Will Smith gets banned from SNL because of Chris Rock slapgate

Hollywood star Will Smith is apparently not welcome back on “Saturday Night Live”. The actor is reportedly being permanently banned after slapping comedian Chris Rock at the 2022 Academy Awards.

The NBC sketch series is reportedly banning the actor permanently following the Oscars slap, reports aceshowbiz.
According to Radar Online, the “King Richard” star will never be invited back to “SNL” after what he did to Rock at the March event. The comedian is a former important part of the show, having starred in it from 1990 to 1993.

“Smith will never ever be invited back to ‘SNL’ after what he did to Chris,” a source told the site. “The show is a temple comedian, and no one wants him around anymore.”

“Forget hosting, Will won’t even be able to get a ticket to sit in the audience anymore. He’s not welcome.”
The show’s producers are allegedly also worried that if Smith comes to the show again, other big celebrities will refuse to join in the future.

“If Will Smith was invited back, ‘SNL’ would never get another big celebrity ever again,” the source explains.
“Stars would rightly boycott the show if he was welcomed inside Studio 8H.. Smith slapped Rock at the 2022 Academy Awards in March over the latter’s joke about Jada Pinkett Smith’s shaved head.

He then shouted at the comedian, who was presenting onstage, twice to “keep my wife’s name out of your f**king mouth!
