Comedy Central and MTV Networks are organizing the first ever Comedy Awards to air this year. On Monday they revealed the creation of the Johnny Carson Award for Comedic Excellence, which will be the award show’s highest honor.

The show is scheduled to become annual, much like the Oscars and Emmys, only this show will focus solely on the best in comedy.

“The award will be presented annually in honor of the legendary comedian and talk show host to an individual who embodies the comedic excellence of the renowned and beloved comedic powerhouse,” MTV Networks said.

“Johnny Carson is one of the biggest legends not only in comedy, but in all of entertainment,” said Casey Patterson, executive producer and executive vice president of event production at MTV Networks. “Having this award as part of our show sets the precedent of the premiere film, television and comedic talent that The Comedy Awards will honor each year and is fitting with Johnny’s legacy and love of the comedy community.”

It has yet to be announced just who the first recipient of the award will be. The recipient may be named at the awards show itself. You will have to tune in April 10 to find out.
