“I’m really honored to be hosting this year’s Webbys. The Internet and social media we have can be pretty devastating sometimes, so to come together and celebrate more of the Internet we want is a dream.” – Josh Johnson

From Podcasts and Creators to AI, Video & Film, Apps, and more, the 30th Annual Webby Awards will spotlight the people and projects shaping the Internet today and what comes next. Each year, the Webby Awards find new ways to champion those pushing digital creativity forward, ensuring the internet is more accessible for all, and spotlighting one of the Webby Awards’ most iconic traditions: five-word acceptance speeches.

Josh Johnson first found success with NBC’s The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, where he was a writer and made his late-night debut in 2017.

Since then, Johnson has been a fixture at Comedy Central’s Webby-winning program The Daily Show, where he started as a writer and now acts as a rotating host and correspondent.

He is also a prolific writer and performer who has amassed a following of over 10 million. Johnson experiments with formats through his viral videos, including weekly stand-up sets with his YouTube channel. In 2025, he released 38 hours of topical stand-up material performed in front of a live audience. The content on his YouTube channel has been viewed over half a billion times by people around the world.

Offline, Johnson recently wrapped up his sold-out FLOWERS TOUR, which took him and his signature sharp comedic style to 112 cities around the globe. This Spring, Johnson is also set to premiere his HBO comedy special “Symphony”.

“We couldn’t be more excited to have Josh Johnson host this year’s 30th Annual Webby Awards. His point of view and humor come from a real understanding of the Internet and everything that comes with it.”
