“I saw Chris [Rock] at Guy [Oseary] ‘s party,” Wanda Sykes told Ellen DeGeneres on the Mar.
30 episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show, “and soon as I walked up to him, the first thing that he said was, ‘I’m so sorry.'” Wanda, 58, spoke about her experience hosting the 2022 Oscars and the fallout from Will Smith slapping Chris, 57.
Wanda asked him why he was apologizing. “He was like, ‘it was supposed to be your night. You, Amy [Schumer], and Regina [Hall] were doing such a great job.
I’m so sorry. Now, this is going to be about this.’ That’s who Chris is.” Earlier in the interview, Wanda recalled where she was when Will, 53, smacked the Madagascar star for making a joke about Jada Pinkett-Smith. “I was – I think we had finished the bit,” Wanda said, referring to how her cohosts had dressed up as characters from the year’s biggest movies (oddly enough, Wanda had dressed as Will from King Richard.) “I guess I was about to change to get into PJs, but – we had just introduced Chris, Regina and I introduced him from our bit.” Wanda said she ran to her trailer to change, and by the time she got back to the Dolby Theatre, she had missed it. “I just saw Will leave the stage, and everything was quiet,” she said. “And then, Will just starts cursing from his seat – ‘keep my wife’s name,’ whatever – and I was just like, ‘is this really happening?'” continued Wanda.
