'SNL' Roasted Will Smith & The Infamous Oscars Slap So Many Times Last Night (VIDEOS)
A whole sketch was dedicated to what happened! 😬
It seems the world is not tired of talking about Will Smith, Chris Rock and the now-infamous Oscars slap … and that includes Saturday Night Live!
During the SNL episode that aired on April 2, less than one week after the controversial moment, several bits acknowledged what happened, with one sketch even recreating the moment.
The references began pretty much from the outset, despite host Jerrod Carmichael's opening monologue suggesting the world had grown tired of talking about the scandal.
The slap — which occurred after Chris Rock made a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith — was, however, mentioned constantly throughout the opener, with Carmichael ultimately concluding that former U.S. President Barack Obama should weigh in on the incident.
Those who are not tired of hearing about what happened didn't have to wait too long to see a whole sketch dedicated to the drama, either.
Around halfway through the show, the slap was addressed in a skit set at the Oscars in the moments before, which cast Chris Redd as Will Smith and Carmichael as a seat filler.
The seat filler watches the events of the evening unfold, as Smith plays it cool between slapping Rock and shouting at him.
That wasn't all. The now-infamous Oscars moment was also acknowledged in the SNL cold open, during a Fox and Friends parody that included a FaceTime from former U.S. President Donald Trump.
James Austin Johnson, playing Trump, admits that he did see the the slap and "enjoyed" it, before ranting about the 2005 movie Hitch, starring Smith.
The smack also got a shout out from Colin Jost and Michael Che during their Weekend Update sketch. The duo roasted Smith during their news segment, joking that the moment "sets a terrible precedent for having to defend your wife at award shows."
They also took aim at Smith's Oscars acceptance speech, as well as his recent resignation from the Academy in the aftermath of what happened.
In the week since the Oscars, both Chris Rock and Smith have spoken out, while Pinkett Smith has vaguely referenced what happened via Instagram.
Other big name celebs, including Jim Carrey and other comedians, have called out Smith for his behaviour on the night, slamming it as "sickening."
Smith apologized to Rock, acknowledging his actions as "unacceptable and inexcusable."
