The George Foster Peabody Awards (or simply Peabody Awards) program, named for American businessman and philanthropist George Peabody, recognizes distinguished and meritorious public service by American radio and television stations, networks, online media, producing organizations, and individuals.
Reflecting excellence in quality, rather than popularity or commercial success, the Peabody is awarded to about 25–35 winners annually from more than 1,000 entries. Because submissions are accepted from a wide variety of sources and styles, deliberations seek "Excellence On Its Own Terms".
Each entry is evaluated on the achievement of standards it establishes within its own contexts. Entries are self-selected by those making submissions, for which a US$350 fee (US$225 for radio) is required.
In 1938, the National Association of Broadcasters formed a committee to recognize outstanding achievement in radio broadcasting. Committee member Lambdin Kay, public-service director for WSB radio in Atlanta, Georgia, at the time, is credited for creating the award, named for businessman and philanthropist George Foster Peabody, who donated the funds that made the awards possible. Fellow WSB employee Lessie Smithgall introduced Lambdin to John E. Drewry, of the University of Georgia's Henry W. Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communication, who endorsed the idea. The Peabody Award was established in 1940 with the Grady College of Journalism as its permanent home.

E! News, previously known as E! News Daily and E! News Live, is the flagship entertainment newscast of the E! network in the United States. Without italics, it is the name of the network's entertainment-news division. The newscast debuted on September 1, 1991, and primarily reports on celebrity news and gossip, along with previews of upcoming films and television shows, regular segments about all of those three subjects, and some news about the industry in general.
The program first aired on September 1, 1991 and was originally hosted by Dagny Hultgreen. It features stories and gossip about celebrities as well as the film, music, and television industries. Since its launch, it has broadcast under a variety of formats, at one point even airing live during the mid-2000s (at this time, the show was named E! News Live). Starting in 2006, it was hosted by Ryan Seacrest and Giuliana Rancic. In April 2012, Seacrest was replaced by Jason Kennedy. Rancic temporarily left the show on maternity leave in August 2012 due to the birth of her first son (through a surrogate), leaving others to question if she would return. But Rancic reassured her fans by releasing a statement saying she had just signed a three-year deal with E! News and Fashion Police. During her leave, her anchoring duties were taken over by Catt Sadler. From 2006 until late 2010, The Daily 10, hosted by Sal Masekela, Catt Sadler, and at one point Debbie Matenopoulos, aired following E! News.
An award is something given to a person, a group of people, or an organization to recognize their excellence in a certain field; a certificate of excellence. Awards are often signified by trophies, titles, certificates, commemorative plaques, medals, badges, pins, or ribbons. An award may carry a monetary prize given to the recipient; for example, the Nobel Prize for contributions to society or the Pulitzer Prize for literary achievements. An award may also simply be a public acknowledgment of excellence, without any tangible token or prize.
Awards can be given by any person or institution, although the prestige of an award usually depends on the status of the awarder. Usually, awards are given by an organization of some sort, or by the office of an official within an organization or government. For instance, a special presidential citation (as given by the President of the United States) is a public announcement giving an official place of honor (e.g., President Ronald Reagan gave a special presidential citation in 1984 to the Disney Channel for its excellent children's television programming.)
Winner 2014 | Jax Media LLC Showcasing the voluminous comic talents and range of Amy Schumer, Inside Amy Schumer is a sketch show with all sorts of purpose. The fleet-footed Schumer will satirically embody vacuous white privilege in one sketch before pivoting to comically interrogate rape culture, body image norms or sanctimonious savior narratives in the next – and then engage in crisp banter about sexual failures and disappointments in person-on-the-street interviews. She regularly pushes past limits of comfort to mine rarely-explored and taboo territories. Her sketches can crackle with satiric energy, yet she can find just as much humor in a joke about poop, the awkwardness of sexting, or a herpes scare. The common factors are smart, thoughtful humor, and an admirably feminist dedicatio...
Peabody Winner 2015 David Letterman entered our late-night lives like a ghost of television’s past and its future, reviving the anar-chic, anything-goes antics of pioneers like Steve Allen and Ernie Kovacs but also pushing the parameters with a postmodern sense of irony. On Late Night with David Letterman, post-Tonight on NBC, he was a one-man fringe festival, a daffy dadaist who found hilarious new uses for Velcro, watermelons and monkeys. He dismissed the obsequious veneer of showbiz chitchat and made celebrities work for their promotional plugs, expecting them to play at his comedic level or be left twisting in the wind. His irreverence, his tongue-in-cheek Top Ten lists, his outlandish sight gags and his prickly personality resonated with the young and the sleepless and the TV-jaded. ...
Long revered throughout the history of broadcasting as one of the world’s most prestigious awards, Peabody celebrates its 75th Anniversary in 2016. To mark this historic occasion, we will host a series of events, culminating with the Awards presentation on the evening of Saturday, May 21, 2016. The awards will be taped for a television special to air on the cable channel Pivot in June. The 75th annual award winners will be announced in mid-April.
Peabody Winner 2015 From That Was The Week That Was to Saturday Night Live‘s Weekend Update and HBO’s Not Necessarily the News, television has long found humor and absurdity in news and current events. But Comedy Central’s The Daily Show – once comedian Jon Stewart became its host/anchor in 1999 – was a different animal, an evolutionary leap. In an era of politicized, echo-chamber news channels and traditional-journalism timidity, The Daily Show with Jon Stewart didn’t simply mine the day’s news for jokes. It spoke truth to power and wither-ing sarcasm to hypocrisy, taking on the news media as well as the news makers, and thus became a trusted source of news for citizens united in their disappointment and disgust with politics and cable news. Aided and abetted by writers such as former On...
The University of Georgia's Grady School of Journalism awards the Peabody for excellence in television, radio and the Internet. CBS News' Mark Strassmann reports on what makes the Peabody so special.
Winner 2014 | HBO Entertainment in association with Sixteen String Jack Productions and Avalon Television Good satire helps citizens cope. It announces what’s wrong and assures us that others have noticed, too. It encourages us to come together – first to ridicule politics’ failings, then hopefully to overcome them – and it’s deeply funny while doing so. Last Week Tonight with John Oliver is great satire, doing all this and more. Oliver uses his status as someone with one foot outside the U.S., one foot inside, to lodge an outsider’s uncompromising critique with the care of someone who needs to live here. And freed from commercial breaks, he capitalizes on the ability to maintain focus and go for the kill, at times offering the best, most cogent explanations of complex issues, at times b...
Peabody Winner 2015 | HBO Entertainment and Warner Bros Television in association with Damon Lindelof Productions and Film 44 Set several years after the unexplained disappearance of 2 percent of the world’s population, The Leftovers powerfully mines complex emotional states that are rarely so central to television. A show about loss, recovery and how we live with raw pain, and about faith and the loss of belief, it boldly shies away from easy answers or resolutions. If television often excels by offering us visions of security and comfort, The Leftovers walks a different path into a world of insecurity, indeterminacy and absence, regularly asking what we know about life and exploring how we cope with the unknown. Creators Damon Lindelof and Tom Perrotta have crafted an inspiring, unpredi...

