Noah shared his approach to hosting with Billboard, saying that he'll "go wherever the jokes take" him.

"But I'm always aware that I am there in service of the show," he explained to the outlet. "This is not my show, nor do I try to pretend that it is. A good host is somebody who keeps the show moving in the right direction, makes sure that they bring the audience into what's happening, engages and entertains everybody who's in the room and really turns it into a party."

He added, "Everyone is there to have a good time. It's an awards show, but it's also one of the greatest concerts you'll ever get the opportunity to go to."

Who is nominated at the 2023 Grammys?

Beyoncé leads this year's nominations with nine nods thanks to her latest album, "Renaissance."
