The Joe Rogan Experience
Adam Sandler and Joe Rogan have an interesting perspective on Will Smith‘s career post-Oscars slap … and, at the same time, they say it inspired Chris Rock.
Adam’s the latest guest on Joe’s super popular podcast “The Joe Rogan Experience,” and their 2-hour conversation included a 3-minute segment on the infamous 2022 Oscars moment.
Adam starts by revealing he recently talked to Chris, who he says is excited about doing stand-up comedy again … Joe interjects and says the Oscars slap was the best thing that ever happened to Chris.

The way Joe sees it … the infamous slap made Chris “like the Rock of old,” as far as his stand-up material is concerned, and Adam says it made CR’s subsequent live Netflix special “Selective Outrage” — where he addressed Will directly — feel like the Super Bowl.
Adam says the whole Oscars slap was strange and sucky … while Joe’s a little more pointed, saying it was preposterous — and revealed a lot of folks in Hollywood to be “f***ers.”
While they both see positives for Chris, the future ain’t so bright for big Willie — at least in their eyes, especially Joe’s.
Watch the clip, because while Adam and Joe acknowledge Will’s storied career … Joe says that’s all changed now. Legacy is everything.
