Trevor Noah brought up Epstein's list at the Grammy Awards on Sunday night, and couldn't help but criticize Hollywood's biggest smear campaign.
The comedian and former host of “The Daily Show” casually dropped the Epstein punchline, making the audience laugh uncomfortably at the reference. Noah returned after a short commercial break and greeted, “We're back at the Grammys with stars who aren't on Epstein's list.”

Some fans were quick to point out that Oprah and Epstein's relationship hasn't been fully cleared in the public eye, but she happened to be attending Sunday's Grammy Awards ceremony. (Related: Jay-Z brutally slams the Grammys while holding award)
