Trevor Noah will be back for one last go-round as host of the Grammy Awards, CBS said Tuesday. The Emmy-winning, and Grammy-nominated comedian will return for his sixth and final time as host and also will serve as executive producer for the February 1 ceremony in Los Angeles.

Noah began hosting the Grammys in a corporate synergy move while he was the host of The Daily Show on CBS’ Paramount sibling Comedy Central. He continued to serve as host and executive producer after leaving The Daily Show in December 2022.

2026 will be the last time the Grammy Awards will air on CBS, where it has aired every year since 1973. Beginning next year, the show moves to ABC as part of the Grammys’ 10-year deal with Disney, which was announced last year. The Grammys will air on ABC, Hulu and Disney+ from 2027, taking it through to 2036.

“I am beyond thrilled to welcome Trevor Noah back to host the Grammys for his sixth, and sadly, final time,” said Grammys executive producer Ben Winston in a statement. “He’s been the most phenomenal host of the show. He’s so smart, so funny, and such a true fan of the artists and music. His impact on the show has been truly spectacular, and we can’t wait to do it together one last time.” 

The Grammy Awards will air live from L.A.’s Crypto.com Arena at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. ET on Sunday, February 1, on CBS and stream live and on-demand on Paramount+.

A winner of 22 career Grammys, Kendrick Lamar leads the 2026 nominations with nine, including Record, Song and Album of the Year. Lady Gaga received seven noms for her album Mayhem, followed by Sabrina Carpenter and Bad Bunny with six, all nominated as well in the major categories.

In Record of the Year, Bad Bunny, Gaga, Carpenter and Lamar will compete against Doechii’s “Anxiety,” Billie Eilish’s “Wildflower,” Chappell Roan‘s “The Subway” and Rosé and Bruno Mars’ “APT.”

The 68th Grammy Awards will be produced by Winston’s Fulwell Entertainment for The Recording Academy. Winston, Raj Kapoor, Jesse Collins and Noah are executive producers.
