Bad Bunny Dominates Grammys Night as Trevor Noah's Hosting Struggles to Leave a Mark

The Hollywood Reporter’s Daniel Fienberg lauds Bad Bunny’s big night and message at the 68th Grammys, but says Trevor Noah’s hosting was warm yet forgettable, lacking a guiding through-line. The show delivered spectacular performances (Sabrina Carpenter, Tyler, the Creator, Bruno Mars, Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber) and a standout In Memoriam sequence, yet a few missteps—such as Cher’s awkward presenting moment and a finale that sagged—left the telecast ending on a lull rather than a peak. Overall, it was entertaining in the middle with passion and spectacle sustaining it, even if the wrap didn’t land as strongly as the middle sections.

Trump vs. Noah: Could a Grammys Joke Trigger a Defamation Case?

At the 67th Grammys, Trevor Noah referenced Donald Trump with Epstein jokes and Greenland quips, prompting Trump to threaten a lawsuit on Truth Social. Two legal experts say jokes are protected satire and not defamation, since they’re not presented as facts and would be hard to prove false or defamatory; winning such a case would be unlikely. Trump already has several other media lawsuits, but it’s unclear whether he’ll actually sue Noah. The episode underlines Trump’s pattern of press attacks and could have a chilling effect on comedians, though Noah appeared unfazed.
