Did Bo Burnham win a Grammy award? All about the comedian amid Cryptic TikTok posts hinting new special since ‘Inside’

Yes, Bo Burnham won his first Grammy at the 64th Annual Grammy Awards for the Best Song Written For Visual Media — 'All Eyes on Me' from his critically acclaimed 2021 Netflix special, Inside. Although his win was not televised, it was celebrated during the Grammy Awards Premiere Ceremony, which streamed live on YouTube.

Burnham, who has a reputation for shying away from the spotlight, didn’t attend the Grammy ceremony, just as he was notably absent when he won three Emmy Awards for Inside in 2021.

Those honors included Outstanding Music Direction, Outstanding Writing for a Variety Special, and Outstanding Directing for a Variety Special, solidifying Inside as a groundbreaking work in comedy and music.

As reported by The Focus, Bo Burnham opted for a cozy Grammy night at home, spending time with his comedian friend Jerrod Carmichael. In a now-deleted Instagram account, Burnham had shared a clip of pre-show host LeVar Burton (Reading Rainbow) accepting the award on his behalf, punctuated by a celebratory party popper emoji.

Holding a prop Grammy, Burton quipped, 'Bo’s not here, y’all,' which sent the Promising Young Woman actor and his friend Jerrod into fits of laughter.

Bo Burnham’s Inside offered a deeply introspective exploration of his personal relationship with the technology and culture that propelled him to fame. The special delved into themes of isolation and identity, particularly as shaped by social media, earning critical acclaim and winning three Emmy Awards, including Outstanding Writing and Outstanding Direction for a Special.

Is Bo Burnham planning another special?

As reported by Dexerto, recently, Bo Burnham has sparked fan speculation thanks to mysterious activity on TikTok. An account called @destroyarasaka has been posting clips of Burnham’s performances and music, amassing over 239,000 followers. Its cryptic bio, 'Stay, outside,' along with a countdown related to a potential TikTok ban in the U.S., has fueled rumors that Burnham might be teasing a new project.

However, fans on Reddit have pointed out inconsistencies, including claims that the account used to be a fan page for the game Cyberpunk 2077. The TikTok clips are largely recycled content, featuring footage from The Inside Outtakes and tracks from the deluxe vinyl edition of Inside. Attempts to confirm whether the account is run by Burnham have been unsuccessful, leaving fans divided on its authenticity.

Though the TikTok mystery remains unsolved, fans of Burnham can look forward to his upcoming appearance on Sesame Street, premiering on January 16. For now, Inside remains his most recent official project, continuing to stream on Netflix and resonate with audiences worldwide.
