Did you notice during the opening (when they announce the names of the guests and "featuring Jon Batiste") that Jon had a Grammy in his left hand? (I'm pretty sure it was added digitally.)

I hope he stays for a long time. Questlove has been with Jimmy Fallon forever, and he's in a similar situation, as an Oscar and Grammy winner. Maybe having a steady gig in a house band gives them the freedom to do more creative projects. 🤞

Jon Batiste won Album of the Year! Plus (at least) 4 more Grammys!

If it isn't, I'll bet it will be soon.

I liked the musical performance, but I wish they had showed the screen instead of the performers. I don't have a 60 inch TV and it was hard to read the names!

I think I heard someone mention that it might be August before the Olympic team medals are awarded! The Russians should be banned as a team, period. If any can PROVE they are clean, they should compete on a team like they have in the summer Olympics for athletes who don't have a home country. (And Eteri should be banned for causing injuries to her athletes as well as doping them. Bah.)

I'm ashamed to say at first I was hoping Loena would fall apart (because I wanted 2 Americans on the podium), but I must say at the end of her skate I had changed my mind; that was beautiful! I'm glad they changed the technical score box back to showing the base value and GOE.

I just remembered - when we were teenagers, we would get moonshine from a guy at the local funeral home. Maybe that's why I don't think they're creepy. 😄

They hardly showed her after the stretcher and medics went on the floor. Maybe that's a European thing, to be discreet about showing someone who's injured.

Well, I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks tearing down a perfectly good building and Dan building a new house is a stupid stupid STUPID idea! For $500 a month, I would move into that house in a heartbeat!

I'm glad Barbara and her daughter made up. Taylor reminds me of my niece; she went to a top-tier university and now has a job marketing for a liquor company. When she started school, we were hoping for pre-med. However - and maybe this is something Barbara realizes now - it's a great job that is teaching her a lot about business and marketing, she gets to travel (while she's young), she's making great money, and she's meeting a lot of people. AND... it suits her. Honestly, although I was hoping we'd get a doctor in the family, we're just happy she has a great job she loves and is able to save money for the future. ☺️

At least on CBS (Colbert) it's due to "March Madness", the annual college basketball tournament. I think Trevor is going to be off for several weeks.

I thought the Gemma subplot was dumb and could have been eliminated. I'm glad Claire found out about her cheating husband, and I loved that she smashed the windshield! (I'm not ok with that generally but it's ok on a TV show. And the reactions of Calvin's staff were hilarious!)

I know members of the Academy get 2 tickets. Gregory Walcott, whose main claim to fame was staring in "Plan 9 from Outer Space" but was a reliable studio actor during the 50s-60s, always took one of his children or grandchildren. ( I met him a couple times; he was a really sweet guy.)

Kanye West will not be performing at the Grammys: https://variety.com/2022/music/news/kanye-west-grammys-concerning-online-behavior-1235209759/

I do not like the new guy - he's a jerk. But when he popped up in the bed at the end of the episode, all of a sudden, he was cute. Acting!

Seth was interviewed by NPR's "Fresh Air" - it aired today: https://www.npr.org/2022/03/14/1086029237/late-night-host-seth-meyers

My dad had a stent in 2018, and at that point they were going through the arm. (But groin is funnier.) I wonder if they will address changes to diet and the new meds he will be on - for both gout and blood thinners. I hate it when a character has something major happen to them and the next week it's business as usual.

I am grateful they ended the "Raj can't talk around women" bit. That was annoying.

According to this article, Jane plays her as 85: https://www.distractify.com/p/how-old-is-jane-seymour-on-b-positive

The show is awful; I watch because of the great cast. Where else will I see Jane Seymour play a 80 year old sex kitten?

I watched for several hours last night. I saw a guy with one leg alpine skiing, and it was the one of the most amazing things I've ever seen! This morning on NPR they had a guy commenting on the ban. They said the Paralympic committee changed their stand to ban Russian and Belarus athletes because of pressure from both national Paralympic committees and athletes. They actually said they were worried about conflicts between athletes in the village! I also heard during the opening ceremony that the head of the Paralympic committee spoke against the Russian invasion (did not mention Russia by name), and the Chinese television stations censored that part of the speech. Ukraine ended the first day at the top of the medal count!

Hair grows back; I'm surprised that as a hairdresser Vanessa was so closed minded about it. At her age, Hazel should be able to get the haircut she wants.

I love it when Stephen gets into his LOTR geek mode. When Andy Sirkis did his "Gollum" voice - Stephen's face was pure nerd joy.
