Trevor Noah To Host 63rd Grammy Awards
• The Recording Academy® and CBS announced comedian Trevor Noah, host of Comedy Central’s Emmy Award-winning The Daily Show will host the 63rd Annual GRAMMY Awards on Sunday, Jan. 31, 2021. “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,” said Noah. “I think as a one-time GRAMMY® nominee, I’m 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!”
Harvey Mason, Jr., Chair & Interim President/CEO of the Recording Academy, commented, “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’s 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.” George Cheeks, Pres./CEO of CBS Entertainment Group, remarked, “Trevor’s comedy talents, engaging energy and unique perspective make him the perfect host for the GRAMMYs. At the same time, it’s very exciting to have one of our biggest ViacomCBS stars center stage for one of CBS’ marquee events. 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.”
The 63rd Annual GRAMMY Awards will be broadcast Sunday, Jan. 31, 2021 at 8pm ET/5pm PT on the CBS, and the GRAMMY Awards Premiere Ceremony® will be streamed live on GRAMMY.com at 3pm ET/noon PT. [Photo by Gavin Bond]
