I can\u2019t speak for Bill, but I have never been to Epstein Island, nor anywhere close, and until tonight\u2019s false and defamatory, statement, have never been accused being there, not even by the Fake News Media.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"cuTeSSdDP\" style=\"display:none\">Trump appeared to threaten legal action against Noah if he doesn\u2019t retract the joke.<\/p>\n<p><img  alt=\"Noah's joke followed Billie Eilish winning Song of the Year, prompting applause from the audience.

Photo \/ Getty Images<\/p>\n<p class=\"cuTeSSdDP\" style=\"display:none\">He continued: \u201cNoah, a total loser, better get his facts straight, and get them straight fast.<\/p>\n<p class=\"cuTeSSdDP\" style=\"display:none\">\u201cIt looks like I\u2019ll be sending my lawyers to sue this poor, pathetic, talentless, dope of an MC, and suing him for plenty &#8230; [of money].<\/p>\n<p class=\"cuTeSSdDP\" style=\"display:none\">\u201cAsk Little George Slopadopolus [Stephanopoulos], and others, how that all worked out. Also ask CBS!

Congratulations, Billie Eilish. Wow. <\/p>\n<p class=\"cuTeSSdDP\" style=\"display:none\">\u201cThat\u2019s a Grammy that every artist wants \u2013 almost as much as Trump wants Greenland.<\/p>\n<p class=\"cuTeSSdDP\" style=\"display:none\">\u201cWhich makes sense because, since Epstein\u2019s gone, he needs a new island to hang out with Bill Clinton.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"cuTeSSdDP\" style=\"display:none\">Noah also made a joke about Nicki Minaj\u2019s recent show of support for the US President.<\/p>\n<p class=\"cuTeSSdDP\" style=\"display:none\">The comedian said: \u201cNicki Minaj is not here. She is not here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"cuTeSSdDP\" style=\"display:none\">Trevor\u2019s comment prompted applause from the crowd inside the arena. Chrissy Teigen \u2013 who attended the ceremony with John Legend, her husband \u2013 then gave Trevor a thumbs-up, seemingly in support of her absence.<\/p>\n<p class=\"cuTeSSdDP\" style=\"display:none\">The comedy star then added: \u201cShe is still at the White House with Donald Trump discussing very important issues.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"cuTeSSdDP\" style=\"display:none\">Trevor subsequently did an impression of the billionaire businessman, saying: \u201cActually Nicki, I have the biggest a**. I have it, everybody\u2019s saying it, Nicki.<\/p>\n<p class=\"cuTeSSdDP\" style=\"display:none\">\u201cI know they say it\u2019s you, but it\u2019s me WAP, WAP, WAP. Look at it, baby.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"cuTeSSdDP\" style=\"display:none\">Nicki recently described herself as Trump\u2019s \u201cNo 1 fan\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cWRONG!!!
