Trevor Noah has confirmed that he will return to the 65th Grammy Awards in February in the coveted position of the award show's host.
This will be the 38-year-old comedian's third consecutive year as the show's host, joining LL Cool J as the only people who have hosted the award show three times in the last 30 years.
"I don't think it's normal to host it once, so I don't have a great frame of reference for this," he told Billboard. "It is thrilling. For me, it's a cheat code because I'm a fan of almost all the people who are there."
His third time hosting will see the award show move to Los Angeles, the two previous Grammy awards he's been involved with were held in New York City and Los Angeles.
"I am 1,000% a fan, and what I love about the Grammys is that I become a fan of a new artist every single time," the comedian said. "I come in and then I meet this new artist, and all of a sudden, here I am going, 'Who are the Black Pumas?' It introduces you to music that you maybe wouldn't have been [exposed to]."
Trevor Noah recently made headlines with his emotional final speech at The Daily Show where he thanked his fans and the black women who shaped his life.
He began his exit speech: "I’m grateful to you every single one of you. I remember when we started the show, we couldn’t get enough people to fill an audience.
"Then I look at this now and I don’t take it for granted ever. Every seat that has ever been filled to watch something I’m doing is always appreciated because I know the empty seat that sits behind it.
"Thank you to people who watch, the people who share the clips, everyone who’s had an opinion, everyone who’s been kind enough and gracious enough, even if it’s a critique."
He rounded out his final speech by bringing attention to the black women in his life who he insists shaped him.
He said: "I’ve often been credited with having these grand ideas. Who do you think teaches me, who do you think has shaped me, nourished me, informed me?
"From my mom, my gran, my aunts, all these black women in my life but then in America as well. I always tell people if you truly want to learn about America, talk to Black women.
"Because unlike everybody else Black women can’t afford to f*** around and find out. Black people understand how hard it is when things go bad."
Name-checking the likes of Bad Feminist author Roxane Gay and MeToo founder Tarana Burke, he added: "I’m grateful to them, I’m grateful to you. This has been an honour."
