This is just the cutest thing! During the 2018 Grammys on Sunday, Jan. 28, host James Corden hilariously handed out “consolation puppies” to the four nominees who lost to Dave Chappelle in the Best Comedy Album category. “I should say to all the nominees that who are not going home with a Grammy — I don’t want anyone to be upset tonight so the good news is nobody goes home empty handed because all night we will be handing out consolation puppies. So if you didn’t get a Grammy, you get a puppy,” James told the crowd. This light-hearted moment became an unforgettable part of the ceremony, capturing the hearts of viewers and attendees alike.

As the event unfolded, the audience watched in delight as James continued his playful antics, handing out the cutest puppies to the stars, creating a buzz on social media. The excitement peaked when comedian Jerry Seinfeld and his wife, Jessica Seinfeld, received a puppy, with James humorously warning Jerry to be careful because “that’s Roxy, she’s a biter.” The charm of the puppies and the laughter they brought to the evening were infectious, making it a standout moment.

However, not everyone was thrilled with the idea of giving away puppies as a joke. Some animal rights activists expressed their concerns during the show, emphasizing that animals are not toys. This sparked a larger conversation about the responsibilities that come with pet ownership. Despite the mixed reactions, the “consolation puppies” undeniably added a memorable layer to the 2018 Grammys, reminding us of the joy and fun that can be found even in disappointing situations.
