“Weekend Update” co-host Colin Jost found it hilarious that Will Smith has been banned for 10 years from the Oscars as punishment for striking Chris Rock on stage.
“Is that a punishment?” asked a perplexed Jost on “Saturday Night Live’s” faux news segment.
“He can still be nominated and even win an award. He can even go to the after-party. He just doesn’t have to attend the four-hour ceremony where someone is definitely going to make fun of his wife again,” Jost quipped.
A real punishment would be to make Smith host next year’s Oscars, said Jost, who hosted the 2018 Emmys with “Update” co-anchor Michael Che.
“Trust me,” Jost said. “Nothing will make you question your choices in life more than hosting an awards show.”
