The 7 Sharpest Trevor Noah Jokes From the Grammys
Trevor Noah can probably host the Grammys in his sleep at this point. He did the job for the fifth time last night, doubling as a nominee for Best Comedy Album. (For the third year in a row, Grammy voters handed the trophy to Dave Chappelle, who seems incapable of offending this particular crowd.) While the hosting job might be old hat for Noah, recent political developments gave an edge to his jokes that might have been missing from Kendrick Lamar/Drake punchlines.
Here are 7 of Noah’s sharpest bits from last night’s Grammy Awards…
Fifth and Last Hosting Job?
Don't Miss
“I don’t know if you know this — there’s been a few changes in Washington, so I’m going to enjoy tonight because it may be my last time I get to host anything in this country.”
Put Those Trophies on ICE
“We’re going to be honoring the best in music as voted on by the 13,000 members of the Recording Academy, and 20 million illegal immigrants.”
(Nick) Cannon Fodder
“Welcome to music’s biggest night. What the Super Bowl is to the NFL, what Valentine’s Day is to romance, what Father’s Day is to Nick Cannon, that’s what the Grammys is to music.”
Tour of Duty
“Yesterday, Beyonce announced her new tour. I will say though, Beyonce, there’s tariffs. We cannot afford a new tour. Maple syrup is about to be $50.”
Lady Gaga’s Prescient
“We have Lady Gaga in the house. She’s going to be performing tonight, and she just announced her new album Mayhem, dropping next month. I don’t know how you knew the theme of 2025 when you named your album.”
Taylor Made
“If Taylor Swift wins, she could become the first artist ever to win Album of the Year five times. Which means she would break the record of four wins set all the way back in 2024 by Taylor Swift. I’m just going to say, Taylor, if you break Taylor’s record, you know the Swifties are going to come for you. You don’t want to mess with them, man — they’re like an army of Kendrick Lamars.”
Hips Don’t Lie
“Three-time Grammy winner Shakira is in the house. The greatest thing out of Colombia that isn’t a felony.”
