Trevor Noah to host 2025 Grammy Awards—fifth year in row
What's the story
Comedian and former The Daily Show host Trevor Noah will return as the host of the 2025 Grammy Awards, marking his fifth consecutive year in the role.
The announcement comes less than two weeks before the ceremony, much later than Noah's usual hosting confirmations.
With this stint, Noah joins an exclusive club of Grammy hosts with five or more appearances, including Andy Williams (seven times), John Denver (six times), and LL Cool J (five times).

Ceremony details
2025 Grammy Awards to proceed amid wildfire crisis
The 2025 Grammy Awards will take place on February 2, airing live from Los Angeles's Crypto.com Arena.
The ceremony will be broadcast on CBS Television Network and streamed on Paramount+.
Although wildfires have significantly devastated the area, the show will not just honor music but also help raise money for relief efforts.
"We mourn the loss of life and destruction that have come to our city in recent days," Harvey Mason Jr., CEO of the Recording Academy, said earlier.
