John noted, “It was like at first you were thinking oh my god this is a skit. Oh my god wait a minute there’s no punch line. Wait this is a punch not a punch line. And you’re like oh that’s really unfortunate. The entire audience almost had similar reactions to the event.

While talking about Will Smith’s speech, he said an apology from Smith was expected. Will apologized to the Academy, but not to Chris Rock as a 61-year-old actor expected. He noted, “You know, that would have been great because I mean I thought Will’s performance was amazing and I’m sorry he tarnished it with that behavior, you know.”

John said everyone should be open to a little humor about themselves. Taking life too seriously won’t help. However, the reaction of the organizers of the Academy is still awaited.
