Was real to himself, and it was as exciting to watch as when the Super Bowl is on.

Chris Rock has jokingly compared his slap from Will Smith to last year’s attack on Paul Pelosi.The comedian referenced former US House of Representatives speaker Nancy Pelosi and her husband during the Kennedy Centre awards on Sunday (March 19), honouring Adam Sandler with the Mark Twain Prize for American Humour.“Paul Pelosi [is] the only guy who knows how I felt,” Rock said (via USA Today), comparing Will Smith slapping him at the 2022 Oscars to the October 2022 assault on Pelosi. “Just me and you, Paul.”Paul Pelosi suffered a fractured skull after an intruder broke into their home, demanding to know where Nancy was. Pelosi had to undergo surgery following the attack.Both Paul and Nancy Pelosi were present at the Kennedy Centre when Rock made the joke.In Rock’s new stand-up special for Netflix, Selective Outrage, the comedian spoke in detail for the first time about the incident at last year’s Oscars.Addressing his run-in with Smith, Rock said: “Everybody knows it happened.

Oscars has revealed that a number of Will Smith jokes were cut from Jimmy Kimmel’s script.At last year’s ceremony, Smith slapped Chris Rock on stage for making a joke about the hair of his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith. Just moments later, Smith received the Best Actor award for his performance in King Richard.While giving his opening monologue at the 95th Academy Awards on Sunday (March 12), presenter Kimmel jokingly referenced the incident, saying: “If anyone in this theatre commits an act of violence at any point during this show, you will be awarded the Oscar for Best Actor and permitted to give a 19-minute-long speech.”However, there were additional jokes about the Smith-Rock slap that didn’t make Kimmel’s final script.Molly McNearney, an executive producer of Jimmy Kimmel Live! and Kimmel’s wife, explained that the writing team decided to restrict the number of jokes about the incident, as they didn’t want to focus too much on the past.“We didn’t want to make this year all about last year,” McNearney told Variety.“I cannot tell you how many Will Smith jokes we had that then we got rid of.

Will Smith was keeping a low profile while the 95th Academy Awards were taking place at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles on Sunday.Not too far away from the event in San Dimas, California, the 54-year-old actor was seen driving a car around 4 p.m. PT.The sighting comes about a year after Smith made headlines for slapping Chris Rock across the face during the 2022 Oscars in reaction to the comedian making a joke about Smith's wife, Jada Pinkett Smith.

Will Smith and Chris Rock.Hollywood A-listers are hitting the red carpet and going for the gold again — likely with less controversy than last year — during the 95th Academy Awards at 8 p.m. Sunday, March 12. The 2023 Oscars ceremony — held at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles — is airing live on ABC and streaming on ABC.com, Hulu Live TV, YouTube TV, AT&T TV and FuboTV.“Everything Everywhere All at Once” seemingly has the most momentum of all nominees, topping this year’s nods with 11 — including Best Picture, Actress in a Leading Role (Michelle Yeoh), Actor in a Supporting Role (Ke Huy Quan) and Actress in a Supporting Role (Jamie Lee Curtis and Stephanie Hsu).

slap heard around the world — but the world won’t get to hear one of Chris Rock’s jokes about it.A joke about Will Smith in Rock’s Netflix special “Chris Rock: Selective Outrage” was edited out after the comedian messed it up during the live show.Rock, 58, was joking about Smith, 54, and his wife Jada Pinkett Smith, 51, toward the end of his March 4 show, specifically discussing a conversation he claims to have had with them about his hosting gig for the 2016 Oscars when he botched the joke.“Years ago, his wife said I should quit the Oscars; I shouldn’t host ’cause her man didn’t get nominated for ‘Emancipation,’ the biggest piece of s–t ever!” Rock said during Netflix’s first-ever global live-streaming event. “No, not ‘Emancipation,’ I f–ked up the joke.”The comedian meant to refer to the 2015 sports drama “Concussion,” a film based on the true story of neuropathologist Dr.

Will Smith, 54, slapped 94th Academy Awards presenter Chris Rock, 58, after the comedian made a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith’s hair — which Smith took as a jab at his 51-year-old wife’s struggle with alopecia. The tone-deaf comment inspired the actor to hustle up to the Los Angeles Dolby Theatre stage and smack Rock in the face.Typically, the previous year’s Best Actor winner comes back to present the award for Best Actress — but Smith, who won the Best Actor nod for his role in “King Richard,” won’t be in attendance.After the incident, Smith announced his resignation from the Academy, and it was ultimately decided that he would be banned from appearing at the Oscars ceremony for 10 years.“We’re going to acknowledge it, and then we’re gonna move on,” executive producer Molly McNearney said.

She started this shit. She said that me, a fucking grown ass man, should quit his job because ‘My husband didn’t get nominated for Concussion’.”The correction was pointed out by Vulture’s Jesse David Fox on Twitter, who wrote: “They fixed the Concussion–Emancipation slip up in the version that’s now on Netflix.”He added: “It makes me wonder if there has been other tweaks!”Speaking about the Oscars slap, Rock said: “Everybody knows it happened.
