After announcing its full list of winners last month, the Peabody Awards celebrated those honorees in person on Sunday night, with a L.A. ceremony hosted by Roy Wood Jr.
The comedian kicked things off inside the Beverly Wilshire by joking, “Last year’s host was Kumail Nanjiani, so that is back-to-back years with a minority host. The Peabodys standing up for diversity, how about that? Which means in a few months, the White House will cut their funding and so they’ll have John Mulaney, that’s on y’all.”
The event honored 34 winners across entertainment, documentary, news, podcast/radio, arts, children’s
and youth, public service, and interactive and immersive programming, with a focus on storytelling that reflects the social issues and emerging voices of today. Baby Reindeer , Rip
