The host has spoken candidly about the shocking moment at the Oscars
April 15, 2022 - 16:31 BST Emmy Griffiths Amy Schumer has opened up about Will Smith slapping Chris Rock at the Oscars back in March, and revealed an insight into why Chris managed to remain so composed despite the shocking situation. Chatting on The Howard Stern Show, she explained:"The reason why Chris Rock could stand there, and get hit in the face, and then stay up there with composure and give his friend [Questlove] an Oscar is because he’s a comedian.
Chris has remained fairly tight-lipped about the incident and has joked during subsequent stand-up routines that he won’t be speaking about the slap until he is paid for it. Previously performing at the Fantasy Springs Resort Casino in Indio, California, he reportedly referenced the situation, saying:"I’m okay. I have a whole show, and I’m not talking about that until I get paid. Life is good. I got my hearing back.
