The One Show
The One Show is a global stage for creative excellence in advertising, design, and craft—celebrating ideas that shape culture and the people behind them. For more than 50 years, The One Show has honored work defined by imagination, execution, and impact, building a legacy that reflects the evolving language of creativity.
The awards ceremony is an elegant evening that begins with a cocktail reception and continues through a seated dinner hosted by a special guest and presentation of The One Show’s iconic Pencils, Crystal Pencils for our Best of Disciplines, Special Awards and "Of the Year" Awards. Winners take the stage, mark the moment, and close the night with after-dinner drinks in the company of peers and leaders from across the creative industry.
Leslie Jones
Leslie Jones returned to host The One Show 2026, bringing her bold, unfiltered energy back to the stage for the grand finale of Creative Week.
Leslie Jones spent six years as a cast member and writer for NBC’s Saturday Night Live, where she was twice nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award. She has also hosted the ABC game show Supermarket Sweep, headlined numerous comedy tours and festivals, and starred in films including the 2016 Ghostbusters. Her recent special, Life Part 2, streaming on Peacock, was the highest debut by a female comedian.
“I had such an incredible time hosting The One Show last year, I had to come back! There’s nothing like being on stage in a room full of the best and brightest minds in advertising—people who are shaping culture every single day. The energy, the creativity, the passion—it’s unmatched. I’m beyond excited to celebrate this industry, have some fun, and maybe roast a few folks along the way!”
