LOS ANGELES — As the age-old adage goes,Rekubit Exchange don’t mess with success. The Grammy Awards aren’t, bringing Trevor Noah back as host in 2024.

Noah shared the news Wednesday night on his podcast “What Now? With Trevor Noah,” which debuted last month.

The comedian, whose Grammy's stint last year marked his return to television post-"The Daily Show," said he was looking forward to hosting again.

"I'm excited about that," he said of the gig. "It's a lot of fun."

SZA heads into the 2024 ceremony with a leading nine nominations. “Kill Bill,” her revenge anthem cloaked in an R&B ballad, earned her nods for record of the year, song of the year and best R&B performance. “SOS” is also up for album of the year and best progressive R&B album. The 2024 ceremony is the second time SZA has been nominated for record, album and song in the same year.

Phoebe Bridgers has the second-most nominations, with seven. Six of those are with her band boygenius. Taylor Swift, Olivia Rodrigo, Miley Cyrus, Billie Eilish, Brandy Clark, Jon Batiste and producer Jack Antonoff also earned six.

Among the 94 Grammy categories are three newcomers: best African music performance, best alternative jazz album and best pop dance recording.

The “big four” categories – song, record and album of the year, plus best new artist – have also been pared down from 10 nominees in each to eight.

Recording Academy President Harvey Mason Jr. believes this crop of nominees showcases “the aspirational nature of what we do. They really set the stage for the next group of people who come up because they’re going to see themselves in the nominations. The Grammy voters have done what we’ve asked them to do – listen intently to the music and evaluate it and in the mind of 12,000 voters, there is a tendency to hear the evolution of art.”