Winner 2005 | Comedy Central No aspect of modern society is exempt from the scathing satirical campaigns mounted by the raucous children of South Park. Institutions, individuals, and ideologies—all are targets. So, too, is the series itself. Constantly doing battle with critics, with those whose values it challenges or lampoons, and with its own network, this cartoon for adults continues to push the boundaries of what is meant by “freedom of speech.” Censorship, the largest thorn in the side of creators/executive producers Trey Parker and Matt Stone, is attacked regularly, and in its ten years, South Park has broken down the barriers of television censorship, created new ones, and subsequently shattered them again. Victims of the show’s irreverence range from religious leaders and icons o...

Winner 1999 | GMA Networks The heart wrenching stories exposed by GMA Network represent a comprehensive and on-going effort to depict the complexity of social problems in a region rife with political and social unrest. Executive producer Marissa Flores, with a talented team of producers, writer, directors and reporters, including Jessica Soho, Michelle Seva-Recto, Jay Taruc, Leogarda Sanchez and Rowel Cornejo, and powerful videography by Melchor Quintos and Gregg Gonzales, delve into the hardships shared by many Filipinos. In Kidneys for Sale, GMA Network entered a depressed area along the shores of Manila Bay and revealed how a colony of unemployed men have sold their kidneys for an average of $2,500 US dollars. After the documentary aired the government was forced to step in and impose...
Winner 2011 | Hello Doggie Inc., Busboy Productions, Spartina Productions, Comedy Central In a satirical protest against megabucks politics, Stephen Colbert launched his own Super PAC, “Americans for a Better Tomorrow, Tomorrow,” and began soliciting donations on his nightly show in accordance with the U.S. Supreme Court‘s Citizens United ruling that allowed unlimited political contributions with very limited transparency. The Federal Election Commission ruled that Colbert could indeed create and operate his Super PAC, and he was off and running. “Americans for a Better Tomorrow, Tomorrow” became an active participant in the Iowa and South Carolina presidential primaries, making and airing outrageous political commercials that supported real candidates and issues. In other segments, Colb...

After winning a George Foster Peabody Award this 2013, Reel Time "Salat" also wins a Silver World Medal at the New York Festivals for GMA News TV. The winning episode of Reel Time, "Salat" (Bone Dry) is described on the Peabody website as an "unflinching portrait of a woman with six mouths to feed which personifies a brutal statistic: two out of every ten Filipino children are malnourished." Although a first for the fledgling news channel GMA News TV, it is the third George Foster Peabody for GMA News and Public Affairs, as well as being the third for the Philippines.

Creator Michael Schur, Star Amy Poehler, and the cast of Parks and Recreation gather after the 71st Annual Peabody Awards Ceremony to talk about the making of the politically satiric television show, Parks and Recreation.
The Peabody jury calls Bey's "Lemonade" a "sublime masterpiece", as the album continues to rack in awards almost a year after its release.

Winner 2013 | Central Productions For sketch comics Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele, both sons of black fathers and white mothers, biracialism is liberation, a cultural all-access pass, a skeleton key to any lock they care to try. The duo impersonates a wide world of black men, from nerds to thugs, sports icons to buppies. They tackle racially charged issues and ideas like no one else on television. In their best-known recurring bit, Peele addresses viewers in the guise of a calm, carefully controlled Barack Obama and Key, as his aggravated id, Luther, barks what the President really thinks and feels. Fearless, they make a blistering point about the Trayvon Martin tragedy and dare, without being disrespectful, to get a laugh. Yet they are just as likely to transform themselves into It...
Winner 2013 | CNN, Zero Point Zero Production, Inc. Though Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown is sometimes referred to as a “culinary travelogue,” the shorthand doesn’t do the series justice. Bourdain, who first made his name as a chef does seem obsessed with discovering new taste sensations. But wherever his appetite takes him, it’s the side-dish stories that make his visits so memorable and nourishing. Apart from his knowledge of food and cooking, he’s comfortable with himself and with other people, whether he’s surveying Tokyo’s freaky afterhours scene, meeting whitewater fishermen on the Congo River, or waltzing into the house behind Greedy Greg’s sidewalk rib stand in Detroit to get a helping of greens straight from the owners’ stove. He’s irreverent, honest, curious, never condescendin...
