SNL has a field day making fun of Oscars slap and mocking Will Smith

As expected, “Saturday Night Live” went all in on last weekend’s Oscars slap. The instantly infamous moment was dissected in the cold open; during host Jerrod Carmichael’s opening monologue; in a separate sketch skewering Will Smith; and with many, many jokes throughout “Weekend Update” from Colin Jost and Michael Che.

For anyone who somehow missed the unstoppable coverage, Jost informed viewers that Smith slapped comedian Chris Rock onstage at the Academy Awards on Sunday after Rock made a joke at the expense of the actor’s wife, Jada Pinkett Smith. (The latest update amid the fallout was Friday night, when Smith resigned from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.)

Jost mocked the academy over reports that producers had asked Rock if it was okay if Smith stayed. (”Hey, are you cool if the guy who just attacked you hangs around for a while? You don’t want to make him mad again.”) But he admitted it was understandable that no one knew what to do in the moment. “Even people at the Oscars were Googling, ‘Did Will Smith just slap Chris Rock?’ ” Jost said. “I think we should just acknowledge that was one of the craziest things we will ever see in our lives.”

Meanwhile, in his monologue, host Carmichael impressively managed to never once actually utter the word “slap.”

“I’m not going to talk about it,” Carmichael said. “I want to be clear up top. I talked about it enough. Kept talking about it. Kept thinking about it. I don’t want to talk about it. And you can’t make me talk about it.”

Clearly, he kept talking about it
