Emmy Award-winning comedian Trevor Noah is set to host the 2023 Grammy Awards, taking the helm for the third time.

"I don't think it's normal to host it once, so I don't have a great frame of reference for this," he told Billboard.

 "It is thrilling. For me, it's a cheat code because I'm a fan of almost all the people who are there,".

This will mark Noah's first time hosting in Los Angeles; the previous shows he emceed were held in New York City and Las Vegas. This year's show will take place on Feb. 5 at the Crypto.com Arena.

"I am 1,000% a fan, and what I love about the Grammys is that I become a fan of a new artist every single time," he added.

"I come in and then I meet this new artist, and all of a sudden, here I am going, 'Who are the Black Pumas?' It introduces you to music that you maybe wouldn't have been [exposed to]."

The outlet also reported that Noah joins LL Cool J as the only other person to ever host the Grammys for three consecutive times in the last 30 years.

Leading the nominations this year is Beyoncé, whose album "Renaissance" helped her earn nine nods — tying her with husband JAY-Z for most-nominated artist of all time, with 88 apiece.

The "Break My Soul" singer, 41, is up for some of the night's most coveted prizes, including the record of the year, the album of the year, and song of the year.

Kendrick Lamar followed with eight nominations, while Adele and Brandi Carlile earned seven each. Mary J. Blige, DJ Khaled, Future, The-Dream, Randy Merrill, and Harry Styles each received six nods.
