Just a couple weeks after his co-star Gina Carano got the boot from The Mandalorian, comedian Bill Burr may find himself just as canceled. Burr did not have as big of a role on the Disney+ series, but he did have leading roles in at least two episodes as mercenary Migs Mayfeld.
Burr presented the Grammy for Best Tropical Latin Album on Sunday, as well as several other similar trophies, and while doing so he quipped about political correctness. How many feminists are going nuts, Why is this cis-white male doing all this Latino stuff? he asked.

In what is sure to go down as more questionable decision-making by the Grammys, Bill Burr presented a series of awards as part of yesterday s pre-show telecast, and the comedian worked in some jokes that have left a number of viewers upset.
Burr, a noted metalhead, was tapped to present awards for Best Latin Rock or Alternative Album, Best Choral Performance, Best Classical Instrument Solo Performance, Best Classical Vocal Album, Best Classical Compendium and more.
Shortly after walking onstage, Burr commented of his walk-on music, Was I the only one that wanted to kill himself during that piano solo? I bought a suit for this. I thought I was going to be on TV. I m such a moron. I m losing so much money right now.

JOSE ALBERTO TAMAYO DIAZ, aka The Nightingale, hails from Bayamo, capital of the Granma province in eastern Cuba, and the city is, he declares, “my life,” having lived there for over 30 years.
He’s proud to call himself a guajiro, the Cuban term for ordinary people living in rural areas.
Tamayo Diaz got his musicality at home. His father was a tres, a three-course chordophone player, and his mother a singer.
At 14, he set up and charismatically led Grupo Rock Lasser.
His present combo, Bayamo National Movement (BNM), have responded to the coronavirus pandemic through the fundraising Cuba Saves concerts that salute the efforts of doctors and nurses and are broadcast from his own backyard.
