One year after Will Smith slapped Chris Rock at the Oscars, the comic has responded in the best way he knows how: through a comedy special.
Rock's special was streamed live Saturday night from Baltimore on Netflix.
Rock told the Baltimore audience that he took the hit like a prizefighter at last year's award show, and the comedian joked his ears are still ringing. Minutes later, Smith won the Oscar as best actor, but the damage to his career became apparent with the release of his next movie. With distance comes perspective, which is exactly what the man who was hit tried to provide on Saturday night.
