Criteria

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.

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]
