Comedian and television personality Trevor Noah will host the 67th annual Grammy Awards ceremony, marking his fifth straight year as the event’s emcee, the Recording Academy announced Tuesday.
The ceremony will be held Feb. 2 at Crypto.com Arena. The Recording Academy last week announced some scheduling changes to Grammy Week events, including cancellations of some gatherings, due to the impact of the Los Angeles-area wildfires.
The Academy also announced that the Feb. 2 Grammy ceremony would go on as planned, but it will double as a fundraising effort “to support wildfire relief efforts and honoring the bravery and dedication of first responders who risk their lives to protect ours.”
Previously, the Academy and its MusiCares charitable arm launched a relief program to support music creators and professionals impacted by the crisis, making a pledge of $1 million to begin the effort. As a result of additional contributions, the L.A. Fire Relief Effort has already distributed over $2 million in emergency aid to those most in need, the academy said in Monday’s letter.
The Recording Academy urged the public to donate to the L.A. Fire Relief Effort at donor.musicares.org/page/lafirerelief.
The Grammy Awards will air live on CBS, and will stream on Paramount+.
