Queen Latifah’s the host with the most.
The rap pioneer turned Oscar-nominated actress turned jazz vocalist has been tapped to host the 47th annual Grammy Awards, the Recording Academy announced Thursday.
The 34-year-old multimedia star becomes the first solo Grammy host since Jon Stewart held down emcee duties at 2002’s ceremony. The past two years have featured celebrity presenters and artists handing out trophies or throwing to perfomers.
Latifah, on the other hand, will be a one-woman band. Aside from hosting, she will also perform a selection from her latest release, The Dana Owens Album, which happens to be up for Best Jazz Vocal Album. Source

I think Latifah is an inspired choice and she should do a fine job (the host just has to keep the show moving while being charming…and a little witty…and methinks she’s up for that.)
