While Rock briefly spoke about "what happened", he did not directly mention the Oscars ceremony, the Academy or Smith. The 57-year-old, however, said he is still "kind of processing" Sunday's night infamous incident, adding he will open up about the now viral on-camera moment on his own time.
Comic Chris Rock was welcomed amid applause and two standing ovations at the comedy club where he made his first public appearance since Will Smith slapped him during the 2022 Oscars ceremony. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Rock kicked off his comedy tour at the Wilbur in Boston and received standing ovations that lasted roughly two minutes.
"You got me all misty and sh*t," the actor-comedian said. Once the crowd had quieted down, he asked, "How was your weekend?", a remark that was greeted with laughter.
