In a pre-taped segment during the Grammy Awards, host James Corden had music artists, including Snoop Dogg, John Legend and Cher, “audition” to read a potential audiobook for Michael Wolff’s explosive Trump exposé Fire and Fury in hopes of landing a spoken word Grammy next year.

U.S.’s UN Ambassador Nikki Haley, who was forced to publicly deny a “disgusting” rumor about an affair with the President, fueled by Wolff, also slammed the skit, calling it “trash”:
