Noah also recently spoke to PEOPLE about hishosting duties and what he’s learned over the years. “The first thing I’ve learned is that all your preparation is really just the parachute for what actually happens on the night because anything can happen, and every single year it somehow does,” he shared.

“I’ve also learned that because it’s a celebration of these musicians and what they’ve done, everyone is there to party and have a good time. So, as the host, I’m constantly navigating the room,” continued Noah.
