Jimmy Kimmel had some hilarious commentary on Kanye West's attention-grabbing moment at the Grammys red carpet, suggesting that instead of Chris Rock, Will Smith could have brought the house down by giving Kanye a good slap.
During a recent episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live, the host wasted no time diving into the juicy gossip from the weekend, focusing on West and Bianca Censori's bold entrance at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.
As cameras flashed, Censori made a statement by shedding her fur coat to reveal a barely there minidress—with no undergarments in sight. The duo reportedly caused quite a stir before being escorted out, leaving the internet abuzz.
Kimmel drew a comparison between this scandalous episode and Will Smith's infamous Oscars moment in 2022, playfully suggesting that all would have been forgiven if Smith had given Kanye a taste of his own medicine on the red carpet.
"If only Will Smith had dashed out and given Kanye a good ol' slap, we might be seeing him hosting next year's Oscars," Kimmel quipped.
Smith's appearance at the Grammys was a significant one, being his first major awards show since the incident at the Oscars where he clashed with Rock over a joke about his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith. The fallout from that night resulted in a prolonged Oscars ban for Smith and sparked intense public debate.
But Kimmel didn't just stop at Smith's redemption narrative; he also humorously tackled Kanye West's unexpected reappearance on the scene, providing a colorful commentary on his presence at the event.
"Another surprise guest graced the Grammys red carpet—none other than Kanye West," quipped Kimmel. "Accompanied only by his wife, they certainly turned heads. She opted for... well, nothing."
Kimmel even drew a comparison between this moment and the infamous 2004 Super Bowl wardrobe malfunction involving Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake, joking about the contrasting reactions to the incidents.
"From Janet's split-second slip to a completely bare red carpet entrance at the Grammys, times have certainly changed," Kimmel added, painting a picture of the frenzy surrounding Bianca Censori's bold attire.
