Trevor Noah Hosting Grammys for the 6th Time—But There’s a Catch

by

It’s the final curtain call for Trevor Noah.

Trevor Noah, known from The Daily Show, will host the Grammy Awards again in 2026 on CBS. This will be his sixth time hosting the show, but he has announced it will be his final time as host.

Grammy executive producer Ben Winston announced that Trevor Noah will return to host the show for the sixth and final time. In a statement to The Hollywood Reporter on January 13th, Winston praised Noah as an exceptional host, highlighting his intelligence, humor, and genuine love for music and the artists who create it.

Okay, seriously, Ben just gets it. He said Trevor’s performance was ‘truly spectacular,’ and honestly, it WAS! But the best part? He said they can’t wait to do it all again, one last time! It just… it means everything. They have such a connection, and knowing this might be the last time they share a stage together? I’m not okay, but I’m SO excited!

Trevor’s rep declined to comment on the matter when reached by TopMob News.

At 41, the host is preparing to step down after this year’s show, which features Lady Gaga and Kendrick Lamar as the top nominees with nine nominations each. He recently explained why hosting the celebrated event has always felt like having exclusive access to everything behind the scenes.

He told Billboard in 2022 that he’s a huge fan of the Grammys, and always discovers new artists while watching. He explained that people often underestimate the incredible amount of effort that goes into each performance – from hitting every note perfectly to coordinating lighting and choreography with the artists and cameras. Seeing all that work firsthand, he says, makes him appreciate the show even more.

Trevor Noah has enjoyed being a host, but he’s also admitted the job has been incredibly stressful.

In a 2024 interview with Gayle King on CBS Mornings, he admitted he wasn’t sure what to expect, adding that he appreciates the Grammys because they’re live and unpredictable.

The Grammys are almost here! Read on to find out how this year’s nominees felt about being recognized for their music.

Ariana Grande received two Grammy nominations – Best Pop Solo Performance and Record of the Year for her song “The Subway.” She simply thanked the Recording Academy on her Instagram Story on November 7th.

Leon Thomas expressed his gratitude in an Instagram post on November 7th, thanking God, his team, collaborators, producers, family, friends, and especially his fans for their support. He wrote that he couldn’t have achieved this without them, and shared that he has a performance tonight and plans to keep working hard on his next album.

Timothée celebrated being nominated for Best Compilation Soundtrack for Visual Media – for his work on ‘A Complete Unknown’ – by sharing the news with his followers on Instagram on November 7th, along with the message, “Dream Big.”

Grammy nominee Sombr (also known as Shane Michael Boose) expressed his shock and gratitude in an Instagram post on November 6th. He thanked the Recording Academy and everyone who voted for him, saying he was proud to be recognized alongside so many artists he admires.

The 20-year-old went on to reflect on how the last year changed his life. 

Music has always been a huge part of my life, and it’s truly transformed me. A year ago, I was 19, really struggling with depression, and didn’t know what to do. I wrote all of these songs by myself, in my bedroom. Now, looking back, I’m incredibly grateful for everyone who supported me and encouraged me to keep creating.

The singer, known for his song “Back to Friends,” also expressed his deep love and appreciation for his fans. He explained that their support is what motivates him, even when he’s struggling. Seeing the positive impact his music has on them is incredibly meaningful to him, and he thanked them sincerely from the bottom of his heart.

The K-Pop Demon Hunters were thrilled when their song “Golden” was nominated for Song of the Year.

“I’m not able to digest this time,” Ejae told Variety in a statement. “I’m still in shock.”

Rei Ami added, “This feels out of this world.”

Meanwhile, Audrey Nuna was floored by the representation that came with their nomination. 

She explained that viewers would see three Korean actors. The thought of children watching and being inspired by that representation – imagining what they themselves could achieve – was incredibly moving for her.

Kelsea excitedly shared on Instagram on November 6th that her album, Patterns, had been nominated for a Grammy in the Best Contemporary Country Album category.

When Addison Rae found out she was nominated for Best New Artist, she shared her reaction with fans through four selfies.

After receiving his first Grammy nomination for Best New Artist, the singer of “Ordinary” shared a video showing his reaction. He was visibly shocked and then started to cry with his wife, Kouvr Annon, as his friends celebrated with confetti. He captioned the video with a heartfelt message to his parents: “Mom and Dad, I know you’re watching. I miss you.”

Following a Best Rap Album and Album of the Year nomination for Clipse’s Let God Sort Em Out (shared with his brother Malice), he reacted on Instagram by reposting several prayer hand emojis.
