Trevor Noah is set to host the 2021 Grammys, it was announced today.
The Daily Show host will emcee the music awards ceremony, which is set to air on CBS on Sunday, Jan. 31 at 8 p.m.
“Despite the fact that I am extremely disappointed that the Grammys have refused to have me sing or be nominated for best pop album, I am thrilled to be hosting this auspicious event,” Noah said in a statement. “I think as a one-time Grammy nominee, I am the best person to provide a shoulder to all the amazing artists who do not win on the night because I too know the pain of not winning the award! (This is a metaphorical shoulder, I’m not trying to catch Corona). See you at the 63rd Grammys!”
Recording Academy chair and interim president/CEO Harvey Mason, Jr. added, “With a knack for keeping viewers engaged and entertained, Trevor is the perfect choice to lead us through what’s sure to be an incredible evening full of music, unforgettable moments, unity and inspiration. He is a dynamic host, comedian and personality, and we’re thrilled to welcome him to the Grammy stage as host of music’s biggest night for the first time.”
Due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic it remains to be seen what January’s Grammys will look like. Recent awards shows like the BET Awards, Emmys, Video Music Awards, Billboard Music Awards, People’s Choice Awards and American Music Awards have featured a mix of live, pre-taped and virtual elements.
