  "account": "The 2026 Ghana Comedy Awards ceremony took place on Saturday, August 1, 2026, at the College of Physicians and Surgeons at Ridge, Accra. Hosted by Entertainment Journalist Kwame Dadzie, the event recognized the best comic radio show of the year. Among the five nominated programs, Joy FM’s popular Saturday morning show, Weekend City Show, emerged victorious. This award highlights the program's distinctive combination of humor, entertainment, and engaging discussions that have captivated listeners throughout Ghana. Over the years, Weekend City Show has maintained its light-hearted tone, presenting comedy, trending topics, and interactive audience participation. The show's unique feature includes two comic characters, Langabel and Rubbin, who seemingly have an answer for every question but expose their lack of knowledge instead. Joseph Langabel and Rubbin Adarkwa received the award on the red carpet, along with Kofi Hayford, the show’s host. Kofi Hayford expressed gratitude to the organizers and dedicated the award to the show’s listeners, production team, and Joy FM management. This achievement further solidifies Weekend City Show's status as one of Ghana's most entertaining radio programs and reinforces Joy FM’s dedication to providing high-quality content to its nationwide audience. The show airs on Joy FM every Saturday from 7am to 8am and is also available for live streaming on Joy FM’s Facebook page.",
