Trevor Noah is set to host the 67th Annual Grammy Awards for the fifth consecutive year, continuing his streak as one of the most celebrated masters of ceremonies in recent Grammy history. The event will air live on February 2 from the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, running from 8 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. ET on CBS.
This year’s ceremony holds special significance as it aims to support wildfire relief efforts following the devastating fires that have swept across California. In a joint statement, the Recording Academy and CBS emphasized the event’s renewed purpose: “The 67th Annual GRAMMY Awards will raise additional funds to support wildfire relief efforts and honor the bravery and dedication of first responders who risk their lives to protect ours.”
The wildfires have led to the postponement of several major events, including The Weeknd’s Rose Bowl performance and the Critics’ Choice Awards. However, the Recording Academy has chosen to push forward, highlighting resilience and unity in the face of tragedy.
Noah, known for his sharp wit and approachable humor, has become synonymous with the Grammys since he first hosted the show in 2021. The South African comedian, author, and former host of The Daily Show has consistently brought a mix of levity and thoughtfulness to the stage. His hosting style, which leans more towards playful commentary than biting satire, will be tested this year against a backdrop of political and social change.
The 2025 Grammys mark one of the first major Hollywood award shows to take place during President Donald Trump’s second term. Historically, award shows have served as platforms for celebrities to express political opinions, particularly against Trump. However, there is speculation that this year may take a more subdued approach.
With Noah at the helm and a star-studded lineup of performances and nominees, the night is expected to strike a balance between entertainment, advocacy, and acknowledgment of the challenges shaping the current cultural landscape. All eyes will be on Noah to see how he navigates these dynamics while keeping the audience engaged and entertained.
