Trevor Noah will host the upcoming Grammy Awards for the sixth year in a row, CBS confirmed Tuesday morning, though executive producer Ben Winston confirmed this would be the comedian’s last time hosting the ceremony.
“I am beyond thrilled to welcome Trevor Noah back to host the Grammys for his sixth, and sadly, final time,” Winston said in a statement Tuesday. “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.”
Along with this being Noah’s last Grammys, 2026 also marks the last time the show will air on CBS after a decades-long partnership, with the ceremony moving over to ABC and Disney+ next year. Disney will get the Grammys through 2036.
Noah hosted the Grammys for the first time in 2021, taking over for Alicia Keys, who hosted the 2019 and 2020 shows. He deftly led the 2021 ceremony in challenging conditions amid the COVID-19 pandemic, with that show implementing enhanced safety precautions to avoid the spread of the virus including social distancing and the use of multiple stages. He hosted every show since then, including last year’s ceremony, which took place just after the devastating Palisades and Eaton wildfires.
The 68th Grammy Awards will take place at Crypto.com Arena on on Feb. 1, and the show will air starting at 5 p.m. PT on CBS and Paramount+. Among this year’s top nominees in the major categories are Lady Gaga, Bad Bunny, Kendrick Lamar, Sabrina Carpenter, Billie Eilish, Rosé and Doechii. Performers for the show will likely be announced within in the coming weeks.
