Hotline Feature – Kristyn Burtt: Grammy Highlights, Olympic TV Blitz, and Hollywood’s Biopic Boom
Entertainment reporter Kristyn Burtt joins Dave Weekley on Hotline for a packed breakdown of a massive week in entertainment and television. The two recap the Grammy Awards, including Trevor Noah’s farewell as host, standout performances from Bruno Mars and Sabrina Carpenter, major wins for Bad Bunny and Kendrick Lamar, and an emotional all-star tribute to Ozzy Osbourne. Kristyn also looks ahead to the Grammys’ move from CBS to ABC, weighs in on ratings expectations, and explains why live events continue to dominate. The conversation expands to NBC’s unprecedented sports stretch featuring the Winter Olympics, Super Bowl, NBA, and all-day 4K broadcasts, before turning somber with updates on Savannah Guthrie’s missing mother. The segment closes with early buzz around the Michael Jackson biopic, the current wave of music biopics, and box office analysis of the Melania documentary.
