Ali Wong Pays Tribute To San Francisco As She Accepts Golden Globe For Stand-Up Performance


Ali Wong tonight won her second Golden Globe — this time, for Performance in Stand-Up Comedy on Television.

Wong went on to thank Molly Schminke from the SF Punch Line comedy club, as well as her best friend Mia, saying in closing, “Thank you so much for all your love and support throughout the years. Other comics she beat out tonight included Nikki Glaser ( Someday You’ll Die), who hosted the ceremony, as well as Seth Meyers ( Dad Man Walking), Ramy Youssef ( More Feelings), Jamie Foxx ( What Had Happened Was), and Adam Sandler ( Love You). Recently directing the first hour-long special of comedian Frankie Quiñones — ironically, for Hulu — Wong took her career to a new level with the first season of Netflix’s cultural phenomenon Beef, in which she starred opposite Steven Yeun, becoming the first Asian woman to win the Lead Actress Emmy while garnering a Globe and other accolades.
