Comedian Chris Rock has weighed in on Will Smith's 10-year Oscars ban, which was announced last Friday (April 8).

That same night, at his stand-up show in Indio, California, Rock addressed the issue of him being struck at last month's Oscars ceremony by Smith after cracking a joke about Smith's wife, Jada Pinkett Smith.
