Noah, who is usually breezy onstage, seemed to rush through his jokes Sunday, muddling many of his punchlines and making the monologue’s anti-Trump theme a bit unclear — especially in a joke involving undocumented immigrants and another about Colombian pop star Shakira.Noah’s first flub came only seconds into the opener while he explained to viewers how the Grammys work.
“We’re going to be honoring the best in music as voted on by the 13,000 members of the Recording Academy and 20 million illegal immigrants,” he cracked.came off as insensitive. Some were also confused why Noah, who is a South African immigrant, would tell this kind of joke. It's actually worrying that Doechii either didn't grasp Trevor Noah's criticism of xenophobic Republican propaganda, or didn't agree with said criticism being made. But okayThe joke is that that Republicans claim millions of illegals vote in federal elections. He’s making fun of them by saying they also voted for the Grammys
I think he’s making fun of those on the right who claimed biden got the presidency because of “illegal voters.” But like… the joke did not land at all.“Three-time Grammy winner Shakira is in the house, everybody! The greatest thing out of Colombia that isn’t a Class-A felony,” Noah joked.People felt this joke relied too much on negative and unfair stereotypes about the South American country at a time when Latino immigrants are being vilified for political gain..
