South African comedian and former Daily Show host Trevor Noah is set to host the 2025 Grammy Awards, marking his fifth consecutive time at the helm of music’s most prestigious night. The ceremony will take place on February 2 at Los Angeles’ Crypto.com Arena and will air live on CBS.

Noah’s fifth stint as host puts him on par with LL Cool J, who has hosted the Grammys five times, and just two shy of the record held by Andy Williams, who hosted the event seven times. Known for his sharp wit and global perspective, Noah has brought a fresh energy to the awards since first hosting in 2021, an event that took place under strict COVID-19 protocols.

This year, the Grammys come in the wake of devastating wildfires that have ravaged Los Angeles. Despite the tragedy, the Recording Academy has chosen to move forward with the event. Recording Academy President Harvey Mason Jr. emphasized that the ceremony will not only celebrate musical excellence but also serve as a testament to the resilience of the Los Angeles community.Trevor Noah Returns to Host 2025 Grammy Awards for Fifth Consecutive Year

“This year’s show will honor the artistry and achievements of our music community while amplifying the spirit of resilience that defines Los Angeles,” Mason Jr. stated.

The 2025 Grammys are expected to showcase a diverse lineup of talent, with several African artists making waves among the nominees. Nigerian singer Tems and country-fusion sensation Shaboozey lead the pack of African nominees, highlighting the growing global influence of African music on the world stage.

Noah, who has become a hallmark of the Grammys with his effortless humor and ability to navigate sensitive moments, is once again expected to strike the perfect balance between celebration and reflection during this year’s ceremony. With the promise of memorable performances and a spirit of resilience at its core, the 2025 Grammys aim to be a night to remember.
