Jack Whitehall has claimed that comedians hosting awards shows will be “checking themselves when they write jokes” after the 2022 Oscars.
During the awards show earlier this year, Will Smith slapped and swore at Chris Rock on stage after the presenter made a joke at the expense of his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith.
Speaking on Good Morning Britain, Whitehall, who has hosted several awards ceremonies including the Brit Awards, discussed the repercussions of the Smith incident. “I think hosts now going forward are definitely going to be checking themselves every time they write a joke for their monologues thinking that that’s happened,” he said. “The only time anyone has ever actually got up on stage with me was quite scary. . .
And the problem is when something like that happens, and you sort of saw it happen at the Oscars, most people think that it’s part of the show, so they don’t do anything. ”Top Gun: Maverick - TrailerMark Wahlberg's Netflix comedy Spenser Confidential - trailerSimu Liu says it’s ‘an Incredible honour’ to front Marvel’s first Asian-led superhero filmEmma trailerViola Davis discusses racial inequality in HollywoodCouple apply for restraining order against Ezra MillerPope: Catholics don't need to breed like rabbitsUnder The Skin - TrailerAl Pacino on '20 years' ageing effect in The IrishmanJennifer Aniston kisses Will Poulter in We're the MillersLooper - TrailerAngelina Jolie's film rivalryFootage resurfaces of Chris Rock poking fun at Jada Pinkett Smith's activism in 1997220330 - Chris Rock Post OscasrsMarvel fans spot continuity error in Avengers- Infinity War.
