Trevor Noah To Host 2021 Grammy AwardsTrevor Noah, “The Daily Show” host and comedian, has been announced as the host for 2021 Grammy Awards.

Recording Academy, organizers of the award ceremony, made the announcement few hours before the nominees for the upcoming show are revealed.

Noah in a statement stated;

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.

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!

He was nominated last year for his stand-up special ‘Trevor Noah: Son of Patricia for Best Comedy Album’, which he lost to Dave Chapelle.

Harvey Mason jr., chair and interim president/CEO of the Recording Academy, said;

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.

Trevor’s comedy talents, engaging energy and unique perspective make him the perfect host for the Grammys.

With Trevor hosting and ‘The Late Late Show’s’ Ben Winston producing, it’s yet another example of our combined company’s power in music, entertainment, and the biggest live events.
