The Comedy Awards!


Here at We Like TV, we're big fans of awards shows.  But the problem with awards shows is that the dramas usually take home the big prizes, and comedies usually don't get much recognition.  That's why my favorite awards show is the Comedy Awards!  The Comedy Awards were started last year on Comedy Central, and recognize the best of comedy in television, film, and standup.  Here's a short recap of last year's Comedy Awards show:
