In 2017, Tracee Ellis Ross added a new entry to her curriculum vitae: award show host. For both that year and 2018, Ross hosted the American Music Awards, which synergistically aired on ABC, the same network that broadcast her sitcom "Black-ish."
During her 2017 hosting stint, noted Allure, some viewers were less focused on her snappy hosting patter and frequent costume changes than they were on one of her eyes. As those viewers commented on social media, that eye seemingly had a mind of its own and occasionally twitched throughout the show.
Ross was aware of all the attention that had been heaped upon her twitching eye and fired back with a hilarious response. "Guys, I finished the show, I'm back in my sweats, praise Jesus. And listen to me: My left eye has literally — my left eye is at home and in bed. It's like, 'Bye! I'm done working.' My left eye is done," she joked in a video she posed on Instagram. She continued on, saying she knew that viewers made fun of her eyes, but it wasn't her fault. "My body does what it does, I don't know why. But sometimes when I'm tired, this one just gives up, and it's like, 'Goodnight!' I don't — you explain it to me!"
