Piers Morgan is joined by comedian Bassem Youssef, columnist Madeline Grant and TalkTV contributor Paula Rhone-Adrien to discuss Chris Rock's recent Netflix special, in which he discusses the infamous Will Smith slap at last year's Oscars and whether comedy can be cancelled.

Bassem begins by explaining that Chris Rock got his revenge on Will Smith by signing a $40 million contract with Netflix for his stand-up comedy special. Piers suggests however that many people would feel outraged and perhaps slap someone mocking their wife's alopecia. Madeline counteracts that violence isn't the answer and that Will Smith should have been a better example to his children.

    Who is here after Bassem destroyed Morgan ?
  • @sallya.6944
    Chris Rock handled it with dignity and grace. Good for him for dealing with it on his own terms and not making himself a victim. Deep respect for Chris Rock.
  • Deepest respect to Chris Rock. He had every right to talk about 'the slap'.
  • @zubair.khan_
    Who's here after watching Bassem Youssef completely destroying Piers Morgan on Israel-Palestine Issue ?
  • @bevvyjune4753
    Will Smith conveniently forgot that he's also mocked people as part of his comedy. Did he expect to get attacked for his jokes?
  • Chris was extremely tolerant and patient. He didn't say anything that was not already known. Ultimately, he had the last word, mike drop. Awesome!
  • @ckwind1971
    The Netflix special was brilliant! He commanded that stage like the master he is. The whole thing was hilarious but the ending about Will was the best thing ever. All hail King Rock!
  • Was an hilarious way to get back at bullies or rather “the victim” love Chris rock ❤😂😂
  • @ritagoetz9888
    I loved Chris Rocks comeback to the IDIOTS PUNCH. Keep doing what you do Chris.
  • @JP-jz4uq
    Ridiculous, Smith was laughing at the joke himself. He got up only after his wife gave him a death stare.
  • This is the best revenge I've ever seen my whole life 🤣🤣🤣 this sunk in deeper than an arrest or a lawsuit
  • @Razshows
    I had no idea that Chris Rock is such a great comedian until Will Smith slapped him.
  • @pepunar
    Bassem said the most optimistic thing I have heard in 4 years: Comedy will survive cancel culture!
  • @hahahaha3492
    Interesting to see Piers Morgan so happy to see Bassem here but he acts completely different to him in his recent interview with him about genocide in Palestine….you can see in this video that he lets Bassem speak and doesnt interrupt him on this one
  • @JT-qd5uj
    He wasn't mocking her, that's where Piers and others get it wrong, he was telling a joke, he is a comedian, whether you or Will found it funny or not, isn't the point.

  • @markymark6918
    It wasnt about money, I pretty much think Chris knew what he wanted to do with Will Smith and he has done just that!
  • @SonyaPaterson
    Will Smith is lucky that Chris Rock didn’t press charges.For that he should be gracious and let Chris Rock do his job! He’s a great comedian. Jada and Will need to be humble now so Will can make a comeback
  • I hear that Will is embarrassed and hurt by what Chris said about him and his family in the Netflix special. He feels that it’s distasteful of Netflix to give Chris the platform to insult Jada …He is so self righteous and a hypocrite..
