<p>Noah also reflected on the event marking <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/611016-trevor-noah-to-host-grammys-for-third-year-in-a-row" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">his third time as host</a>.</p>



<p>“Every year, I notice that I develop a different rapport with the people in the room,&#8221; he further said. &#8220;That opens you up to a few more jokes and a few more conversations in a way where people understand the context of who you are in relations to them. It means you get to have a little bit of fun without anybody feeling like you’re dunking on them.”</p>



<p>The former host of <em>The Daily Show</em> also noted that he&#8217;s excited to see the performers at the ceremony. They include Bad Bunny, <a href="/profile/MaryJBlige" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Mary J.
