In Trevor Noah\u2019s final opening monologue at the Grammys, the joke that got the loudest laugh in the room was directed at Nicki Minaj\u2019s MAGA alliance.<\/p>\n
After six consecutive years of hosting the Grammys, the comedian is stepping down from the emcee role. Last year, Noah\u2019s monologue<\/a> was focused on the resilience of Los Angeles and paid tribute to the victims of the Palisades and Eaton fires<\/a>. This year, he poked fun at attending celebrities and commented on the country\u2019s political climate.<\/p>\n When he addressed the fact that Nicki Minaj was not in attendance, the audience applauded in response. He joked that \u201cshe is still at the White House with Donald Trump discussing very important issues: \u2018Actually, Nicki, I have the biggest ass, I have it. Everybody\u2019s saying it, Nicki, I know they say it\u2019s you, but it\u2019s me. WAP, WAP, WAP. Look at it, baby,\u2019\u201d Noah said in his best Trump impression. <\/p>\n Last week, Minaj appeared at a U.S. Treasury event, where she stood on stage with President Trump and said, \u201cI am probably the president\u2019s No. 1 fan, and that\u2019s not going to change.\u201d<\/p>\n While detailing what the night ahead entails, Noah compared this year\u2019s Grammys to the 1999 ceremony.<\/p>\n \u201cThe last time Lauryn Hill performed at the Grammys was in 1999,\u201d said Noah. \u201cBack in 1999 the president had a sex scandal, people thought computers were about to destroy the world and Diddy was arrested. Boy, how times have changed.\u201d<\/p>\n Noah also poked fun at Jelly Roll, asking if he was able to unlock fellow face-tatted singer Teddy Swims\u2019 phone. He also mentioned that the arena stuffed with A-listers felt somewhat like billionaire Jeff Bezos\u2019 wedding, \u201cbut with way more Black people.\u201d<\/p>\n In addition to it being Noah\u2019s final hosting gig, this year\u2019s ceremony is also the last to air on CBS, its home network since 1973. After tonight, it kicks off a 10-year run with Disney. The Grammys will air on ABC, Hulu and Disney+ beginning in 2027.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In Trevor Noah\u2019s final opening monologue at the Grammys, the joke that got the loudest laugh in the…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":559982,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5123],"tags":[1582,276,47732,244625,5810,11660,93597,244626,2961,26822,13940,224,2444,5337,244627,5531,17466,1807,181253,244628],"class_list":{"0":"post-559981","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-los-angeles","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-california","10":"tag-ceremony","11":"tag-consecutive-year","12":"tag-eaton-fire","13":"tag-fun","14":"tag-grammys","15":"tag-grammys-monologue","16":"tag-la","17":"tag-last-week","18":"tag-last-year","19":"tag-los-angeles","20":"tag-los-angeles-times","21":"tag-losangeles","22":"tag-maga-tie","23":"tag-nicki-minaj","24":"tag-palisades","25":"tag-president-trump","26":"tag-trevor-noah","27":"tag-wap"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115998724224128246","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/559981","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=559981"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/559981\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/559982"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=559981"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=559981"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=559981"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
