CMT Awards: Ashton Kutcher Drops the Mic With a Catfish

Some country music fans wondered why the hell Ashton Kutcher “dropped the mic” using a catfish rather than an actual microphone at the CMT Awards on Wednesday.

A Predators fan who chucked a dead catfish onto the ice during Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals between the Predators and the Pittsburgh Penguins was arrested for “disorderly conduct, disrupting a meeting and possession of an instrument of a crime” late last month.

The “That ’70s Show” actor embraced the hockey tradition before announcing the award for best collaborative video, name-checking each of the nominees — including Carrie Underwood, the wife of Nashville Predators captain Mike Fisher.
