Now, thank me and shake my hand (Now, he could be anywhere)

April 2022

“When I first read the headline that Will Smith has been banned, I thought this was the worst punishment ever. I was like, ‘10 years? The Oscars? This is ridiculous.’ But I got into the details, and I realize he gets to keep his Oscar, and he can still win Oscars even though he’s banned. So in many ways, this isn’t a punishment. This is a favor. Will Smith doesn’t have to go to the ceremony. He doesn’t have to dress up, he doesn’t have to sit through a bunch of boring awards that he doesn’t care about. He doesn’t have to pretend to be happy when he loses – I wish I could get banned from the Emmys! Every year I have to go and act like I might beat John Oliver. It’s a nightmare!” —Trevor Noah

“I also think they should have at least consulted Chris Rock before choosing the punishment, you know? Because if Will were still going to the Oscars, that’s at least four hours where Chris Rock knows where he is. Now, he could be anywhere.” —Trevor Noah

“In all honesty, though, I don’t think they should’ve banned Will Smith at all. I think they should’ve hired Will Smith to replace the wrap-it-up music at awards shows. Do you know how quickly winners will finish their speeches when they see Will Smith watching them from the side of the stage?” —Trevor Noah
