stars John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd, were also Grammy-nominated for best new artist in 1979, but the album for which they were nominated,, was only incidentally comedic. A track from the album, “Rubber Biscuit,” was nominated for best comedy recording, but the album itself was nominated for best rock vocal performance by a duo or group.
While comedians haven’t gotten any recognition in the Big Four categories since 1979, they have fronted the Grammy telecast 18 times since 1987. Billy Crystal was the first comedian to host the live Grammy telecast, in 1987. He repeated in that role in the next two years, and went on to host nine Oscar telecasts.
Garry Shandling hosted the Grammys four times, more than any other comedian. Ellen DeGeneres, Rosie O’Donnell, Jon Stewart and James Corden each hosted twice. Whoopi Goldberg, Paul Reiser and Trevor Noah each hosted once.Here are three more comedy/Grammy notes: Bill Cosby won the Grammy for best comedy album seven times, more often than anyone else. George Carlin and Richard Pryor are runners-up, with five wins each in the category.
Pryor is the only comedian to receive a lifetime achievement award from the Recording Academy. He received the honor posthumously in 2006, shortly after his death in December 2005 at age 65. Six comedy albums have been inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame . Those albums, with their year of release, are:Stan Freberg Presents the United States of America and Pryor’s
