Hannah Einbinder, Nick Thune, John Leguizamo, and Samantha Bee were among the notable personalities who graced Variety's Power of Comedy Awards at SXSW in Austin, Texas. The event, now in its second year, saw attendees poking fun at the awards themselves, creating a light-hearted atmosphere.
Samantha Bee, honored with the Comedy Innovator award, humorously remarked on the industry's fickle nature, referencing the end of her TBS series. She highlighted the importance of celebrating women, especially in light of recent restrictive laws in Texas.
