Academy Award host Jimmy Kimmel Jokes About Everybody &#039;Doing Nothing&#039; After Will Smith Slap in Oscars 2023 Monologue.

“Give the assailant a hug”- Jimmy Kimmel Does Not Hold Back as He Throws Shade at Last Year&#8217;s Will Smith-Chris Rock Incident at the Oscars Ceremony

Speaking of the Oscars without a mention of Will Smith? This can not be
possible. It has been a year forward, but the world has not recovered from the
2022 Oscar slapgate, which featured Will Smith taking a hit at the comedian,
Chris Rock. Not at least, our very own Jimmy Kimmel, who was mock-slapping every
other entity with his over-the-top hilarious roasts. How could Will Smith be
spared from the same?

Following his subtle jibes at Steven Spielberg and Seth Rogen

the host did not hold back from giving a clear warning against any violence
straight away picking at the King Richard star. While getting the audience to
spill waves of laughter with his opening monologue of various topics, Kimmel
referred to the five Irish actors that have been nominated this year.

“Which means the odds of a fight happening onstage are way up,” the host
claimed, clearly referring to the mishap last year where Smith unleashed his
wrath on the comedian. Kimmel further called for safety at the Oscars.

So, keeping the slaps at bay, Kimmel went on to preach the strict policies that
the Academy Award Organizers have made pretty clear. “If anyone in this theatre
commits an act of violence at any point during the show, you will be awarded the
Oscar for best actor,” said Kimmel, making the jabs one of the most clever sides
hits in history. 


JIMMY KIMMEL AND HIS JABS AT WILL SMITH WERE PRETTY CLEVER 

Not only that, but referring to Smith’s 19-minute-long Oscar speech last year
following the slap, Kimmel also made sure that the actor is given permission to
make another 19-minute-long speech following the apparent hilarious custom
coming down since last year.

Poking fun at the audience, who were busy guffawing, the host reminded once
again of the crisis team. Nonetheless went on to joke around the audience’s
reaction to the slap gate last year saying, “If anything unpredictable or
violent happens during the ceremony. Just do what you did last year: nothing,”
he said. “Sit there and do absolutely nothing. Maybe even give the assailant a
hug.“

“We know this is a special night for you,” the host further continued that he
will look into whether the audience is having fun, without risking his safety
ever. Since that is exactly what happened last year, with the host getting a
swipe across the face by the Emancipation star. 

What is your take on the matter? Do you feel it was necessary to bring up the
slapgate or was it just plain harmless fun? Let us know in the comments below.
