One of his recent controversies at the Oscars created a huge buzz over the
internet. The Pursuit of Happiness actor slapped the host Chris Rock on stage.
Shortly after, it became a hot topic and fans can’t get enough of the drama that
evolved out of it. While a plethora of celebrities condemned the I am Legend
actor’s behaviour, The Daily Show host had a peculiar take on the issue.


TREVOR NOAH ON WILL SMITH SLAPPING CHRIS ROCK AT THE OSCARS

The Will Smith-Chris Rock incident at the Oscars sparked a huge controversy,
with people condemning the actor for his behavior. While Smith became a subject
to criticism from various celebrities, comedian Trevor Noah saw it as a blessing
in disguise. On one of the episodes of The Daily Show
[https://www.youtube.com/c/TheDailyShow], Noah talked about how the Oscar ban on
Smith was not so severe if you think about it. The comedian confessed, how,
despite being banned, Smith could still win Oscars. Furthermore Noah said, “So,
in many ways this is not a punishment. Yeah it is a favor.” 



Elsewhere in the video, Noah admitted how the King Richard

does not have to get dressed and sit through a bunch of boring awards. Moreover,
the talk show host even mocked the different categories of awards at the Oscars.
Interestingly, Noah even yelled, “I wish I could get banned from the Emmys.”


SOME PEOPLE DEFEND THE KING RICHARD ACTOR

While Trevor Noah joked around the Will Smith incident at the Oscars, a number
of individuals came to Smith’s support. Various tweets followed criticising
Chris Rock for his insensitive joke on Jada Pinkett Smith.
