Wanda Sykes says 'hell no' to hosting the Oscars again after 'shocking' Will Smith slap:
Wanda Sykes has slapped down hosting the Oscars a second time after Will Smith smacked Chris Rock live on stage during the 94th Academy Awards. The infamous incident happened when Smith, who would go on to win his first Best Actor Oscar for his role in King Richard, stormed the stage and struck the comedian for cracking a joke about wife Jada Pinkett Smith's shaved head.
Sykes, who co-hosted with Amy Schumer and Regina Hall, was not on stage when Rock made his"G.I. Jane 2" joke about Pinkett Smith while guest-presenting the award for best documentary. Like many viewers watching live, Sykes was"shocked" when Smith struck Rock before yelling from the audience:"Keep my wife's name out of your f—ing mouth."
In March, the veteran comedian said she was"traumatized" over the March 27 incident between Smith and Rock. Sykes added,"And for them to let him stay in that room and enjoy the rest of the show and accept his award, I was like, 'How gross is this? This is just the wrong message.'"
