Commie Awards

The Commie Awards was an award show that recognized the best in comedy in various categories. It was produced by Comedy Central[1] and meant to be a replacement for the defunct American Comedy Awards.[2]

The first ceremony aired on the network on December 7, 2003. The show featured Rodney Dangerfield receiving a lifetime achievement award.[citation needed] However, for unknown reasons the network discontinued the awards and would not air another comedy awards ceremony until the 2011 Comedy Awards.[2]
