FArts!!! freaking Genius!!..

[@jasonmoss7990]

Will Smith just pulled a Mike Ryan and played all of you fools………(before winning an Oscar and getting more money)

[@finallyarturo3194]

Fenius!

[@richtoledo9899]

Billy crushed this hour. Sting like a butterfly🤣.

[@PoppaCYS]

Billy is the greatest. I spit out my coffee when he turned Will Smith into a Stone Cold Steve Austin bit.

[@craigwack4773]

A great irony was that GI Jane was running on BBC America opposite the Oscars

[@safik20001]

I love the contrast of how super into the Will Smith-Chris Rock conversation everyone was but then when it moves to the Miami Elite 8 game, Mike, Stu and Dan are the only ones participating and everyone else is doing other things

[@spenser6353]

Guess Chris Rock is more interesting

[@kayceaddison5475]

Billy needs an honorary Oscar for something. Fantastic segment from him. 🤣😂🤣

[@slayer6867]

6 non melanated people talking about Chris will and black issues, got to love the internet

[@leslieg.9213]

Who would have thought Will Smith would be the rapper to turn the Oscars into the Source Awards?! Strange times indeed.

#oscarssowhite It feels like only yesterday.

[@v.m.5175]

the one day Roy isn’t there lol

[@ianm5265]

Wouldn’t make a difference, if he said something that didn’t agree with Dan and maga mike they would’ve talked over him like they always do

[@pluturner893]

Two Americas. Black people are loving Will's reaction. Everyone else bothered by it. Talk shit get hit. - Ancient African Proverb

"it was a GI Jane joke"

[@zombiesnstuff84]

It was fake 😒...idk how anyone believes this was real at all

[@chitownhustler3372]

This black man isn't loving Will's reaction. Makes him look weak and emotional, 2 things that a man shouldn't strive for.

The only way that could have been better is if Will had slapped him with a Twisted Tea.

[@Filthykur]

This is Billy's finest hour. He's looking out for the future of the Oscars

[@travissmith6380]

He is willing to slap Chris rock over a joke, hope he had something similar for that youngster who was sleeping with Jada

[@jasonmoss7990]

Just another “red table” moment to keep the smiths in your comments

[@MrBlitzed111]

I've been waiting on this SINCE the slap!!!!

Thought Dan said his wife woke him up with gas

[@Jason-zt1rj]

Big Will just went all BOOM SHAKE SHAKE SHAKE THE ROOM!

[@seandeutschland6500]

If that was any other comedian a little bigger then Chris I don't see him doing that. Punk move by will and rock handled himself as good as u can in that situation

[@chicagogr81]

I'm stunned that people think that was real. The Oscar's are coming off their lowest viewership ever. Of course that was a publicity stunt and it worked.

[@slappydoodle]

what does will Smith gain. an what does rock gain? either way lose lose. Smith looks like a psychopath an rock looks like a punk

[@156football]

Homer Mike calling saint Mary's and Miami the same thing. Lol

"I don't know what the fallout from this alopecia joke will be." Here's a safe bet: hair.

[@offscreenlongo]

Meadowlark needs to create, then increase a billy budget(budget) for wild production antics and ideas. Just to add my 2 cents to the convo, I think we aren't giving will ENOUGH credit. Typically when things get physical, it's disorganized chaos. He made his point and sat back down, they shouted but Chris started that exchange(understandably) but it's not like will tried to straight fight him. At the end of the day, they're entertainers and they did that, no one got hurt. Everybody won, Chris as stated will use this as fodder for years. Everyone's talking about the Oscars, they won. And I gotta counter dans point about this tarnishing his night. I think in his eyes it enhanced it, for principle reasons. But even legacy reasons, they do this shit every year, every year someone gets that award. It's forgettable except to add it to an achievement list on wiki. No one will ever forget the night Will Smith won his 1st Oscar, WIN.

[@slappydoodle]

your right nobody will ever forget will smith slapping chris rock. but him winning doesn't even matter it will b one of those after questions di he win that yr sort of thing. I just dont get it. it was a benign comment that will was laughing at then he looked at Jada and she said u better go slap him otherwise my throat is gonna b slapped by another guy's balls.

[@PooWop360]

I'm with Tony

[@RipCityChief]

“That’s a really bad assault” whatta fuckin joke Jessica….

[@reason18]

did y'all really need to do an hour deep dive on this?

[@trentstanley5475]

WoW ?? The Oscars are back,, Rick James would of been proud of Will lol

[@jmcook96]

So.. there is a rumor that Will Smith cheated on Jada with Demi. That joke might have also shaded on that

[@petropetty]

it was staged these are actors & look how much Oscars are being talked about. Come on

[@joshix3242]

You're joking, obviously.

[@Kyborn3]

Jessica doesn't speak for all women.

[@Jason-zt1rj]

Charlie Mack would have kept this from escalating

[@mlyle1000mobile]

Waiiit a minute. Just A segment ago stugotz was saying will Smith was in a position of having to defend his wife and Dan was flabbergasted at the suggestion. Now Dan is saying Will was in a position to have to defend his wife and stugotz is like no that's too much??? These two just literally flipped flopped positions on the same show.

why everyone making it race related? for 1 idk if it was real or not, but either way, white or black if u feel someone upsets ur wife its go time.

[@rogerloera7133]

Mike Ryan is Jessica’s work husband

[@4evergr8tful]

1st August Alsina is a r&b artist not a rapper I know Mike has a hard time when it comes to black men 2nd it's not up to us to decide what another person's level of respect is

[@sjaxs30]

Why do u guys say he laughed at the joke he was laughing at the joke before

[@thefakechris]

Would Will Smith have done that if Chris Rock was white

[@christinanippert3216]

U guys are literally going to force me out as a listener. I get pissed and turn it off only to come back a few days later. But these happen with such greater frequency it will sadly soon be permanent.

[@mmachula1]

A bunch of non-black folks critiquing black culture. No Roy (not that it would matter since Dan talks over him). I love Lebatard but this is why people critize him when he talks about race! While he is allowed to say what he wants on his show, Dan falls into that neo-liberal "woke" category.

[@mmachula1]

Also Mike Ryan critiquing Chris Rock's comedy is rich

[@mmachula1]

There Dan goes on again.

Just overall disappointed in the show.

I love Will Smith. He defended his wife. What would you do Dan?

[@Bruss813]

Not walk up on stage like he wasn't going to fight and then basically "sucker" slap him.

[@curtisgowdy1164]

Will was wrong this looks bad for the first black man to produce the Oscar's

[@christinanippert3216]

This show will break down and find a way to fit racially motivated "whatever" into every segment but not here. Ya'll just sit there and bang the same drum. Jessica blurts out her wokeness not even getting Chris' joke. Slow down take a breath. But for real Dan you fucked up. This show is doomed.

[@chitownhustler3372]

And now the Academy committee are discussing stripping him of his award because he got into his emotions with his female energy. Damn shame.

[@walterdudedonny]

"Female energy"?!!!!! Really? Give it up already.

[@whodat787]

Scripted stunt. This entire situation is working out wayyy too perfect for the Oscars. They needed something shocking to get people to talk about their dead award show and Will Smith slapping Chris Rock on stage was perfect for that. And now, they're getting exactly what they wanted. All over tv, all over the internet, and all over America everybody is talking about the slap at the Oscars. And the masses are eating it up, exactly according to plan.... 🤦🏿‍♂️
