If you know what I mean," Burton began his introduction. LeVar Burton makes a Will Smith joke on stage during the 64th Annual Grammy Awards. (Photo by Denise Truscello/Getty Images for The Recording Academy) "So I need to caution everybody: Remain in your seats and keep your hands to yourself.

Alright?" Burton joked. Burton introduced the next presenter, comedian Nate Bargazte, who walked onto the stage wearing a black helmet, obviously referencing the Smith and Chris Rock slap.   "They said comedians have to wear these now at award shows during their joke parts," Bargazte said. "It doesn’t even cover your face, I think it just focuses where you would hit me." ‘KEEPING PEOPLE'S NAMES OUT OF OUR MOUTHS' This year's host, Trevor Noah, also made his own joke towards the "King Richard" star. "We're going to be keeping people's names out of our mouths," Noah joked during the beginning of the show.
