As Dixon mentions Pence in the video, boos can be heard, but Dixon says, "There's nothing to boo here."
He then delivered a message to Pence that stressed the need for the new administration to respond to the needs of all Americans.
"We truly hope that this show has inspired you to uphold our American values and to work on behalf of all of us," Dixon said.
Twitter users also indicated that Pence was booed as he arrived at his seat.

Pence and President-elect Donald Trump ran on a platform that was deemed controversial by some in the Latino community, including building a wall between the U.S. and Mexico and proposing the deportation of numerous undocumented immigrants.
