Marlon Wayans has another smashing comedy special coming up, we say smashing because he talks about Will Smith smashing Chris Rock.

“It was my fault” &#8211; HBO Special Takes Ownership of Will Smith Slapgate

If you thought that jokes about Will Smith slapping Chris Rock at the Oscars
will not find their way into 2023, then you are wrong. Even before a host could
joke about it in the ceremony, which is not likely to happen, Marlon Wayans used
it as his joke of choice to promote his upcoming comedy special with HBO.

The comedian and talented actor gave his two cents on why the Oscar Slapgate
happened. Wayans has proven with his previous comedic specials that he knows how
to make a laugh out of the most absurd experiences. However, fans are over the
Slapgate ordeal for the most part. Will Marlon Wayans succeed in making the Will
Smith Slapgate joke funny again?


‘WILL SMITH IS NOT RESPONSIBLE’ – MARLON WAYANS ON THE OSCAR SLAPGATE

When Eddie Murphy got up on stage and took a jibe at Will Smith

at the Golden Globes, fans could not help but laugh out loud. However, the
laughs were largely dependent on the fact that a renowned actor like Murphy was
making the joke. However, fans are done and dried off comedians making jokes
about it. That was until Marlon Wayans released the trailer of his upcoming
stand-up comedy special. While the comic does mention the slapgate, it does not
form the crux of his special.



In fact, he only mentioned the Slapgate to talk about himself. “It had nothing
to do with Will, nothing to do with Jada, nothing do with Chris. It’s my fault,”
Wayans claimed before naming himself God’s favorite and justifying the title
with a God loves me. Furthermore, the comic explored how all the big three
involved in the ordeal, Jada Pinkett Smith, Will Smith, and Chris Rock, have
played a huge part in his life.


HOW IS WAYANS RELATED TO CHRIS ROCK?

The comic through his brilliant storytelling took the fans all the way back to
his teenage days, where he talked about having a crush on Jada Pinkett Smith. He
further touched upon a farcical tale about how he got rejected by her. The
highlight, however, was when Wayans remembered his early stand-up comedy days.
“Chris has always been like a mean stepbrother to me,” and got his ultimate
revenge by yelling, “Where’s the joke at?”

Meet Aliza Siddiqui, a Hollywood News reporter at Netflix Junkie. Her love affair with Hollywood began with Anne Hathaway and The Princess Diaries, but it was the thrilling climax of Don’t Look Up that cemented her infatuation with the industry and its filmmaking. Aliza's journey into entertainment reporting began with her time at Otakukart, where she wrote over a thousand articles. Her writing style is cheeky and engaging, as seen in her report "Somewhat Alarmed," where she narrates Jimmy Kimmel's hilarious story of how Jason Bateman tricked him into gecko-sitting. Aliza's ultimate dream is to study and critique films that capture her imagination and the attention of movie-goers worldwide. When she is not busy binge-watching Sacha Baron Cohen movies and The Office, she loves to curl up with a weathered copy of a Khaled Hosseini or Indu Sundaresan book.
