South African comedian and writer, Trevor Noah to host the 2024 Grammy Awards session. Check out the announcement post below.
The comedian announced the news on his Spotify podcast What Now? With Trevor Noah early on Thursday (Dec. 14). “I’m hosting the Grammys. I’m excited about that, yeah,” he said on the podcast. “It’s a lot of fun. I enjoy the Grammys because I get to watch the show in person and then experience and comment on it in person while it’s happening.”
Noah is only the fifth Grammy host who was nominated that same year. And he could become just the second Grammy host to win a Grammy during a show he or she hosted. The first was Kenny Rogers, who won Best Country Vocal Performance, male for “The Gambler” on the 1980 telecast.
This will be the fourth consecutive Grammy telecast that Noah has hosted. As we learned when the nominations were announced on Nov. 10, Noah is also a current Grammy nominee for Best Comedy Album for I Wish You Would.
Noah, 40, is best known for hosting Comedy Central’s The Daily Show from 2015-22. He won a Primetime Emmy in 2017 for hosting a spin-off show, The Daily Show – Behind the Scenes, which was voted outstanding short-form variety series.
