Can't wait for the big night? Luckily, you won't have to wait too much longer. Trevor Noah is returning to host the Grammys for a third time, and the show will air live on CBS and Paramount+ starting at 8 p.m. ET /5 p.m. PT. 

"This is the thing I try and tell people: You have to be a fan of the Grammys because you are invariably a fan of music," Noah said on a Jan. 19 episode of "The Late Show With Stephen Colbert." "And the thing I love about the Grammys selfishly is every time I go to the Grammys I discover a new artist that I didn't fully appreciate and I didn't love for the reasons that I should have."

He added, "You go to the Grammys, you know the artists you know. You'll know Beyoncé. You'll know Adele. You'll be like, 'Oh, OK, I know these people.' And then you'll discover artists who change your life. They perform live in ways that you couldn't have imagined."
