Throwing down largely gentle barbs, Noah joked at the outset of the 68th annual awards show that America's drinking game was now "every time we turn on the news, we drink." "So many stars in this room, I feel like I'm at Jeff Bezos wedding - but with way more Black people," Noah said. "The last time Lauryn Hill performed at the Grammys was in 1999 - back in 1999 the president had a sex scandal, people thought computers were going to destroy the world, and Diddy was arrested," Noah said. "Boy how times have changed!"

My personal favorite thing that Justin Bieber has done over the past year is he told Apple to move the dictation button on the keyboard - hero. Justin, now I just need you to tell them to make a new feature where when you search on your phone, it finds things." "Nicki Minaj is not here," said Noah, a four-time Grammy nominee himself. "She is still at the White House with Donald Trump discussing very important issues." Noah then launched into a Trump impression: "Actually, Nicki, I have the biggest ass. I have it. Everybody is saying it, Nicki. I know this is you, but it's me. Look at it baby: WAP, WAP, WAP." "Doechii is in the house," he continued. "Her hit record, 'Anxiety,' which is now our new national anthem." "Olivia Dean is also here, nominated for best new artist," Noah said. "You should be nominated for the most amazing and thoughtful artist because she fought Ticketmaster to stop resellers from ripping fans off - which is amazing, because if the fans can't afford tickets, we can't have live music, and without concerts, how would we find out which CEOs are having affairs on the Jumbotron?" This marks the former Daily Show host's sixth consecutive (and final) time hosting music's biggest night. Previously, Grammys executive producer Ben Winston issued a statement to The Hollywood Reporter about bringing Noah back: "I am beyond thrilled to welcome Trevor Noah back to host the Grammys for his sixth, and sadly, final time. He's been the most phenomenal host of the show. He's so smart, so funny and such a true fan of the artists and music. His impact on the show has been truly spectacular, and we can't wait to do it together one last time." A total of 95 awards are being presented in two Grammy ceremonies, starting with the Premiere Ceremony, which was held earlier Sunday. Here's a full list of winners across both ceremonies.
