Trevor Noah is making history – as Grammys host for the sixth and final time.
The South African comedian and former host of The Daily Show has been the main presenter of the ceremony every year since 2021.
He is also nominated for a Grammy Award this year for his audio narration of his children’s book Into the Uncut Grass.
“I am beyond thrilled to welcome Trevor Noah back to host the Grammys for his sixth, and sadly, final time,” Grammys ceremony executive producer Ben Winston said in a statement.
“He’s so smart, so funny, and such a true fan of the artists and music,” the producer said. “He’s the most phenomenal host, and his impact on the show has been truly spectacular. We can’t wait to do it together one last time.”
On the Grammy official Instagram account, the caption reads: “It’s music’s BIGGEST night and he’s on a generational run.”
