The 2022 Grammys team talks Taylor Hawkins, Tony Bennett, Kanye West & what they learned from last year’s intimate show.
Asked on Monday if Foo Fighters would appear, Jack Sussman, EVP, specials, CBS, said, “I hope so. I don’t know. I think we need to give them a little time to deal with the tragedy that has impacted their family and listen to them and come up with something to honor Taylor’s memory that is appropriate and that they feel good about.”
Noah says he agreed to do the show again based on his “really great working relationship” with Ben Winston, who was showrunner last year and remains one of the show’s executive producers . “That’s why I said yes to the Grammys. Because I can only do so much as a host. The biggest misconception that people can have is that this is my show. The Grammys is about the Grammys. It’s about the artists, the awards, the show. I’m not trying to make it about me.
“But ultimately what has [been] the constant is the idea that we are celebrating the year in music. Were bringing artists to the biggest audience possible in a given moment in time and we’re celebrating it all under one roof on one night. That’s the beauty of the Grammys. You gotta walk out on that stage in front of your peers in front of millions of people worldwide and deliver the goods.
“We will continue to have amazing Grammy moments,” Kapoor says. “We’re probably doing less collaborations, but sometimes when they happen, they’re magical. … Those kind of Grammy moments are continuing to evolve. I think they’re just going to be done in a little bit of a different way.” “Things have changed,” Kapoor says. “We’re not calling people and stopping them from performing on late-night shows or other shows. We always want to have a special performance on the Grammys. We think if you have a big idea or [would like to] do the version that you’ve always wanted to do, it should be on the Grammys, but we’re not here to stop you from doingor other shows. That’s not our style. It’s just something we don’t do anymore.
Sussman speaks highly of the current Grammy production team. “The team we have in place right now working on this show, with this group of producers and directors, is literally one of the most talented and diverse groups of creators on any show I’ve ever worked on.”
