Noah jabs Trump over Epstein island comments
2 Feb
Summary
- Noah's final Grammys hosting gig featured a joke about Trump.
- The joke linked Trump's desire for Greenland to Epstein.
- Trump claimed a falling out with Epstein over poaching staff.
As Trevor Noah hosted the Grammy Awards for what he announced would be his last time, he delivered a quip directed at former President Donald Trump. The joke occurred after Billie Eilish accepted the Song of the Year award, with Noah comparing Trump's interest in Greenland to his purported need for a new island following Jeffrey Epstein's demise, and a connection to Bill Clinton.
Noah, who has helmed the awards show for six years, has generally kept his hosting material light on political commentary. Meanwhile, Trump has previously addressed his relationship with Epstein, stating in 2025 that their interactions ended due to Epstein poaching employees from his Mar-a-Lago spa. Recently, a substantial release of Epstein's files, exceeding 3 million documents, became public.
