Will SmithIt looks like he’ll never be able to live up to his Oscars clap… because a fellow actor just mentioned it at the Emmys, making fun of the same name.
The creator of “Slow Horses” – also mentioned Will Smith — just won an Emmy for writing the series … and when he got to the microphone, he couldn’t resist calling the most famous person by his own name. ‘
Smith says, “Relax first, despite my name I come in peace.”
Will’s joke got a big laugh before he continued with the thank you… so it looks like Smith wasn’t late to the joke – even though the incident happened about two and a half years ago.
Of course, WS was referring to movie star Will Smith hit Chris Rock at the Oscars in 2022 after CR made a joke about Smith’s wife Jada Pinkett Smith.
The viral moment shocked the world and made Will the butt of jokes for months… and even saw him banned from Hollywood for a while.

A lot has happened since then… and Jada and Will admit that it has actually alienated and it was that way for years before he punched Chris — and Will’s ‘Bad Boy 4’ blown up this summershowing that people have left behind the bad taste the blow left behind.
It seems the jokes are still resonating with audiences… as long as Will Smith says them, we guess.
