The star of CBS's hit "NCIS: Los Angeles" is a two-time Grammy winner, but he's nowhere near the hip hop legend he used to be. Instead, his second hosting gig featured an intro that was embarrassingly self indulgent and a waste of 5 minutes for a show that historically goes long enough as it.  And, really? Did we need the social media call outs? And a flashback of LL on American Bandstand? How cool is that? Sigh.
