A South African comedian will be hosting the 63rd Grammy Awards for the first time in the history of music’s biggest night.
Trevor Noah, a South African comedian and host of the ‘Daily Show’ will coordinate the Grammy Awards on stage in January.
Ahead of the nominees announcement on November, 24, Trevor Noah said in a statement after he was announced by Recording Academy.
“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,” Noah said in a statement. “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!“.
However, in their announcement, the Recording said they “can’t think of a better person to serve as Master of Ceremonies for Music’s Biggest Night“.
We’re thrilled to welcome @TheDailyShow host, Emmy-winner, and GRAMMY-nominee @TrevorNoah as the host of the 63rd #GRAMMYs!
