“It was so shocking," the two-time Oscar host said in his monologue Monday night. "The only thing I can really compare it to is when Mike Tyson bit Evander Holyfield’s ears. Even Kanye was like, ‘you went on stage and did what at the award show?’." Kimmel went on to recall the “weirdest part": Smith laughing at Chris Rock's joke. “But then he must have looked over and saw that Jada was not amused and is like, ‘uh oh, I better do something," he said, adding: "Boy did he do something,” commented Kimmel. “In one stunning moment, the guy went from #Oscarssowhat to #Oscarssowhaaaat?!?!?! No one could have predicted the most controversial movie of 2022 would be G.I. Jane, but it was. This was the Hollywood version of your drunk uncle starting a fight, ruining the wedding and then standing up and giving a long toast to the bride and groom." Ultimately, Kimmel proposed that the only way to resolve the dispute is with "The Comedy Central Roast of Will Smith" hosted by Chris Rock.
