Trevor Noah is getting ready for one last unforgettable night on music’s biggest stage.

As the 68th Annual Grammy Awards return this Sunday, February 1, 2026, the Emmy-winning comedian and former Daily Show host will officially step into the spotlight as host for the sixth and final time.

While Noah has become a familiar face at the Grammys over the last several years, this year’s ceremony carries extra significance. It marks the end of an era for a host who has brought warmth, sharp humour, and a global edge to one of entertainment’s most prestigious nights.

Since taking over hosting duties in 2021, Trevor Noah has helped redefine the tone of the Grammy Awards. His ability to balance comedy with meaningful cultural commentary has made him one of the most celebrated hosts in recent Grammy history. Whether he’s delivering witty one-liners or spotlighting artists from around the world, Noah’s presence has given the ceremony a refreshing modern energy.

The Recording Academy confirmed earlier this month that the South African-born star would return for one final hosting gig, setting the stage for what is expected to be a heartfelt farewell filled with laughs, memorable moments, and perhaps a few surprises.

This year’s Grammys will once again take place at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, drawing the biggest names in music for a night of performances, awards, and celebration.

For African viewers, the 2026 ceremony is particularly exciting. The Best African Music Performance category returns for its third year, continuing the Academy’s growing recognition of African sounds on the global stage.

The category features a strong lineup of nominees, including Burna Boy (“Love”), Davido featuring Omah Lay (“With You”), Ayra Starr featuring Wizkid (“Gimme Dat”), South Africa’s Tyla (“PUSH 2 START”), and Uganda’s Eddy Kenzo (“Hope & Love”). Burna Boy is also nominated in the Best Global Music Album category, adding even more anticipation for fans across the continent.

Beyond the awards, the night promises a star-studded performance roster, with major pop icons and special collaborations expected to light up the Grammy stage.

With the ceremony just days away, Trevor Noah’s final appearance as host feels like a full-circle moment not just for him, but for audiences who have watched him bring charm and global flair to the Grammys year after year.

All eyes will be on Noah as he takes his final bow and signs off from a role he has truly made his own.
