American Comedy Awards - Begun May 19,1987 this award honors excellence in comedy. The program featured a number of firsts. It was the first time stars from cable and syndicated series competed against network television programs; the first opportunity for comedians to vote for who they thought were funny; and the first time network television had given a full two hours to honor the funniest people in show business. Some 700 comedians cast ballots to choose winners from 13 categories, including funniest male and female entertainer in a TV series, movie and stand up comedy. The award trophy is a smiling golden mask encased in a block of clear plastic.
