It's been a year, but the power of 'The Slap' lives on, returning to dominate the one-liners on Sunday at 2023's Academy Awards.
At the 2022's Oscars, Will Smith suddenly stormed the stage and smacked comedian Chris Rock, who had made an off-colour joke about Smith's wife, the actor Jada Pinkett Smith.
The hypothetical perpetrator would have to get past a bevy of superheroes, Kimmel joked, including the Mandalorian , Spider-Man , and "the Fabel…man" .Smith still took home the award for best actor that night, for his starring role in King Richard, but has been banned from attending the Oscars for a decade as a result of his actions.
"Five Irish actors are nominated tonight, which means the odds of another fight on stage just went way up," the late-night funny-man said.
