On Sunday, Ali Wong was awarded the 2025 Golden Globe for the top-notch stand-up comedy performance on television.
Ali Wong’s victory was for her latest Netflix special titled “Ali Wong: Single Lady,” which focuses on her post-divorce experiences. During her acceptance speech, Wong reminisced about the modest comedy venues in San Francisco where she initially launched her stand-up career.
I owe my success as a stand-up comedian to the countless hours I spent on stage and practicing. I have Molly Schminke from the San Francisco Comedy Club to thank for providing me with that opportunity. And, Mia (Serafino), my best friend, I appreciate your unwavering love and support over the years; it means everything to me.” – Wong addressed the Golden Globes audience.
As a dedicated fan, I can’t help but rave about my personal favorite, Ali Wong’s stand-up special “Ali Wong: Single Lady.” This hilarious performance finds Ali sharing her heartfelt journey to find love once more, after the conclusion of her marriage. It’s a must-watch for anyone who loves a good laugh and a bit of honest introspection!
In a competitive category, Wong emerged victorious alongside notable figures like Jamie Foxx, who was nominated for his special “Jamie Foxx: What Had Happened Was”, Nikki Glaser for “Nikki Glaser: Someday You’ll Die”, Seth Meyers for “Seth Meyers: Dad Man Walking”, Adam Sandler for “Adam Sandler: Love You”, and Ramy Youssef for “Ramy Youssef: More Feelings”.
Last year, the stand-up competition category was introduced for the first time, with Ricky Gervais taking the top prize by outperforming heavyweights such as Chris Rock, Trevor Noah, Amy Schumer, Sarah Silverman, and Wanda Sykes. The live special format of stand-up comedy has been gaining traction and growing in popularity lately, as networks like HBO and Netflix have increased their production of high-profile, star-driven stand-up comedy shows.
The Golden Globe Awards honor the best stand-up comedy performances on TV, specifically those that last at least 30 minutes without interruption, excluding roles in series, limited series, anthology series, or movies created for television. These outstanding performances must have been presented on a recognized media platform (excluding individual social media accounts).
