The Recording Academy has announced that comedian Trevor Noah will return as host of the 67th Annual Grammy Awards in 2025. This is Noah’s fifth year in charge of the prestigious music awards ceremony.
Trevor Noah’s Legacy as Grammy Host
Trevor Noah, known for his sharp wit and charisma, first hosted the Grammys in 2021 and has since become an essential part of the event. Known for his breakout role as the host of Comedy Central’s The Daily Show, Noah has earned two Emmy Awards and is regarded as one of the most skilled emcees in the industry. In a previous interview with Gayle King on CBS Mornings, Noah discussed the challenges and exhilaration of hosting a live show.
“I don’t know what’s going to happen,” he said, highlighting the improvisational nature of the Grammys. “That’s what I love about the Grammys—it’s live; it’s happening; it’s on the fly.”
The 2025 Grammys Amid Wildfire Devastation
Despite the recent devastating wildfires that have ravaged large parts of Los Angeles, the ceremony scheduled for Sunday, February 2 will go on as planned. The blazes have caused the loss of homes for thousands of residents, including music community members. The Recording Academy has decided to make the event a platform for relief efforts. CBS emphasized its renewed mission to raise funds for wildfire relief and honor the bravery of first responders in a statement. “The 67th Annual GRAMMY Awards will carry 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,” the network announced.
