“I am beyond thrilled to welcome Trevor Noah back to host the Grammys for his sixth, and sadly, final time.” “He’s been the most phenomenal host of the show. He’s so smart, so funny, and such a true fan of the artists and music. His impact on the show has been truly spectacular, and we can’t wait to do it together one last time.”
