James Corden slipped a Donald Trump dig into his Grammys opener
You didn't think we'd get through the Grammys opener without at least one shot at the current president, did you?
The first dig of the night — surely more will come — came courtesy of host James Corden.
"Live it on up, because this is the best/And with President Trump, we don't know what comes next," he rapped to huge applause.

Elsewhere in Corden's opener: A stair-lift fake-out.
We'll admit it— for a few seconds, we were pretty sure Corden's Grammys hosting gig was off to a rough start.
Ahead of Corden's opening monologue, the platform lifting him up to the stage stopped mid-way, forcing him to climb the rest of the way.

But then he did this over-the-top stair roll, and our concerns promptly vanished.
You had us for a second though, Corden.
