Six days. This happened a week ago. Saturday Night Live host Jerrod Carmichael asked the audience of That Moment at the Oscars if it felt like it happened years ago.
In his opening monologue on Saturday, Carmichael addressed the incident when Will Smith slapped Chris Rock onstage at the award ceremony, without directly saying any of those particular words or names.
He began his monologue by saying he was not going to talk about it. I kept talking about it. I kept thinking about it. I don't want to talk about it. You can make me talk about it, but I don't want to talk about it.
He said he was asked to address the moment by SNL head Lorne Michaels, who said the nation needs to heal.
Heal the nation? He said that he had been gay for 48 hours before coming out in his special. I can't even heal my family because I have so many gay cousins.
