LeVar Burton makes Will Smith slap joke at the Grammys pre-show, warns audience: ‘Our next presenter is a comedian... keep your hands to yourself’
Of all people, LeVar Burton should know how to read a room. While introducing a presenter at Sunday night’s Grammy Awards, Burton, who hosted the pre-show webcast, said, “Now, I want to warn you all that our next presenter is a comedian, if you know what I mean.” Scattered laughter implied that they did, indeed, know. “So I need to caution everybody: remain in your seats and keep your hands to yourselves.
” Introduced by Burton as a comic known for his “clean family-friendly comedy,” Nate Bargatze then walked out wearing a comically oversized helmet. “They said comedians have to wear these now at award shows during the joke part,” he said. “It doesn’t even cover your face. I think it just focuses where you would hit me.” The comedian then took the helmet off, saying it was “stupid,” and presented the award for Best Spoken Word Album.
