Trevo Noah Sends Subtle Message to Trump in Final Grammys Hosting Turn.
MLN Feb. 2, 2026: Comedian Trevor Noah appeared to send a pointed message to Donald Trump during his opening monologue at the 68th Annual Grammy Awards in Los Angeles, marking his sixth and final time hosting the music industry’s biggest night.
Noah, 41, joked about his tenure and used the moment to underscore his belief in political norms. “I’ve loved my time, but I believe in term limits. I wanted to set an example for anyone who might be watching the show. Leave when your time is up,” he said during the broadcast Sunday night, according to coverage of the event.
The remark was widely read as a veiled reference to Trump, who has faced controversy over his pursuit of extended political influence and repeatedly questioned norms around presidential term limits.
Noah’s comments came amid a night filled with high-profile performances and several jokes targeting public figures, including Trump and rapper Nicki Minaj, who was absent from the ceremony. Noah quipped that Minaj was “still at the White House with Donald Trump discussing very important issues,” a line that drew laughter from the audience.
Sunday’s ceremony also included several political undertones, with winners and performers addressing social issues, but Noah’s term limits message stood out as a direct nod to national political discourse.
Noah’s final turn as host capped a notable run; he was announced earlier in the week as returning “one final time” after five previous ceremonies in the role.
