Trevor Noah Isn't Missing Nicki Minaj at the Grammys
"Trevor Noah won't be back to host the Grammys next year, so for his sixth and final time as MC, the comedian continued his run of delivering monologues while wandering around the crowd, gushing over the artists in attendance, and telling inoffensive, crowd-pleasing jokes. But the most memorable moment from his 2026 monologue was when he broke from his formula to rag on music's newest conservative talking-head grifter."
""Nicki Minaj is not here. She's still at the White House with Donald Trump discussing very important issues," Noah said to huge cheers from the audience before launching into his signature Trump impression. "Actually, Nicki, I have the biggest ass! Everybody's saying it. I know they say it's you, but it's me." It was one of a couple political jokes the host made, including his opener,"
Trevor Noah won't be back to host the Grammys next year and delivered his sixth and final monologue as MC. He wandered the crowd, gushed about attending artists, and told inoffensive, crowd-pleasing jokes. The standout moment came when he broke from his usual formula to mock a conservative music commentator, saying Nicki Minaj was at the White House with Donald Trump and impersonating Trump. He also joked about the drinking-game in Bruno Mars and Rose's nominated song, quipping that in America people drink whenever they turn on the news. He scored laughs with light jabs at Jelly Roll, Teddy Swims, and Pharrell. The monologue was competent and a fitting finale.
