"So I need to caution everybody, remain in your seats and keep your hands to yourselves. All right?" Burton introduced Bargatze as a comic who is "selling out shows across America with clean family-friendly comedy and reaching another milestone today with a nomination for best comedy album." Further referencing Will Smith striking Chris Rock at the Oscars a week ago, Bargatze

said, "They said comedians have to wear these now at award shows during the joke parts. It doesn't even cover your face, I think it just focuses where you would hit me. All right, this is stupid, I'll take it off." GRAMMYs 2022: John Legend Performs His Song ‘Free’ At The 64th Annual Grammy Awards With Ukrainian Artists (View Pics And Video).
