Ricky Gervais & Nikki Glaser Score First Grammy Nominations For Best Comedy Album; Dave Chappelle, Jim Gaffigan & Trevor Noah Also In Mix…

Already, four of the five sets have been recognized by other major awards bodies. Gervais’s Armageddon won the first-ever Golden Globe for Best Performance in Stand-Up Comedy on Television earlier this year, with Someday You’ll Die scoring a pair of Emmy nominations. The Dreamer has previously been nominated for two Emmys, along with DGA and PGA Awards, with Where Was I being put up for a pair of Emmys, a Golden Globe, and a Critics’ Choice Award.

Unlike Gervais and Glaser, the other three Grammy comedy contenders this year are veterans of their category. Chappelle has won five from six nominations, including last year for his album Dave Chappelle: What’s In A Name?, with Noah landing two, including this past year for Trevor Noah: I Wish You Would. (Notably, he’s also hosted the ceremony four times, including in 2024). Gaffigan, meanwhile, looks for his first win this year on the heels of seven prior nominations.

Set to broadcast on CBS and stream on Paramount+, the 67th Annual Grammy Awards will take place at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles on February 2. View this morning’s full list of nominees above.
