(New York, New York) – March 25, 2025 – The Webby Awards return on Monday, May 12th to Cipriani Wall Street in New York City with host, Ilana Glazer, to honor the best of the Internet. The 29th Annual Webby Awards will celebrate achievements across advertising, podcasts, games, websites & mobile sites, video & film, social media, apps & software, creators, and more. For the last 29 years, the Webby Awards have championed those pushing digital creativity forward—and this year is no exception.
Comedian, actor, advocate, and creator Ilana Glazer is an Internet icon, winning hearts with the critically acclaimed series Broad City, which was originally created as a web series before its hit television run on Comedy Central, alongside her real-life bestie and creative collaborator, Abbi Jacobson. Since then, Glazer has worked on a number of projects, including the 2024 comedy Babes and her recent standup special, Ilana Glazer: Human Magic. Most recently, she joined the cast of the stage adaptation of the Academy Award nominated film Good Night & Good Luck, starring George Clooney. Beyond the screen and stage, Glazer’s non-profit Generator Collective, organizes and creates content around electing progressive candidates.
“Hosting The Webby Awards is going to be a blast because I love the internet. I use it every day! You could call me both an internet optimist and enthusiast, so this is a match made in Industry Heaven,” added Glazer.
“Ilana Glazer’s sharp humor and unique perspective have made her a defining voice in digital culture, and we’re thrilled to have her as the host of the 29th Annual Webby Awards,” said Jesse Feister, Executive Director & General Manager, Webby Media Group. “She embodies the spirit of the Webby Awards, and we can’t wait to celebrate an incredible night with her.”
