Former “Daily Show” host Trevor Noah returns as emcee for the 65th Annual Grammy Awards this February.
The announcement marks the third time in a row that the Emmy Award-winning comedian will host the festivities, a distinction also held by rapper and actor LL Cool J.
The ceremony will air live on CBS from Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles on February 5. It will also stream live and on demand on Paramount+.
Beyoncé leads the 2023 Grammy Awards with nine nominations, including Record of the Year, Song of the Year and Best Dance/Electronic Recording for “Break My Soul.”
Close behind is Kendrick Lamar with eight nominations, Adele and Brandi Carlile with seven nominations, and Harry Styles, Mary J. Blige, Future, DJ Khaled, The-Dream and mastering engineer Randy Merrill with six nominations each.
The Grammys will be produced by Fulwell 73 Productions for the Recording Academy. Ben Winston, Jesse Collins and Raj Kapoor serve as executive producers, with Kapoor also serving as executive producer. Noah will also act as a producer.
Before hosting the biggest night in music, Noah will embark on his Off the Record world tour in January, with shows planned in 28 cities across the US, Europe and his native South Africa.
