This marks the primary time the Latin Grammys could have had 4 or extra co-hosts for the reason that inaugural broadcast, in September 2000, which had 5 — Gloria Estefan, Jennifer Lopez, Andy Garcia, Jimmy Smits and Antonio Banderas.

As a substitute, 17 “Associates of Oscar” took turns introducing varied segments. However they’re weren’t actually co-hosts within the sense that we often use that time period. We centered right here on instances the place the hosts have been clearly recognized as such.
The exhibits with 5 or extra people internet hosting are listed in reverse chronological order:
