South African Emmy winning comedian Trevor Noah is set to return as host of the 2025 Grammy awards for the 5th consecutive time. Trevor will also serve as a producer on the show.
This year’s Grammys are set to be hosted in Los Angeles on 2 February at the Crypto.com arena.
The 67th annual Grammy awards will return with 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 announcement.
Grammy Week has also been abbreviated and will focus on the MusiCares benefit, the Clive Davis Pre-Grammy Gala (which has become a fire-relief fundraiser) and the show itself.
In an interview with Variety days before last year’s show, Noah was asked what the most nerve-wracking aspect of the job is for him . “I know this sounds like a weird thing to say, but you don’t want to disappoint the artists that you love,” he reploed. “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.”
