Note Certain award groups do not simply award one winner. They acknowledge several different recipients, have runners-up, and have third place. Since this is a specific recognition and is different from losing an award, runner-up mentions are considered wins in this award tally. For simplification and to avoid errors, each award in this list has been presumed to have had a prior nomination.

Trevor Noah is a South African comedian and talk show host. Over his career he has received two Primetime Emmy Awards (out of 20 nominations) as well as nominations for a Golden Globe Award and two Grammy Awards.
