The Grammys 2021 will air live from Los Angeles on March 14 on CBS at 8 pm EST or 5 pm PST. Sunday’s award show will be simultaneously telecasted on both the East and West Coast, unlike the recent Harry and Meghan Markle interview.

The host of The Daily Show and one-time Grammy nominee, Trevor Noah will be emceeing the grand event. Announcing his contribution to one of the biggest nights in the music world, Trevor tweeted in November (yes! In 2020), “In a year that most human beings would love to forget, there has been one constant force that has brought us together - Music. I’m truly honoured to be hosting The #GRAMMYs, a night celebrating all of our favourite artists who’ve helped keep us sane while we’re all stuck indoors!”
