“Smith won’t slap him will he?”: Fans React to Will Smith’s Return on Netflix in ‘My Next Guest Needs No Introduction’ With David Letterman

2022 has been a weird year for all. In just a few months into the year, we have
had some big controversies that have engulfed the entire internet. And it even

those controversies can still be felt. One such esteemed celebrity who is still
in the news for his infamous incident is Will Smith.

[https://netflixjunkie.com/netflix-news-will-smith-and-chris-rock-controversy-becomes-a-meme-fest-for-netizens-check-the-best-ones-here/],
and wondering why the incident happened in the first place. But one thing that
happened after the incident was that Will was not seen much after that night.
