Emmy-winning comedian Trevor Noah will return as the master of ceremonies for the 67th annual Grammy Awards, marking his fifth consecutive year in the role. In addition to hosting, Noah will also serve as a producer for the event.
As previously announced, the 67th annual Grammy Awards will be broadcast on CBS on February 2, live from the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. This year’s ceremony will carry a “renewed sense of purpose,” with a focus on raising additional funds to support wildfire relief efforts and honoring the bravery and dedication of first responders who risk their lives to protect others, according to a statement made last week.
Grammy Week has been shortened this year and will center on the MusiCares benefit, the Clive Davis Pre-Grammy Gala (which has been transformed into a fire-relief fundraiser), and the awards show itself.
TV Host Trevor NoahThe show will air live on the CBS Television Network and will also be available for streaming live and on-demand via Paramount+.
In an interview just before last year’s ceremony, Noah was asked what he found to be the most nerve-wracking part of his job. “I know this sounds like a weird thing to say, but you don’t want to disappoint the artists that you love,” he replied. “Like, I cannot imagine what it would be like to tell a joke and turn and see Beyoncé going [shakes his head and scowls].
Because that would mean whenever I listened to Beyoncé’s music, I would forever have that image in my head. If you don’t do well for a live audience, OK, you’re gonna bounce back; if you don’t do well for a home audience, OK, some people are going to comment online. But to have the look of disappointment come from an icon or somebody that you really love — I do not wish for that experience. So I work twice as hard.”
