As the age-old adage goes, don’t mess with success. The Grammy Awards aren’t, bringing Trevor Noah back as host in 2024.

Noah shared the news Wednesday night on his podcast “What Now? With Trevor Noah.”

For those keeping count, the 66th Grammys will mark his fourth consecutive year of hosting duties.

SZA heads into the 2024 ceremony with a leading nine nominations. “Kill Bill,” her revenge anthem cloaked in an R&B ballad, earned her nods for record of the year, song of the year, and best R&B performance. “SOS” is also up for album of the year and best progressive R&B album.

The 2024 ceremony is the second time SZA has been nominated for record, album, and song in the same year.

Phoebe Bridgers has the second-most nominations, with seven. Six of those are with her band boygenius. Taylor Swift, Olivia Rodrigo, Miley Cyrus, Billie Eilish, Brandy Clark, Jon Batiste and producer Jack Antonoff also earned six.

The 2024 Grammy Awards will air Feb. 4 live on CBS and Paramount+ from the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.

From Yoda's cane to Clint Eastwood's duster coat in "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly", hundreds of items will go under the hammer next month in a sale of movie and television memorabilia.

Entertainment memorabilia auctioneer Propstore is selling more than 1,800 items at its annual live auction, which this year runs from Nov. 14 to 17, and which it estimates could fetch more than 10 million pounds ($13.1 million).

Items worn or used by some of Hollywood's biggest names are up for grabs, with plenty of lots from some of cinema's biggest franchises including the James Bond and Harry Potter films.

Leading the sale is a Sandtrooper helmet from the "Move Along" scene in "Star Wars: A New Hope", which has a price estimate of 250,000 pounds to 500,000 pounds ($326,900 to$654,000).

"It's an incredibly rare artifact," Propstore founder and Chief Executive Stephen Lane told Reuters.

The Yoda cane being sold was used in both "The Empire Strikes Back" and "Return of the Jedi", Propstore said.

An array of costumes are being sold, including Michael Keaton's Batsuit from "Batman Returns", a suit worn by Daniel Craig in Bond film "Skyfall" and the 2015 resizing jacket Michael J. Fox's character Marty McFly wore in "Back to the Future Part II".

Eastwood's duster coat from "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" is also among the lots.

"The duster is a synonymous attire for most Western films," Lane said. "This is deemed to be one of the best Western films, perhaps of all time and Clint Eastwood costume pieces from those films virtually never, ever turn up," Lane said.

Other highlights include Russell Crowe's Maximus arena helmet and mask from "Gladiator", the ghostface mask worn by Henry Winkler as principal Arthur Himbry in "Scream" and a dress worn by Elizabeth Taylor in "Cleopatra".
