Bo Burnham's Inside album could earn him a Grammy nomination for best new artist

Billboard

Burnham could become the first comedian to earn a best new artist Grammy nomination since Robin Williams in 1978. In fact, only five comedians have been nominated for best new artist in Grammy history. Other than Williams, all the other comedians were nominated in the early 1960s, including Bob Newhart in 1960 and Dick Gregory in 1961.
