Well, there's nothing my producer, Andy Zenor,
loves more than throwing on some short shorts and talking to famous musicians.
So I sent him to cover the red carpet at the Grammy Awards.
It's music's biggest night, and let's see how he's dressed.
Hopefully, it's appropriate.
And look at how nice that is, Andy.
>> Hi, Ellen. >> That's fancy, that suit.
>> Yeah, I'm here to lighten up the Grammys, get it?
>> Yeah. >> [LAUGH]

Yeah, I get it. >> I'm lighting up the place.
