Hillary Clinton Reads ‘Fire And Fury’ Excerpt In Grammys Skit, Nikki Haley Responds

Hillary Clinton made a cameo appearance at the Grammys in a clip aired by host James Corden.

HILLARY CLINTON CAMEO AT 2018 GRAMMYS

In the sketch, various celebrities who are outspokenly against Donald Trump read excerpts from Michael Wolff‘s exposé Fire and Fury, jokingly auditioning to read for the audiobook. First John Legend began reading, but was quickly stopped by Corden for being “too smooth.” Next up was Cher, who read a little further, but was again stopped. Snoop DoggCardi B and DJ Khaled did their ‘audition’ before getting to the final person, who was Clinton.

“That’s it, we’ve got it. That’s the one,” Corden says after the former presidential candidate finished reading. “You think so? The Grammy’s in the bag?” she replied.

“In the bag,” Corden confirmed.

“On the hunt for a GRAMMY Award of his own, James Corden auditions celebrities for the spoken word version of Michael Wolff’s ‘Fire and Fury,'” read the tweet with the video from The Late Late Show‘s Twitter page.

Donald Trump Jr. tweeted twice about the skit, less than 10 minutes apart. “Getting to read a #fakenews book excerpt at the Grammys seems like a great consolation prize for losing the presidency. #GrammyAwards.” he wrote. “The more Hillary goes on television the more the American people realize how awesome it is to have @realDonaldTrump in office #GrammyAwards2018.”

U.S. ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley commented on the clip and received a lot of backlash for it. “I have always loved the Grammys but to have artists read the Fire and Fury book killed it. Don’t ruin great music with trash. Some of us love music without the politics thrown in it,” she wrote.

Many responded to remind Haley that music and politics have always been intertwined, as artists often use their platform to inform and try to change culture and politics. Others pointed out that Trump often crosses boundaries and gives his two cents on things other than politics.
