Among the Batistes, musical excellence isn't special, and you get no passes for that, no excuses for not being a good human being.

      For some reason I believe that there is a hidden message in what you're saying. Yes Jon Baptiste deserved all of his awards, Will Smith deserved his award too. Now, here are two men with wives that have medical conditions. Will Smith's wife has alopecia and that causes loss of hair. Jon Baptiste wife also has a medical condition leukemia and that causes loss of hair due to the treatment she has to endure. What if the tables were turned and Chris Rock made fun of Jon Baptiste's wife's bald head? I don't think Chris Rock would have made fun of Jon Baptiste's wife but, what if he did? Would everyone ridicule Jon Baptiste if he had gotten up to defend his wife? Chris Rock claims that he did not know about Jada's autoimmune disease. The bottom line is this, even if Chris Rock did not know about Jada's autoimmune disease he should have never made fun of her bald head. Common Sense should tell everyone that when you see someone with a bald head you should not make fun of them. You don't know what's going on in their life, they could have a medical condition. Chris Rock took it upon himself to humiliate Jada. What Chris Rock did was take the attention off of Jada's Beauty and her beautiful dress and had everyone focus on her bald head. I can just imagine that Jada probably had a hard time leaving the house to go to that stupid award show with her husband but she made an effort for him. A woman's hair is her glory and not having it anymore is extremely difficult. I can imagine when the doctor told her that she had alopecia she went home and told her husband and she cried in his arms. Jada puts up a brave front but I know she's hurting inside. When a woman gets dressed up to go to a special event she wants to feel beautiful. She doesn't want to be made fun of at a special event. I'm not saying what Will Smith did was right but I can understand it. We all make mistakes. Nobody on this planet is perfect. I forgive Chris Rock for telling that awful joke and I also forgive Will Smith for slapping Chris Rock.

      @@rosalindscotton5629 For starts well written comment/statement. 👏🏽I don't believe Jon would have been ridiculed for slapping Chris if that was his wife being made fun. Especially considering that Jon's wife is battling a life threatening medical condition. Personally I don't think Jon would have responded like but who's knows. We all can be triggered and pushed to our limit behavior wise. Will could have handled that differently by far however this is what happens when your constantly emasculated unfortunately: You take your anger out on the wrong people and thus fail to address the root of the problem. Yes Chris joking about Will's wife condition was insensitive and uncalled for. Especially if Chris knew about his wife's condition .

    Jon's humility and sweet disposition are always a much needed spot of happiness. He still seems in disbelief, aww it's so special to know how much of his family was there with him. That much sweeter of a moment. Grand pa has to be an amazing man to have helped raise such a soulful talented gentleman. Bet he laughs like him. Others accomplishments feel good with the person who earned them is just genuinely good.
    I don't think this moment will be rare for him, many more Grammys in his future for sure.
    Edit, Jon's wife has leukemia and is currently battling it. I don't think they've mentioned that on the show but I googled to see if there were wedding photos and I'm crestfallen. Poor guy. I hope she beats it and he can genuinely genuinely celebrate all the good things they have and he has earned. I hope to read that she has beaten cancer by Christmas.

    No other host has made their band leader a valued partner like this. From the moment Stephen went down to LA and asked Jon to help make the show (vs 'be on it') to this very day, the love, support, respect, and consistent paycheck all honor Jon's contributions to the team and show Colbert's integrity as a human and a boss.
    Quality people are surrounded by quality people. If you didn't know Colbert, all you'd need to know is his relationships with Evie and Jon and you could instantly deduce his character.

      They are close friends, and I'm glad they don't gloss over it on tv; in fact, we've seen Stephen Colbert give heartfelt speeches of gratitude for their profound friendship.
      I don't think anyone can put on the glib show business facade with Jon Batiste; he is so genuine that there's no space for fakery in a conversation. He's pretty good at not giving information away when he wants to keep it private, but he's never not authentic.
      In the first few years that I saw him interact with Stephen on the show, Jon seemed so happy but inarticulate that I wondered if he was high. Having seen him be perfectly articulate and unusually direct and profound in the last two years, I think he's a genuinely joyful and positive-minded person (rather than drug-addled, lol) -- I think he gets into the zone when he's playing, and it's perhaps difficult for him to switch from thinking in music to using words.
      I wish him and his wife solace, moments of tranquility, and fearlessness when they need it.

    That was such a beautiful moment I cried in the laughter. Well done Mr. Batiste, Stephen Colbert you're a champion

    I love a man showing off his wedding ring! 😍😍😍 Between the marriage and the Grammy’s! Couldn’t have happened to a better guy! Congratulations, Jon!

      I don't think I've ever seen a male celebrity show off his wedding ring like that

    Gotta say that during lockdown, those short side interviews between Steve and Jon really helped. Little daily doses of optimism and goodwill. Congratulations Jon, you deserve it mate.

      Jon's album with Cory Wong 'Meditations' is what got me through lockdown. No argument.

    Jon may be the most delightful human on this earth today! Delightful! And all he does is share that thing that makes him so delightful. Thank you, Jon! 💖

    This is like a guy interviewing his baby brother after they’re all grown up you can see the same sibling type of love these guys have for each other
