Grammys host Trevor Noah kicked off Sunday’s show with plenty of lighthearted quips about music’s biggest stars — and an allusion to Will Smith’s infamous Oscars outburst.
After an electric performance from Anderson .Paak and Bruno Mars of Silk Sonic at Las Vegas’ MGM Grand Garden Arena, the comedian delivered an opening monologue peppered with material name-checking everyone from Olivia Rodrigo to BTS.
“This is a party,” Noah said while meandering through the audience. “Everyone’s hanging out. ... We’re in Vegas. ... People are doing shots. I mean, last year people were doing shots, but it was more Moderna and Pfizer. This time we’re back in the mix.”
