Grammys host Trevor Noah opens the show with 'Will Smith smack' joke

As the Grammy 2022 began, host Trevor Noah walked on stage and addressed the audience with a joke about Will Smith's sensational altercation with Chris Rock at the Oscars 2022 when Smith slapped Rock for taking a dig at Jada Pinkett Smith's baldness.

While referring to the incident, Trevor Noah cracked a joke by asking the audience not to think of it as an award show and added that it was just a concert where they will be giving out awards, listening to music, dancing, singing, keeping people’s names out of our mouths.

"Don’t even think of this as an award show. It’s a concert where we are giving out awards, we will be listening to music, dancing, sing, keeping people’s names out of our mouths and we are going to give people awards all throughout the night. So let’s get straight into it,” he stated. 

Grammys 2022 has so far announced names of some big winners including Chris Stapleton winning the Best Country Album for 'Starting Over', Silk Sonic's Christopher Brody Brown, Dernst Emile II & Bruno Mars received the Grammy for Song Of The Year (A Songwriter(s)Award), and more.
