'Saturday Night Live' addressed Will Smith slapping presenter Chris Rock during the Academy Awards several times in the show this weekend.
Jerrod Carmichael opened his monologue deadpanning,"I’m not going to talk about it."
Carmichael said on Monday people couldn’t get him to"shut up" about the slap, which he only ever referred to as"it" and by Friday he promised himself that he would never talk about it again. At the end of his monologue, Carmichael threw the"nation needs to heal" baton to former President Obama, telling him through the camera,"we need you back because I think you’re going to have to talk about it. The nation needs to heal."
CHRIS ROCK'S BROTHER TONY SLAMS WILL SMITH OVER OSCARS SLAP: ‘YOU GONNA HIT MY MOTHERF--CKING BROTHER?’ Audio of a loud slap is heard and Smith sits back down like nothing happened while Carmichael looks horrified."Keep my wife’s name out of your f-----g mouth!" Redd’s Smith shouts before declaring nonchalantly to Carmichael,"I love the Oscars, man," and continuing to make small talk. He then screams the profanity again and a clearly afraid Carmichael tries to politely get out of taking the aforementioned selfie.
Lastly, the show brought in cast member Kenan Thompson as O.J. Simpson on its"Weekend Update" news segment.
