Chris Rock Joked About The Will Smith Oscars Slap After Dave Chappelle Was Attacked On Stage
Chris is a comedian, so it was only a matter of time.

It’s been a little more than a month since Will Smith smacked Chris Rock across his face during the Academy Awards ceremony’s live broadcast.

The moment, infamously and immediately coined the Slap Heard Around the World, was discussed widely for weeks after it happened. As scrutiny, criticism, and a bunch of other opinions circulated, so did some jokes — and Chris himself is apparently amenable to them.

Chris was also at the festival to perform. He supposedly rushed on stage when Dave was attacked, before grabbing the microphone to address folks in the audience. “Was that Will Smith?” he joked.

Will took home the Oscar for Best Lead Actor at the awards show this past March. He apologized for slapping Chris in a public statement shortly after the show, but was banned from the Oscars for 10 years by the Academy.

It was only a matter of time before Chris started cracking jokes about the Oscars slap. We’re just glad everyone emerged from both on stage incidents unharmed.
