The Grammy Awards have announced that Trevor Noah will be returning as the host for the fifth consecutive time. The popular comedian, known for his role as the host of Comedy Central's 'The Daily Show' from 2015 to 2022, will once again take the stage on February 2nd at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles for the live broadcast of the awards show on CBS. This year's telecast will also serve as a platform to raise funds to support relief efforts following the devastating wildfires that impacted the Grammys' hometown.
Over the past three telecasts, the Grammy Awards have seen an increase in ratings, with the 2024 ceremony attracting 16.9 million viewers, marking the highest TV audience since 2020. Trevor Noah, known for his witty humor, entertained the audience last year with jokes about various topics, including Taylor Swift, Travis Kelce, TikTok, and Universal Music Group.
Notably, Trevor Noah will not only be hosting but also serving as a producer at the event. Additionally, he has received a nomination for the best comedy album for 'Where Was I.' This nomination follows his previous nomination in the same category last year for 'I Wish You Would.'
Among the nominees, Beyoncé leads the pack with the most nods. Her album 'Cowboy Carter' is nominated for album and country album of the year, while 'Texas Hold ’Em' is in the running for record, song, and country song of the year. Post Malone follows closely behind Beyoncé with seven nominations, sharing the spot with Billie Eilish, Kendrick Lamar, and Charli XCX, who received her first solo artist nominations.
It is worth noting that only a few individuals have hosted five or more Grammy telecasts, with Trevor Noah joining the ranks alongside musical artists like Andy Williams, John Denver, and LL Cool J. The upcoming Grammy Awards promise an exciting evening filled with entertainment and recognition of outstanding musical achievements.
