Flaunt Weeekly The comedian and former ‘Daily Show’ host has helmed music’s biggest night every year since 2021
Trevor Noahwill return as host for the 67thGrammy Awardswhich take place next month.
The stand-up and formerDaily Showhosthas becomeareliable stewardof “music’s biggest night,” bringing to the occasion his comedic chops, as well as adeep love and enthusiasmfor music. He first hosted the Grammys in 2021 and has returned every year since.
Speaking withVarietylast year, Noah spoke about one of the biggest challenges of hosting the Grammys, especially compared to any other show: “I know this sounds like a weird thing to say, but you don’t want to disappoint the artists that you love. 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.”
The 2025 Grammy Awards will take place Feb. 2, airing live from theCrypto.comArena in Los Angeles. While the main show is stillscheduled to go ahead as plannedthe Recording Academyhas canceled several Grammy week eventsbecause of the ongoingPalisades and Eaton wildfires.

(And though not under the Recording Academy’s umbrella, the majorFireAid benefit concertis set to take place in L.A. a few days before the Grammys on Jan. 30.)
