It’s going to be one of those days, isn’t it?
After seeing “Jeffrey Epstein” trending because of a good at the Grammys, now it’s Bill Burr’s turn:
Bill Burr is trending so I'm assuming all the right people are mad about something.

The Grammys thought it would be a good idea, you see, to have Burr as one of the presenters:
Of course they have a comedian to announce (and pronounce) the classical categories. Remember your training, Bill Burr.

It did not go well:
Can someone please get Bill Burr off the stage

We haven’t found a full clip yet, but here he is joking about what feminists will say about a “white male doing all this Latino stuff” at the awards show:

And he said one of the performances made him want to “kill himself”:

Apparently, he was talking about pianist Igor Levit:
Real nice saying pianist Igor Levit's performance made him want to "kill himself." Now mangling all the Latin nominees' names. Stay classy, Bill Burr. https://t.co/d0fTl9Qky6

Burr is actually up for an award himself later on tonight:
Emerson alum Bill Burr '93, who received his first Grammy nomination this year for comedy album "Paper Tiger," takes the Premier Ceremony stage to announce category winners. https://t.co/CQiA8ppncC

Oh, man. Imagine the triggering that we’ll see if he wins?

Yes, Bill Burr, that's OSCAR-winner Hildur Guðnadóttir. Maybe listen to the nominees' listed and do your job so you don't upset the "feminists" watching. #yousuck #getoffthestage
