Africa-Press – Tanzania. <\/strong><\/span>Trevor Noah feels more comfortable hosting the Grammy Awards for a third-straight year, but the former \u201cThe Daily Show\u201d host still has some nervousness about leading the ceremony with big-time acts like Beyonce\u0301, Adele and Harry Styles looking on.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe nerves come in because you\u2019re standing in front of not just some of the best, but some of the biggest performers in the world,\u201d said the Emmy winner. Noah expects his diligent preparation to get him through Sunday’s show.<\/p>\n

\u201cNerves are part of what I do,\u201d the comedian said.<\/p>\n

Noah returns for his third hosting stint at the Grammys, which airs live from Crypto.com Arena on Sunday on CBS and Paramount+. The ceremony returns to Los Angeles after relocating to Las Vegas for the first-time ever because of rising COVID-19 cases and omicron variant.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was relieved Trevor came back because it makes my job more enjoyable and easier,\u201d said Ben Winston, the show’s executive producer. He called Noah an \u201cabsolute pro\u201d who he said can pivot gracefully at any moment on a night celebrating music\u2019s best.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe reassures me on a stressful night when a set hasn\u2019t been built in time and I say to his ear \u2018Sorry about that. I need you to go an extra 90 seconds because Lady Gaga\u2019s orchestra isn\u2019t in.\u2019 He\u2019ll just naturally flow, make a joke, get up and sit at somebody\u2019s table and chat with them,\u201d Winston said. \u201cThat\u2019s a very difficult task which very few people could do \u2014 and definitely can\u2019t do with his comedy and charm that Trevor has.\u201d<\/p>\n

Different experience<\/b><\/p>\n

Noah said each year of hosting the Grammys has offered a different experience because of the logistical challenges stemmed from the pandemic. But he said the intimate but socially-distanced in-person award show in 2021 helped him build a rapport with music stars \u2014 especially when telling his jokes.<\/p>\n

Last year\u2019s ceremony in Las Vegas was a hybrid model that included fans.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery year, I notice that I develop a different rapport with the people in the room,\u201d he said. \u201cThat opens you up to a few more jokes and a few more conversations in a way where people understand the context of who you are in relation to them. It means you get to have a little bit of fun without anybody feeling like you\u2019re dunking on them.\u201d<\/p>\n

As a music fan, Noah is looking forward to checking out the popular performers who will hit the stage including Bad Bunny, Mary J. Blige, Sam Smith, Lizzo, Steve Lacy and Brandi Carlile.<\/p>\n

Beyonce\u0301 heads into the ceremony with a leading nine nominations, including record and song of the year nods for her song \u201cBreak My Soul.\u201d Kendrick Lamar has the second-most nominations with eight, while Adele and Carlile enter the show with seven nods.<\/p>\n

Styles, Blige, Future, DJ Khaled, The-Dream and mastering engineer Randy Merrill each received six nominations.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe love having Trevor because he’s so darn good at it,\u201d said Harvey Mason jr, the CEO of the Recording Academy. \u201cHe is so personable, he\u2019s so funny. I don\u2019t know how he does what he does. He never stumbles, he never hesitates. He\u2019s always so earnest and heartfelt. He\u2019s also a music guy. You see him when he\u2019s not on camera. He\u2019s singing, he\u2019s dancing, he\u2019s rapping. I feel like he\u2019s one of us now.\u201d<\/p>\n
