“Intelligence officials say Vladimir Putin is being misinformed by his advisers about how badly the Russian military is performing in Ukraine,” said Jost up top, “something like Will Smith’s agent telling him. ‘ ! » Jost said that in his opinion, Smith’s actions were “shameful” —especially because his actions set “a terrible precedent for having to defend your wife in awards shows”. Che noted that during his acceptance speech after the Best Actor award, King Richard star said, “Love will make you do crazy things.” “Do you know what else makes you do crazy things? “Crazy,” he joked. “But I know where Will comes from. “I mean, you can not expect him to sit there and watch another man jump his wife – without signing the NDA.” Yesterday, Jost continued, Smith resigned from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences before the awards body could dismiss him. “He would not do it,” said Jost, “but then Janda gave him that look.” If Smith had been expelled, Jost noted, he would have joined a “small group” of people expelled from the Academy, which includes Bill Cosby, Roman Polanski and Harvey Weinstein. “Or, as they are also known, ‘Bad Boys For Life.’” Che went on to talk about alopecia, the state of health that served as the basis for Jock Pinkett Smith’s rock joke, which in turn led to the comic brawl with her husband. “Can we stop pretending that everyone knew Jada had alopecia? “I mean, as much as we’ve heard about Jada and Will’s personal lives, you can not expect us to keep everything,” he said. “It’s like Kanye says, ‘Don’t act like you don’t know I had psoriasis!’ Selfishly, Che said, as a comedian, he is “tired” of people “putting their own insecurities” into his intentions for jokes. “I mean, I can not joke that it ‘s cold outside,” he said, “without anyone shouting,’ Stop making fun of my little penis! “Keep my little penis out of your mouth!” Part of the thing about the situation at the Oscars, for Jost, was that Smith was able to stay in the public eye (and even accept a trophy) after slapping Rock, simply because the comic said it was okay to does. “So now we ask the victim as soon as he is hit in the head? “Well, are you okay if the guy who just attacked you wanders around for a while? “You do not want to drive him crazy again,” he joked. “I can not believe the Academy has a worse concussion protocol than the NFL.” But honestly, Jost continued, “he can’t even blame” the Academy for not knowing what to do. “No one knew what to do. Even people at the Oscars were chanting, “Will Will Smith just slap Chris Rock?” observed. “I think we just have to admit that this was one of the craziest things we would ever see in our lives. It’s really like the Super Bowl wardrobe malfunction, but if Janet [Jackson]his nipple slapped [Justin] Timberlake. “ Not to mention, Che said, Rock was “very public” about dealing with a nonverbal learning disability, which makes it “difficult to understand” nonverbal cues. “Like when he saw an angry Will Smith charge him, instead of walking away, he put both his hands behind his back, smiled and said, ‘Oh! Later in the Update, presenters welcomed OJ Simpson (Kenan Thompson) to the office to share his views on the Oscars’ failure, with Che asking him which side he was on. “Oh, now Michael, you know me. I hate conflicts. “They both look good guys,” said Simpson. “But honestly, I did not even understand Chris Rock’s joke. I mean, what the hell is GI Jane? Che pointed out that it’s a movie from the ’90s, with Simpson exclaiming: “The’ 90s? “Oh, I do not remember anything from the ’90s.” Simpson said that in his humble opinion, Smith may have overreacted by slapping Rock. “I mean, Will, I do not mean that you have anger issues, but if the glove suits you,” he said, killed. “I am just saying.” Che then wondered if Simpson was finally on Rock’s side. “I did not say all that. “Chris is not exactly innocent either,” Simpson said. “No one likes to be mocked. I mean, you may be too young to remember, but people used to make a lot of bad jokes about me. “ When Che asked what the jokes were about, Simpson simply said, “Things. “The thing is, sometimes jokes can go a long way, especially when it comes to another man’s family,” Simpson said, “because, as Will Smith said in his speech, love will make you you are doing crazy things, you are supposed to “. When Che pointed out that there was talk of removing Smith’s Oscar, Simpson shouted, “You are not taking my trophies!” Senator Marsha Blackburn (Cecily Strong) also walked through the newsroom to analyze Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson’s confirmation hearing.
