The awards were created by Bob Stivers, who produced the first show in 1975. The first awards recognized The Sting as Favorite Picture of 1974, Barbra Streisand as the year’s Favorite Film Actress, and John Wayne as its Favorite Film Actor. So far, Ellen DeGeneres is the most awarded person, with a total of 20 awards.
In 1982, Stivers sold the People’s Choice Awards to Procter & Gamble Productions (P&G); under P&G, the ceremony was broadcast by CBS, and Procter & Gamble’s brands held exclusive national advertising time across the entire telecast.
In April 2017, the E! network announced that they had acquired the People’s Choice Awards. The ceremony was shifted from its previous January scheduling to November, to reduce its proximity to the busier months of awards season. For 2021 and 2022, the ceremony was also simulcast by E!’s sister broadcast network NBC
