#Former_Golden_Globes #host_Ricky_Gervais_absent #first_stand-up_award
Ricky Gervais made history at the 2024 Golden Globes when he won the ceremony's first-ever award for Best Performance in Stand-Up Comedy on Television — but he wasn't even there to accept the honor.

Sunday's Globes marked the first time stand-up comedians have been honored at the awards show. The newly created category recognizes outstanding work from a comic in a traditional stand-up format, and comedy specials that aired on broadcast, basic and premium cable, streaming, and pay-per-view were considered.
