Trevor Noah is officially returning as host of the 67th annual Grammy Awards, marking his fifth consecutive year as the master of ceremonies for music’s most prestigious night. In addition to hosting, Noah will also serve as a producer for the star-studded event, which will air live on February 2, 2025, from the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.
This year’s Grammys will go beyond celebrating musical excellence, with a renewed focus on raising funds for wildfire relief efforts and honoring first responders who put their lives on the line to protect communities. The Recording Academy announced last week that Grammy Week has been shortened and will spotlight the MusiCares benefit, the Clive Davis Pre-Grammy Gala—reimagined this year as a fire-relief fundraiser—and the highly anticipated awards ceremony.
The live telecast will be available on the CBS Television Network and stream on Paramount+ for both live and on-demand viewing.
Noah, known for his sharp wit and thoughtful humor, has consistently brought an engaging presence to the Grammys stage. Reflecting on his role in a past interview with Variety, the comedian shared his biggest challenge when hosting the show: ensuring he doesn’t disappoint the artists he admires.
“I know this sounds like a weird thing to say, but you don’t want to disappoint the artists that you love,” Noah explained. “I cannot imagine what it would be like to tell a joke and turn and see Beyoncé going [shakes his head and scowls]. Because that would mean whenever I listened to Beyoncé’s music, I would forever have that image in my head.”
Noah’s dedication to delivering a memorable night for both the live audience and viewers at home has made him a fan-favorite host. “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,” he added.
