LL Cool J to Host 2016 Grammys
He's back! LL Cool J has been tapped to host the 2016 Grammy Awards. This will be his fifth consecutive year hosting the awards show.
Although this isn't the two-time Grammy winner's first time hosting the awards show, he's still honored to have the opportunity to do it again.
"The performances and moments that take place on the Grammy stage are awesome in so many ways for the audience and artists alike," LL Cool J said in a statement.
"I'm honored once again to host Music's Biggest Night as we celebrate the talented music creators of today. It's going to be an incredible night and I'm excited to share this experience with the world."
In recent years, "NCIS: LA" star has become the go-to host for events and shows. Overall, LL Cool J has hosted more than 10 Grammy shows, tributes and live specials. The 47-year-old has even served as a producer for both "The Grammy Nominations Concert Live! - Countdown To Music's Biggest Night" and the "A Very Grammy Christmas" holiday special. The entertainer is also set to return to his hosting post at Spike TV's "Lip Sync Battle" when it returns for its second season on Jan. 7.
"We are delighted to welcome back the very talented LL Cool J as our host for the 58th Grammys," Recording Academy president/CEO Neil Portnow said in statement on the Grammys' official website.
"His unique expertise, both as a Grammy-winning recording artist and accomplished actor, allows him to connect with both his musical peers and the fans at home, and his dynamic personality and charismatic energy set the perfect tone for our show."
The 58th Grammy Awards will take place at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. The show will air live on CBS on Monday, Feb. 15, 2016, at 8 p.m ET.
