Khaberni - The famous South African comedian Trevor Noah returns to the Grammy Awards stage in 2026, in an appearance officially described as his "last" as the host of the biggest music night in the world, thereby putting a final touch on a series of successful hosting stints that have solidified his presence at one of the most prominent global artistic events.
The Recording Academy and "CBS" Network confirmed that Noah will host the Grammy Awards ceremony in 2026, scheduled to take place on Sunday, February 1st, in his sixth consecutive appearance, thus concluding a successful journey that has left a clear mark on the history of the ceremony, according to the "Tribune" site.
In addition to hosting the evening, Noah will continue his role as the executive producer for the broadcast, as the event takes place at the "Crypto.com Arena" in Los Angeles and will be broadcast live on the "CBS" channel from 8:00 PM to 11:30 PM Eastern Time, with streaming available live and on-demand on the "Paramount+" platform depending on the subscription type.
Trevor Noah began his journey with the Grammys in 2021, in one of the most exceptional editions due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and since then, he has become a familiar and beloved face to the audience, thanks to his ability to balance clever satire with respect for the artists and the music industry.
The coolest host of the ceremony

The 2026 Grammy ceremony will carry another historic significance, as it will be the last year that the awards are broadcast on the "CBS" network, which has hosted the event since 1973.
Starting the following year, the Grammy broadcast will move to Disney platforms under a new ten-year deal announced in 2024.
