The Recording Academy has faith in Trevor Noah. For the fourth consecutive year, the 39-year-old has been booked to host the Grammy Awards. Taking center stage during the 2024 ceremony, the stand-up comedian is also a producer of the show.

Noah revealed the news on his Spotify podcast, What Now? With Trevor Noah.

“I think it’s also important to acknowledge something, I’m hosting the Grammys,” Noah explained. “I’m excited about that, yeah, it’s a lot of fun. I enjoy the Grammys because I get to watch the show in person and then experience and comment on it in person while it is happening.”
