YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

The producer of the Oscar ceremony telecast, Will Packer, has said that nominee Will Smith had been asked to leave after he slapped the show’s host, Chris Rock, and that he had urged officials not to “physically remove” the actor at Rock’s request. But should the host of a show, even one who’d just been assaulted, be responsible for deciding what happens to the assailant at the show? And is Packer’s explanation plausible?

Jimmy and American comedian Kurt Metzger ponder these and other related questions.
