Jimmy Kimmel has congratulated the Oscars’s “very funny” co-hosts Amy Schumer, Regina Hall and Wanda Sykes amid the “unpleasantness” of Will Smith hitting Chris Rock.
Kimmel wrote: “I know the big story is the slap, but congratulations to Amy Schumer, Wanda Sykes and Regina Hall who were very funny.”
Earlier in the ceremony, Regina Hall – who is hosting the ceremony alongside Amy Schumer and Wanda Sykes – poked fun at Smith and Pinkett Smith’s marriage during a ‘hilarious’ skit.
Following the punch, a joke Rock made about Pinkett Smith at the 2016 Oscars resurfaced online.
