“We’re back. 2022. Hopefully it’s gonna be the full show,” Noah said. “Everybody’s gonna be there, we’re excited to celebrate a record night.”
Talking about his decision to host after taking on the difficult task of MCing the socially distanced 63rd annual show earlier this year, Noah remarked, “I realized how important it is for me on the night, like as a host I serve so many purposes. If I’m not there, who lifts Kevin Hart into his seat?”
He joked, “I give Jay-Z emotional support, he’s very nervous.”
