Trevor Noah to Host Final Grammys, Marking End of an Era for CBS Broadcast
Comedian and former “Daily Show” host Trevor Noah is set to emcee the Grammy Awards for the sixth and final time this year, CBS announced Tuesday. Noah has been a consistent presence at the helm of music’s biggest night since 2021, and his upcoming appearance will cap off a memorable run.
Executive producer Ben Winston lauded Noah’s contributions, stating, “I am beyond thrilled to welcome Trevor Noah back to host the Grammys for his sixth, and sadly, final time.” Winston further praised Noah as “the most phenomenal host,” highlighting his intelligence, humor, and genuine appreciation for the artists and music.
“His impact on the show has been truly spectacular, and we can’t wait to do it together one last time,” Winston added in a statement to the Hollywood Reporter. The Grammys’ official Instagram account echoed the sentiment, celebrating Noah’s “generational run.”
The 68th Grammy Awards will take place at L.A.’s Crypto.com Arena on February 1st, broadcasting live on CBS and streaming on Paramount+ beginning at 5 p.m. PT.
This year’s ceremony holds additional significance as it will be the last to air on CBS, which has been the awards show’s home network since 1973. Following this broadcast, the Grammys will embark on a new 10-year partnership with Disney, with future ceremonies airing on ABC, Hulu, and Disney+ starting in 2027.
Kendrick Lamar leads the 2026 Grammy nominations with an impressive nine nods, including Album of the Year and Record of the Year. Lady Gaga, along with producers Cirkut and Jack Antonoff, follow with seven nominations each. Adding a personal touch to the evening, Trevor Noah himself is also nominated for a Grammy Award for his audio narration of his children’s book, “Into the Uncut Grass.”
