Trevor Noah to host Grammys for the sixth and final time

NEW YORK (AP):

Trevor Noah will be hosting the Grammy Awards for the sixth consecutive year, but this time, it’s being billed as a farewell gig.

The Recording Academy announced Tuesday that the South African comedian is returning “one final time” for the February 1 show, for which he will also serve as an executive producer. Only singer Andy Williams, who hosted the Grammys seven times in the 1970s, has hosted more often.

Noah himself is a four-time Grammy nominee, and is up this year in the Best Audio Book, Narration, and Storytelling recording category for Into The Uncut Grass, a children’s story.

Kendrick Lamar, Lady Gaga and Jack Antonoff are among the leading nominees for the 68th annual Grammys, to air live on CBS and Paramount+ from the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.
