Guillermo Rodriguez pulled off a Will Smith jokes at the Oscar&#039;s champagne carpet while Jimmy Kimmel hosted the 2023 event.

“Keep my wife’s name out of…” &#8211; Jimmy Kimmel’s Famed Side Kick Guillermo Rodriguez Pulled Off a Will Smith in the Most Hilarious Way at Oscars 2023 Champagne Carpet

This year’s Oscar night turned out to be magnificent, especially since no one
got slapped. While expectations of the Will Smith were mentioned, even that ship
crossed smoothly. With the crisis team on board, Jimmy Kimmel took the stage to
host the event. Accompanying him to the event was his right-hand man, Guillermo
Rodriguez.

While Kimmel warned people about not repeating the slap gate incident, Guillermo
was in a rather different mood. The former security guard who joked his way to
the Oscars mingled around with celebrities on the champagne carpet. Looking for
the perfect opportunity, he made his move to ‘pull off a Will Smith’.


HOW GUILLERMO GAVE A HILARIOUS WILL SMITH REFRESHER AT THE 2023 OSCAR

The Jimmy Kimmel Live hosts basically took over the Academy Awards ceremony this
year, be it on the stage or on the carpet. In a fancy gold suit with a bow,
Guillermo Rodriguez fished on the champagne carpet to interview his favorite
celebrities. While interviewing in his own quirky style, he came across singer
and actor Lenny Kravitz. To start off his trap joke, he told the singer how his
wife is a big fan of his. The presenter then asked the singer to look at the
camera and call his wife’s name Sarah, and the entertainer happily obliged.



With his smile still wide, Guillermo then asked Kravitz to do a favor. “What’s
that?” asked the ‘Low’ singer. “Can you keep my wife’s name out of your f*cking
mouth?” he replied, pulling off the Will Smith joke. Considering how it was the
trending line of 2022, the singer laughed it off as well.

The infamous dialogue came out of Will Smith’s mouth

along with the slap as Chris Rock made fun of Jada Pinkett Smith. A proud Jimmy
Kimmel shared Guillermo’s clip with his audience after returning from being an
Oscar host to being the talk show’s host.


JIMMY KIMMEL ALSO DID NOT SPARE THE SLAPGATE INCIDENT IN HIS OSCAR MONOLOGUE

Kimmel was likely prepared for any problems in case he offends someone. But he
still took a jibe at last year’s Best Actor winner and mentioned how there is a
security team if anyone chooses to attack him for an offensive joke. The Oscars
this year was not only unique for many first-time winners, but with the double
entertainment of Kimmel and Rodriguez.
