In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Jimmy Kimmel was asked what he will do if somebody comes up on stage to slap him. To this, the comedian joked that first he would size up the person and if Kimmel is bigger than they are he would ‘beat the sh*t out of him on the live television. But if it is the Rock, then he would start running.
Jimmy Kimmel says that he does not want to make a whole monologue out of the previous year slap incident but it will be weird not to mention it. Kimmel says, ‘Well, whatever I say about it, it’s going to have to be great, right?’
Jimmy Kimmel was famously at the edge of the 2017 #envelopegate scandal at the Oscars ceremony. In this scandal the presenters Faye Dunaway and Warren Beatty were given the wrong category envelope as they announced Best Picture winners. They mistakenly said that La La Land is the winner instead of Moonlight who actually won the category. This raised a major upset amongst the audience.
