Jay Leno is the latest comedian to react to Will Smith slapping Chris Rock at the 2022 Oscars.

The 71-year-old late night star opened up in an interview with the Palm Beach Daily News ahead of a standup performance.

“To me, the thing that’s most disturbing wasn’t the slap, because he was kind of smirking after he slapped (Rock),” he said.

“It was the yelling of the obscenities. Then you go, ‘Whoa. What’s going on here?’ This is real anger.”

He also reacted to the decision to ban Will Smith for a decade from the ceremony, and to launch a formal investigation.

“What are you investigating?” he said.

“It had to be the most recorded assault in history. I saw the back of his shoe, I saw Chris’ ear. There were so many cameras on this incident. What are you investigating? I know sometimes things are just what they appear to be.”

Find out what another comedian just said about the incident.

Amy Schumer revealed how Leonardo DiCaprio reacted to hearing her joke about him at the 2022 Academy Awards back in late March.

If you don’t remember, during her co-hosting gig, Amy said about Leonardo, “He’s done so much to fight climate change and leave behind a cleaner, greener planet…for his girlfriends. Because he’s older and they’re younger. Okay, you get it.”

The Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences has announced that Will Smith will be banned from all Academy events, including the Oscars, for the next 10 years.

The 53-year-old actor will not be permitted to attend the event until 2033, though it’s not clear if he can still be nominated for awards during that period.

The Academy’s Board of Governors met on Friday (April 8) to vote on the matter and they just released a statement. Will previously announced that he has resigned as a member of the Academy, giving up his privilege to vote for the awards.

The disciplinary action against Will comes after he slapped presenter Chris Rock in the face and screamed profanities at him during a moment at the 2022 Oscars.
