While Pinkett Smith seemed to roll her eyes at the comment, Smith stormed into the scene. As Rock commented, “Oh …”, Smith seemed to slap him. “Wow, Will Smith just kicked me in the face,” one rocking Rock told the audience as Smith took his seat. Smith then swore and swore to Rock from the stands, shouting, “Keep my wife’s name out of your mouth,” to which Rock replied, “Dude, it was a funny GI Jane.” “Keep my wife’s name out of your mouth,” Smith shouted. “I’ll do it,” a troubled Rock replied before commenting, “This was the best night in the history of television,” and went on to award the prize.
