It’s time to celebrate the very best of the internet and who better to lead the charge than one of the internet’s favorite comedians?

The Webby Awards announced on Wednesday (March 25) that Emmy-nominated comedian Josh Johnson will host this year’s awards ceremony. Fresh off his sold-out Flowers Tour, Johnson will take to the stage on May 11 to entertain attendees, guide the awards ceremony and ensure that all winners keep to the Webby’s time-honored tradition of five-word acceptance speeches.

The Webby awards are presented by the International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences (IADAS) and spotlight all corners of internet greatness. Nominees and winners run the gamut of digital creativity, from viral memes to popular podcasters to trailblazing filmmakers. Nominees for this year’s Webby Awards won’t be announced until Tuesday (March 31), but looking at previous years, there’s bound to be a selection of incredible musicians included.

In 2025, Gracie Abrams, Rihanna and Snoop Dogg were awarded with Webbys, as were Taylor Swift, Selena Gomez, Kendrick Lamar and Ariana Grande.

As the Webby Awards gear up for their 30th year, they are looking back at some of the greatest achievements in internet history, including their list of the Most Iconic Companies in Internet History. Included in the roundup are Spotify for revolutionizing streaming, NPR for work like their Tiny Desk Concerts series and TikTok for helping musicians top charts through sharing short videos.

The Webby Awards will be presented live on Monday, May 11, at Cipriani Wall Street in New York City and streamed on the Webby Awards YouTube channel.
