Because Jack FM is owned by CBS, we’re contractually obligated to spend all day talking about last night’s Grammy Awards. We’re also supposed to say David Letterman at least five times a day, so let’s get that out of the way: David Letterman, David Letterman, David Letterman, David Letterman. Now, about those Grammy’s.

The Grammy Awards last night shone bright for Beyonce, Taylor Swift, and Kings of Leon who all took home major awards. But at some point in the night, whether it was during commercial breaks or at some secret pre-show ceremony held in the alley out back of the Staples Center, some familiar names took home some huge awards. Some of them might surprise you, from actors to industry giants.

Hollywood Goes Grammy

During the telecast, funny-man (and Second City alum) Stephen Colbert took home Best Comedy Album, but he wasn’t the only one from the land of TV to score a Grammy. Michael J. Fox also picked up an award for his audiobook “Always Looking Up” and ex-SNL-er Steve Martin won Best Bluegrass Album.

Beyonce, Beyonce, Beyonce

The R&B songstress broke records at last night’s ceremony by taking home the most awards in one night by a female artist (6). While that horrible duet Taylor Swift did with Stevie Nicks has America thinking Ms. Sasha Fierce probably deserved Album of the Year as well, we’re not going to be “all Kanye” about it. But one award you didn’t see on TV was the one she scored for Best Traditional R&B Vocal Performance for her rendition of Etta James’ classic “At Last”. The girl has got some pipes… that’s for sure.

Reggae Superstars

The Marley surname is still the biggest in the world of Reggae with Bob Marley’s two eldest sons Stephen and Ziggy winning Grammy’s for Best Reggae Album and Best Musical Album for Children respectively. The two have a combined 12 career Grammy Awards and Bob’s 1973 album “Catch a Fire” was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame this year. We’re not sure, but they probably hold a record for the most awards by one family. Take that Donnie & Marie.

Producer of the Year

Brendan O’Brien. The name might not mean much, but in the world of rock music the man is a legend. Since the early ‘90s, O’Brien has been behind some of the biggest Alternative and Rock acts in the industry. Last night he took home Producer of the Year for 2009, a year he helped create albums for AC/DC, Pearl Jam, Killswitch Engage, Mastadon, and Bruce Sprintsteen. But don’t think 2009 was a banner year for the guy – O’Brien is responsible for some of your favorite albums of the past two decades. Here’s but a sampling:

Stone Temple Pilots – Core

The Black Crowes – Shake Your Money Maker

Pearl Jam – Vitalogy

Rage Against the Machine – Evil Empire

KoRn – Follow the Leader

AC/DC – Black Ice

Red Hot Chili Peppers – Blood Sugar Sex Magik

Aerosmith – Get a Grip

Audioslave – Out of Exile

Soundgarden – Superunknown

Incubus – A Crow Left of the Murder
