligibility is open to both individual comedians or an ensemble group as well. Finally, there will be a total of six nominees per year.[4]
"The Golden Globes has a rich history of supporting and celebrating the work of comedians, and we’re thrilled to honor their brilliance," Golden Globes president Helen Hoehne stated, upon revealing new categories.[3]
