Ali Wong, the hilarious comedian, is making her Grammy debut! Her Netflix special, 'Single Lady', scored her a nomination in the same category as Foxx. This is Wong's first time in the Grammy spotlight, and she's giving us all the laughs.
The Best Comedy Album category is stacked with talent. Sarah Silverman, a comedy veteran, is back for another round with her Netflix special 'PostMortem'.
