Emmy-winning comedian Trevor Noah will once again take on the role of host for the 67th Annual Grammy Awards, marking his fifth consecutive year as master of ceremonies. In addition to hosting, Noah will also serve as a producer for the event.
As previously confirmed, the 67th Grammy Awards will air on CBS on February 2 at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. This year, the broadcast will have a “renewed sense of purpose: raising additional funds to support wildfire relief efforts and honoring the bravery and dedication of first responders who risk their lives to protect ours,” according to last week’s statement. Grammy Week has also been shortened and will focus on the MusiCares benefit, the Clive Davis Pre-Grammy Gala (which is now a fire-relief fundraiser), and the awards show itself.
The ceremony will be broadcast live on CBS and will be available for live streaming and on-demand viewing on Paramount+.
In an interview with Variety just before last year’s show, Noah was asked what aspect of hosting the show made him the most nervous. “I know this sounds like a weird thing to say, but you don’t want to disappoint the artists that you love,” he said. “Like, I cannot imagine what it would be like to tell a joke and turn and see Beyonce going [shakes his head and scowls]. Because that would mean whenever I listened to Beyonce’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.”
