Trevor Noah is returning for the fourth time at the Grammys as a host and he recently shared his thoughts about hosting the event. It seems like there's an added pressure for him this year because this would be the first time that he's a nominee and the master of the ceremony all at once.
According to Billboard, the famed television personality is the fifth person to host the Grammy Awards and also a nominee in the same year. However, Kenny Rogers was the only person who successfully won his category in 1980.
This year, the event will be held at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, California, and performers include Dua Lipa, SZA, Olivia Rodrigo, and many more.
Noah, being the host this year, is nominated for the category of best comedy album for his "I Wish You Would" project.
