From 1959 to 1967 it was Best Comedy Performance
From 1968 to 1991 it was known as Best Comedy Recording
From 1994 to 1993 it was awarded as Best Comedy Album
In 1994 the award was restricted to spoken word comedy albums and moved into the "spoken" field. It is now awarded as the Grammy Award for Best Spoken Comedy Album.
