Acclaimed South African Comedian, Trevor Noah, will host the 63rd Grammy Awards on 31 January, 2021, in the USA.

“Despite the fact that I am extremely disappointed that the Grammys have refused to have me sing or be nominated for best pop album, I am thrilled to be hosting this auspicious event,” Noah said in a statement received by PANA.

Noah recently celebrated five years presenting The Daily Show in New York.

Born in Johannesburg in 1984, Noah has received various accolades, including a Prime Time Emmy Award.

He was named one of “The 35 Most Powerful People in New York Media” by The Hollywood Reporter in 2017 and 2018.

In 2018, TIME magazine named him one of the 100 most influential people in the world.
