Summary
Will Smith was not only a big hit at the Oscars, but he delivered one too! He won his first Best Actor award, but seriously… is anybody gonna remember that? When comedian Chris Rock made a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith’s bald head, Will took matters into his own hands and got a little slap happy. After years of dull ceremonies and dwindling ratings, Oscar excitement returned with a vengeance. And while Will made Oscars history (and became our third most downloaded episode ever!), we all wondered if his career might be history too!

| 1:24.4 | smacked Chris Rock on live television. Yeah everyone's talking about it |
