Zack Sharf Ricky Gervais defended Chris Rock’s Oscars joke in controversial fashion. The comedian, who is no stranger to provoking celebrities at awards shows thanks to his five-year stint hosting the Golden Globes, said Rock’s joke at the 94th Academy Awards that resulted in Will Smith slapping him wasn’t even that offensive. Gervais then proceeded to joke about disabilities.Rock’s Oscars joke revolved around the comedian telling Jada Pinkett Smith he was excited to see her star in a “G.I.

Billy Bush is speaking out in support of Will Smith.  The 50-year-old television and radio host took to Instagram on Monday, posting a lengthy caption and several images of Smith crying at the 2022 Oscars, explaining why he believes the Academy Board of Governors should "pack it up and move on".  "The Academy is still going to meet regarding disciplinary action for Will Smith. He resigned yesterday. He’s no longer a voting member," he began.

The inside scoop. Amy Schumer opened up about how she felt after Will Smith slapped Chris Rock at the Oscars — and revealed what the vibe was like behind the scenes.

After Marjorie Taylor Greene called out Jimmy Kimmel for joking about Will Smith hypothetically slapping her, the comedian defended his humor.

Zack Sharf Jimmy Kimmel fired back at Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene on social media over her claim that she reported one of his jokes to Capitol Police. Greene took issue with a joke Kimmel made on the April 5 episode of “Jimmy Kimmel Live.” During his monologue, Kimmel evoked Will Smith in joking about wanting someone to slap Greene over her thoughts on the Supreme Court confirmation hearings of Ketanji Brown Jackson.“This woman, Klan mom, is especially upset with the three Republican senators who said they’ll vote yes on Ketanji Brown Jackson, who’s nominated for the Supreme Court,” Kimmel said, referring to Greene.

her arguably slanderous accusation that three of her fellow Republicans are “pro-pedophile” for supporting Joe Biden’s Supreme Court nominee, Ketanji Brown Jackson. (Jackson has also been baselessly accused of being pro-pedophilia by an alarmingly high number of Republicans, but so far those other Republicans haven’t also turned this gross line of attack on their own side.)So in his monologue, Kimmel quoted her baseless accusations verbatim, then joked, “Wow. Where is Will Smith when you really need him, huh?”Now, Kimmel’s joke was obviously a reference to Smith slapping Chris Rock at the Oscars, apparently in retaliation for a joke about his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith.

Academy Awards co-host Amy Schumer stopped by “Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen” on Wednesday to share her thoughts on Will Smith’s slap of Chris Rock — the moment that “really changed the air in the room.”

I was kind of the only host that was going out solo after that, so it really felt like the Situation Room of comedy,» she shared.

I would have made a joke about her boyfriend.”Pinket Smit and US singer Alsina have been involved in an “entanglement”, which she has discussed on her Red Table Talk show.Gervais also mocked people criticising Rock for “joking about [Pinkett-Smith’s] disability”.“Well, I’m going a bit thin – I’m disabled,” Gervais said, pointing to his head.
