Noah revealed his return on an episode of his podcast, “What Now? with Trevor Noah,” per Variety. On the latest episode that dropped Wednesday night, Noah said, “I think it’s also important to acknowledge something. I’m hosting the Grammys.”

“I’m excited about that, yeah, it’s a lot of fun,” he added. “I enjoy the Grammys because I get to watch the show in person and then experience and comment on it in person while it is happening.”

The news of Noah’s hosting gig comes on the heels of Netflix dropping the trailer for his upcoming comedy special, “Trevor Noah: Where Was I,” which premieres Dec. 19 on the streamer. Check out the trailer for the special below:
