If the Grammys are the joke their critics make them out to be, then the 'best comedy album' category is the punchline. We look at the worst Grammy award, which honors fame and celebrity more than talent.
The woke internet mob strikes again as “cancelled” comedians Louis C.K. and Kevin Hart have been burdened with their third and second Grammy nomination, respectively. It might come as a surprise to some that C.K., who admitted to multiple acts of sexual misconduct in 2017, quietly released an album this year.
The Recording Academy nominated Lavell Crawford, Chelsea Handler, Nate Bargatze, and Lewis Black alongside Hart and C.K. for it’s only comedy award, Best Comedy Album, for the upcoming 64th Annual Grammy Awards. Bo Burnham’s, arguably the most popular special of the year with both critics and fans, was not considered eligible .
The pool of Best Comedy Album nominees is repetitive even for a major award show, as the same names pop up each year. Jim Gaffigan has found himself nominated for six albums in a row, five out of his last six for Patton Oswalt, four out of five for Rock, four in a row for Weird Al Yankovic, five in a row for Lewis Black, and, perhaps the most telling, six in a row for Kathy Griffin.
It was only a matter of time before C.K. was hoisted onto a pedestal again. This industry has always protected abusers. It’s a system that values a facade of forgiveness over justice as the conversations always revolve around what’s next for the disgraced instead of their victims.
