Jane\u201d-themed joke aimed at his wife, Jada Pinkett-Smith \u2013 during the 94th Academy Awards presentation. He has since resigned from the Academy, and the organization has <a href=\"https:\/\/dailywire.com\/news\/will-smith-banned-from-attending-oscars-for-ten-years-over-chris-rock-slap\/\">banned him<\/a> from attending the Oscars for a further ten years.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIs that a punishment?\u201d Jost asked. \u201cHe can still be nominated, and even win an award. He can even go to the after party. He just doesn\u2019t have to attend the four-hour ceremony where someone is definitely going to make fun of his wife again.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHonestly, I think a real punishment would be to make Will Smith host next year\u2019s Oscars. Because, trust me, nothing will make you question your choices in life more than hosting an awards show,\u201d Jost added.<\/p>\n<p>The \u201cWeekend Update\u201d host went on to mention Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky\u2019s video message at the Grammy Awards, saying, \u201cIt was a heartfelt, impassioned plea to help the people of Ukraine but missed an opportunity for a legendary G.I. Jane joke.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Prior to the the Oscars, cohost Amy Schumer told talk show host and actress Drew Barrymore that she had wanted to share a video message or arrange a remote appearance for Zelensky as well, but that the show\u2019s producers had said no.<\/p>\n<p>As The Daily Wire <a href=\"https:\/\/dailywire.com\/news\/oscars-co-host-amy-schumer-just-wants-one-guest-to-make-a-cameo\/\">reported<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>\u201cI think there is definitely pressure in one way to be like, \u2018This is a vacation, let people forget, we just want to have this night,\u2019 but it is like well we have so many eyes and ears on this show,\u201d Schumer explained. \u201cI think it\u2019s a great opportunity to, you know, at least comment on a couple of things. I have some jokes that kind of highlight the sort of current condition. I mean, there are so many awful things happening that it\u2019s like \u2014 it seems hard to focus on which one.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>She then told Barrymore that she had already pitched the idea, but that the show\u2019s producers had turned her down.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cI actually pitched, I wanted to find a way to have Zelensky like satellite in or make a tape or something just because so many eyes get on \u2014 there are so many eyes on the Oscars.\u00a0I am not afraid to go there, but it\u2019s not me producing the Oscars,\u201d she said.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cThat\u2019s why I love you,\u201d Barrymore replied.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><i>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest growing conservative media companies for breaking news, investigative reporting, sports, podcasts, in-depth analysis, books, and entertainment for a reason: because we believe in what we do.
