Santa Monica, CA–The Recording Academy has announced “The Daily Show” host and Grammy-nominated comedian Trevor Noah as host of the 63rd Grammy Awards on Jan. 31. This will be the first time Noah will host music’s biggest night.

“Despite the fact that I am extremely disappointed that the Grammys have refused to have me sing or be nominated for Best Pop Album, I am thrilled to be hosting this auspicious event,” Noah said in a statement. “I think as a one-time Grammy nominee, I am the best person to provide a shoulder to all the amazing artists who do not win on the night because I too know the pain of not winning the award! (This is a metaphorical shoulder, I’m not trying to catch Corona). See you at the 63rd Grammys!”

The 63rd Grammy Awards will air on Sunday, Jan. 31 at 8 p.m. on CBS,
