For decades, fans of Miss Piggy have complained that she’s never been given a major award for her work in the entertainment industry. Those days are finally over, as the Fellowship Of Outstanding Late-Night has awarded Up Late with Miss Piggy for the prestigious Desko Award! Previous recipients have including such late night staples as The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson, The Late Show with David Letterman, and The Pat Sajak Show. Piggy had some stiff competition, as seen in the full list of nominees.
- Full Frontal with Samantha Bee
- Last Week Tonight with John Oliver
- Late Night with Seth Meyers
- The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore
- Up Late with Miss Piggy
Miss Piggy will be the first pig in television history to win the Desko. Congratulations to Miss Piggy and the entire Up Late team (despite Miss Piggy’s protests that she deserves all of the accolades herself).
