Will Smith, 53, was the butt of several jokes at the Awards last night. The Men In Black actor sparked controversy after he slapped Chris Rock, 57, live on stage at the two weekends ago.
Grammy Awards host Trevor Noah, 38, poked fun at Will last night following his now infamous altercation with comedian Chris.
Trevor, along with a number of his fellow celebrities, took to the stage yesterday to make quips at the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air star’s expense.
Chaos ensued at the Oscars a week ago when Will walked up to Chris and slapped him after the comedian made a joke about his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, 50.
Following the slap, Will returned to his seat only to yell repeatedly at Chris, telling him: “Keep my wife’s name out your f***ing mouth.”

LeVar Burton, 65, who hosted the premiere ceremony ahead of the main event, went viral for the moment he introduced guest presenter, comedian Nate Bargatze, 43.
As he welcomed Nate to the stage, LeVar remarked: "Our next presenter is a comedian, if you know what I mean.

With reference to Will’s slap, he quipped: “They said comedians have to wear these now at award shows during their joke parts."
On March 27, viewers were shocked when Will struck Chris across the face and yelled expletives at him following a joke the comedian made about his wife.
Chris referenced Jada’s decision to shave her head, which she had previously admitted felt “heartbreaking” for her to do.
Referencing the 1997 action film G.I. Jane, starring Demi Moore, who shaved her head for the role, Chris quipped: “Jada, I love you. G.I. Jane 2, can’t wait to see you.”
