“The Daily Show” host Trevor Noah announced the winners of the 2020 Pandemmy Awards on Sunday, awarding winners in categories including “Best Bullshit,” “Best Supporting Disaster” and “Outstanding Achievement in Wishful Thinking.”
Donald Trump was the big winner of the evening, taking home the Pandemmys for Most Optimistic Performance for saying Covid-19 would “disappear” and Outstanding Stunt Coordination for the video of him struggling down a ramp at West Point. The president was also given a special award for Outstanding Achievement in Self-Editing.
The Pandemmys, a parody of Sunday’s Emmy Awards where “The Daily Show” lost in the variety talk series category to “Last Week Tonight,” were announced by Noah last Friday. The awards honor “the most notable performances during the coronavirus pandemic,” Noah said. Winners were decided by an online fan vote.
