Comedian and television host Trevor Noah sparked headlines during the 68th Grammy Awards with a joke referencing former President Donald Trump, former President Bill Clinton, and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein’s private island.
The comment came as part of Noah’s humor segments during the live broadcast, shortly after Billie Eilish won Song of the Year. The remark tied together Trump’s political history and Epstein’s notoriety, drawing laughter in the theatre and sparking discussion online.
The joke arrives amid renewed public interest in Epstein following the release of court documents detailing his criminal activities. While the reference was satirical, it quickly became a trending topic on social media.
Noah has not issued any further comment following the broadcast.
