Rock won’t rule out hosting again

It’s never say never for Chris Rock, who revealed that he hasn’t ruled out hosting the Oscars again three years after the infamous Will Smith slap.

When asked if he would preside over Hollywood’s biggest night again after the physical altercation during the live 2022 telecast, the “Saturday Night Live” alum said “you never know.” Rock, who hosted the Academy Awards in 2005 and 2016, was presenting the 2022 award for Best Documentary when he made an unscripted joke about Jada Pinkett Smith’s shaved head. On the red carpet for Vanity Fair’s post-Oscars party on Sunday night, Rock shared: “This is what I would say, the most miserable people on earth are people that can’t forgive. And not just people, you have to forgive yourself sometimes. So, hey, you never know.”
