Ricky Gervais Didn't Think the Will Smith-Chris Rock Oscars Slap Actually Happened | SiriusXM

when you were watching this year, yeah, and Chris Rock got

slap

ped in the face for making the GI Jane joke, you were sitting there saying how I survived fine, no, but soon, soon, uh, it was trending, yeah, on Twitter, Yes, yes, it was a trend. For like two days, I wasn't even there and I had to give that night some new material, so I had to admit it and I came out and said, I don't have Will Smith at two and they laughed a lot. just because they were

think

ing about it, yeah, that's my job, I wasn't there properly and I was like, um, people on Twitter were trending, people were like, oh, what if Ricky had been the host and I

didn

't say anything.

Why wouldn't I have done it? a joke about his wife's hair, he would have made a joke about a boyfriend, it just went on and on, so, um, that was a big thing, that's a big thing, but

slap

ping someone is crazy, it's crazy, It's crazy and I don't do it. I still don't really know what I was

think

ing why he was doing it. I think I wanted to feel like I wanted to be a man feeling. I mean, Mel Gibson was able to not do it. You'd think well, imagine Mel Gibson wanted to murder me. Absolutely, um, you know, and uh, but I

didn

't do anything with Mel Gibson again, I didn't say anything really bad, there were a lot worse things I could have done, it was fun, you know, what I do about his public behavior. right, that's it, you know, um, but no, that joke where Will Smith punched someone was the sweetest Islamist joke in the world, yeah, no one, I mean, it's not disrespectful, right, it wasn't even , it wasn't, it's disposable, it was. a little tug as you walk like that and that was the insult, it wasn't and she rolled her eyes and that was it, he had to go and yeah, go and be a man, it's weird, it was still weird, yeah, like they.

He walks back like Mr. Jefferson, although yes, he really did. You met Chris Rock. What does it weigh? 135 lbs. Yeah, he's a little guy, I mean, little, yeah, he's little. Yeah, yeah, it was also something about the slap that I'm not. a psychologist or a body expert but I didn't want to hit him he got there and he thought I have to hit him now and you see him you see him lean back and just touch his chin it was almost like I was leaving during the

will

process I mean Chris

actually

he had his hands behind his back and he leaned in because that's the last thing in the world you think is going to be something funny because it's Will Smith and Will is funny. right, it started out funny and it's live television and he's the greatest actor in the world, but he immediately became funny uh Chris, he immediately said something funny, yeah, I hated it, I'm sorry because he really stalled, he messed up the next line.

I've been beaten, whatever it is, it's embarrassing, yes, very embarrassing, there's nothing to be ashamed of, I mean, but it's embarrassing, but no one helped them, no one, yes, they didn't know what had

happened

. I think the first time I had to rewind it twice to make sure it wasn't a little, yeah, I had to rewind like that, it's not a little because I knew it was a little when he started saying keep your yeah, yeah, and you could see that I was adrenalized, yes, yes, that was again. It was like she had years of this, yeah, you know what I mean, yeah, absolutely, yeah, it wasn't that joke, that joke was like that, yeah, she's always been Chris with them at the last few Oscars too, but It wasn't even hard. not at all, but it built up and his anger built up.

I don't think he was crazy, it was about everything else in his life, yeah, yeah, that moment was about everything else, yeah, and the good that was happening, he doesn't know how. deal with the good because he's in the front row about to win an Oscar, maybe probably because you have to run for that, like the foreign presidency.
