Trevor Noah has made it in Hollywood but that doesn't mean he forgot his friends back home. The South African comedian hosted the Grammy Awards recently and he sent a shoutout to Anele Mdoda.

Moments after Beyoncé made history by becoming the female artist with the most Grammy wins, Noah mentioned Anele.

He said:

"Give it up for Beyonce. This is history. She did it Aneeeezy!"

Aneezy is Noah's nickname for Anele. The 947 Breakfast host made sure that those who missed the shoutout relived in. She posted a clip on her Twitter account and wrote:

Noah hosted the 63rd annual Grammy Awards held on Sunday, 14 March. This was the first time that the host of The Daily Show took on the role of presenting the world’s most prestigious music event. His debut was a big success, if reactions online are anything to go by.

During his monologue, Noah cracked a few jokes and concluded by saying:

“Tonight, we’re hoping that this is all about what 2021 can be, full of joy, new beginnings and coming together — never forgetting what happened in 2020, but full of hope for what is to come.”
