“I think it's also important for us to be able to take a break from everything" - Noah
Award-winning comedian from South Africa and host of The Daily Show on Comedy Central, Trevor Noah is set to host the 64th Grammy Awards.
Ahead of the event, he bares his mind on the impact that the mega awards can have on the world crisis.
Although the Grammy Awards is a festive vibe celebrating music’s best, Noah says the show may touch on some serious topics such as the ongoing crisis in Ukraine.
“I think the show is going to find the right place and the right space to do something," said the Emmy winner, who will host the April 3 show in Las Vegas.
“It's one of those interesting balances in life we try to achieve, which is acknowledging what’s happening in the world whilst allowing yourself the grace to celebrate some of the moments that are also going on," he said.
Noah said most of his show's coverage has focused on Ukraine, so he's looking forward to an entertaining night at the Grammys — a place where world issues can be acknowledged as well.
“I think it's also important for us to be able to take a break from everything.
“That's the ultimate quandary we face. Is it important to highlight issues around the world? Definitely. It's also important to celebrate things that are happening in the world.”
Noah returns for his second hosting stint at the Grammys, which airs live on CBS and Paramount+.
