Laugh After Dark Unfiltered is a new podcast featuring the producers of the hit comedy series Laugh After Dark Robert E. Lee and Kelsey Borlan along with host Charlie Wilson & a non-stop roster of unapologetic comedians discussing their hot takes and inside scoops on all things comedy.
In today’s episode, the LADU cast is joined by comedian Jimmy McMurrin as they discuss the Chris Rock/Will Smith fiasco from the 2022 Oscars awards ceremony. Many wondered what the changes to this year’s Oscars would look like, but Sunday’s ceremony brought a completely unrelated surprise: Best actor winner Will Smith walked on stage and slapped presenter Chris Rock across the face after Rock made a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith’s shaved head. Do you agree with Chris Rock’s freedom of speech or was Will Smith justified in his actions when it involves the honor of his loved ones?
