Trevor Noah to Host 2025 Grammy Awards, Where He Is Also a Nominee

Telecast date: Feb. 27, 1980

Grammy nods that year: 5 (album of the year for The Gambler; record of the year and best country vocal performance, male for “The Gambler”; best pop vocal performance, male for “She Believes in Me”; best country vocal performance by a duo or group for “All I Ever Need Is You,” a collab with Dottie West)

Grammy wins that year: 1 (best country vocal performance, male for “The Gambler”)

Notes: Rogers is the only person to be nominated in a “Big Four” category during a telecast he or she hosted. Rogers was up for both record and album of the year. He also teamed with Donna Summer to perform a medley of song of the year nominees.

Telecast date: Feb. 25, 1986

Grammy nods that year: 1 (best country performance by a duo or group with vocal for “Real Love,” a collab with Dolly Parton)

Grammy wins that year: none

Notes: These were the only two Grammy telecasts Rogers hosted. Rogers is the only Grammy host who was a nominee both times he or she hosted the show.

Telecast date: Feb. 25, 1981

Grammy nods that year: 2 (best pop vocal performance, male for “Late in the Evening”; album of original score written for a motion picture or a television special for One Trick Pony)

Grammy wins that year: none

Notes: This was the only Grammy telecast Simon hosted. Early in the show, he said drolly, “I am very happy to be here. It’s not only a great honor to be asked, but I think it’s a very nice career move as well.” Later, he performed the nominated “Late in the Evening.”

Telecast date: Feb. 28, 1984

Grammy nods that year: 1 (best recording for children for Rocky Mountain Holiday, a collab with The Muppets)

Grammy wins that year: none

Notes: Denver, hosting for the fifth time, skipped an opening monologue, instead promising “a show so hot it’s going to pop if we don’t get right into it.” He was right about that. This was the highest-rated Grammy telecast of all time, the one where a red-hot Michael Jackson became the first artist to win eight Grammys in one night. Denver teamed with Jerry Nelson (Floyd the Muppet) to perform “Gone Fishin,’” a track from their nominated children’s album. Denver hosted six Grammy telecasts in all. Only one Grammy host has equaled or bettered that mark: Andy Williams hosted the first seven telecasts.

Telecast Date: Feb. 13, 2005

Grammy nods that year: 1 (best jazz vocal album for The Dana Owens Album)

Grammy wins that year: none

Notes: This was the only Grammy telecast Queen Latifah hosted. She performed a medley of two songs from her nominated album, “Baby Get Lost” and the jazz standard “Lush Life.”

Telecast dates: Feb. 4, 2024; Feb. 2, 2025

Grammy nods that year: 1 each year (best comedy album for I Wish You Would; Where Was I)

Grammy wins that year: none; to be determined

Notes: Noah is the first comedian to host five times. Among comedians, Garry Shandling hosted four times, followed by Billy Crystal (three times). Four other comedy performers – James Corden, Ellen DeGeneres, Rosie O’Donnell and Jon Stewart (Noah’s predecessor as host of The Daily Show ) – each hosted twice.
