Who is hosting the Grammys?

This year’s Grammy Awards will be hosted by comedian, television presenter and actor Trevor Noah for the third year in a row. Noah who recently left his role as host of The Daily Show described hosting the awards show as “juggling flaming swords”.

Speaking to the Grammys he said: “Just putting it all together, combining different genres, getting the musicians in sync with each other and the audience, keeping the audience in tune with what’s happening. One of my favourite things about the GRAMMYs as a whole is it is one of the few places where you get to experience artists in their rawest element, which is performing their music live … there’s nothing like it. You develop a deep appreciation for what these people are doing beyond just the music that they make.”

Other presenters will include Cardi B, Viola Davis, Dwanye Johnson, Olivia Rodrigo and James Corden. Whilst viewers will be kept entertained with performances from stars including Harry Styles, Lizzo, Sam Smith and Mary J. Blige.
