I've always looked young.

a fetus at that age.

I was 15, 14,

Her name was Nicole.

Now, Nicole was like,
19, 20 years old.

101

I was 15, looking seven.

00:04:46,077 --> 00:04:49,122
"You funny, Lil Wayan."
I said, "Thank you."

104
00:04:49,122 --> 00:04:50,873

I could get your number?"

She goes,
"Boy, I will break you."

- I said, "Please."
- (LAUGHTER)

107
00:04:55,169 --> 00:04:58,381
She said, "I'm 19 years old,
you are jailbait."

108
00:04:58,381 --> 00:05:01,467
I said, "You can molest me,
I won't tell nobody."

109
00:05:01,467 --> 00:05:03,970
- (LAUGHTER)
- I said, "How about this.

110
00:05:03,970 --> 00:05:05,430
How about you give me
your number

111
00:05:05,430 --> 00:05:08,474
and then I'll call you,
and when I'm 18 years old,

112

maybe we could get married?"

00:05:16,274 --> 00:05:18,317
"You know what, you are so cute.

How about this.
I'ma give you my number

00:05:20,445 --> 00:05:22,405
and you call me when you're 18."
I said, "Okay."

118
00:05:22,405 --> 00:05:25,199
So, she went down to write down
her pager number...

119
00:05:25,199 --> 00:05:29,412
- Yeah, it was that far back.
- (LAUGHTER)

120

125

Like, he looked fucked up. Ugh!

127
00:05:48,097 --> 00:05:51,184
- (LAUGHTER)
- He had a Jheri curl,

128
00:05:51,184 --> 00:05:53,144
but didn't have enough money
for all the grease...

129
00:05:53,144 --> 00:05:54,479
(LAUGHTER)

130
00:05:54,479 --> 00:05:56,022
...so it was like
dry Jheri curl,

131
00:05:56,022 --> 00:05:57,273
but he had a shag

132
00:05:57,273 --> 00:05:59,275
so the grease
would drip onto his shoulders.

133
00:05:59,275 --> 00:06:02,153
And he was like
three-different-color Black.

Like it was like a--
It was like a dull shine.

137

Nigga looking like a--
looked like a Glock 45.

138

- (LAUGHTER)
- And it wasn't an even Black.

139
00:06:13,790 --> 00:06:15,291
It was different,
it was iridescent.

140
00:06:15,291 --> 00:06:18,127
Nigga looked
like eggplant Black,

141
00:06:18,127 --> 00:06:20,254
you know, dull Black.

142
00:06:20,254 --> 00:06:21,380
He looked

- three years ago.
- (LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE)

144
00:06:29,889 --> 00:06:30,973

145
00:06:30,973 --> 00:06:34,685
and Chris has always been
like a mean stepbrother to me.

146
00:06:34,685 --> 00:06:37,313
You know, we got the same momma
but different daddies,

147
00:06:37,313 --> 00:06:40,608
and my daddy actually comes
and takes me to the park

and sends child support,

149

and that nigga's daddy
just leave him on the stoop,

that kinda relationship.

A tear welled up in my eye,
and one rolled down my cheek

169
00:07:38,541 --> 00:07:43,087
like that tear that Denzel had
in the movie <i>Glory.</i>

170
00:07:43,087 --> 00:07:45,548
(LAUGHTER)

171
00:07:45,548 --> 00:07:49,552
And I was so heartbroken, man.
But it kept going.

172
00:07:49,552 --> 00:07:52,889
Fast forward to,
now I'm 19 years old,

173
00:07:52,889 --> 00:07:54,807
doing stand-up comedy
in Los Angeles

174
00:07:54,807 --> 00:07:56,184
at the Laugh Factory.

175
00:07:56,184 --> 00:07:58,895
It's probably my tenth time
doing stand-up.

176
00:07:58,895 --> 00:08:00,438
Let me tell you something
about this art form.

177
00:08:00,438 --> 00:08:02,440
This is the hardest shit
anybody wants to do.

178
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:06,235
This is a very hard art form,
and you know why?

179
00:08:06,235 --> 00:08:08,154
Because you evil
drunk motherfuckers

180
00:08:08,154 --> 00:08:10,406
love to see a nigga bomb.

181
00:08:10,406 --> 00:08:12,241
Y'all ain't shit,
you came here to see me bomb.

182
00:08:12,241 --> 00:08:14,243
I know. I know, nigga.

183
00:08:14,243 --> 00:08:15,912
That's why New York niggas
went to see T.I.,

184
00:08:15,912 --> 00:08:17,622
they wanted to see
this nigga bomb.

185
00:08:17,622 --> 00:08:20,458
- (CHEERING AND LAUGHTER)
- You evil motherfuckers.

186
00:08:25,004 --> 00:08:27,006
So I'm doing stand-up comedy
at the Laugh Factory.

187
00:08:27,006 --> 00:08:28,716
And it's funny because
because when you're a young

188
00:08:28,716 --> 00:08:29,842
stand-up comic, right,

189
00:08:29,842 --> 00:08:32,386
you write all these jokes
and-- and you perform them.

190
00:08:32,386 --> 00:08:34,639
Every joke you tell,
you give it your all.

191
00:08:34,639 --> 00:08:37,433
Like you put all your forthright
and gusto into it,

192
00:08:37,433 --> 00:08:39,393
and you wait to be loved
by the audience,

193
00:08:39,393 --> 00:08:42,104
you wait for y'all response.
You be like... (LAUGHS)

194
00:08:42,897 --> 00:08:47,693
(LAUGHTER)

195
00:08:50,863 --> 00:08:52,531
- "Love me."
- AUDIENCE MEMBER: Yes.

196
00:08:52,531 --> 00:08:55,743
And when a joke don't land,
every young comedian

197
00:08:55,743 --> 00:08:57,578
will grab the microphone stand,

198
00:08:57,578 --> 00:08:59,247
and he'll grab it
like a security blanket.

199
00:08:59,247 --> 00:09:01,457
And he'll look down at the floor

200
00:09:01,457 --> 00:09:03,501
because he forgot
his entire set. (SIGHS)

201
00:09:03,501 --> 00:09:07,046
And he'll nervously say,
"Um..." (CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY)

202
00:09:08,005 --> 00:09:11,634
- "...what else is funny?"
- (LAUGHTER)

203
00:09:11,634 --> 00:09:12,802
Well, I made the mistake

204
00:09:12,802 --> 00:09:14,762
of saying that shit
at the Laugh Factory

205
00:09:14,762 --> 00:09:17,557
when I was 19 years old
and all I hear is...

206
00:09:17,557 --> 00:09:19,183
(IMITATES CHRIS ROCK)
"...I don't know, nigga."

207
00:09:19,183 --> 00:09:20,601
(LAUGHTER)

208
00:09:20,601 --> 00:09:23,813
"You supposed to be
the fucking comedian.

209
00:09:23,813 --> 00:09:27,608
Why don't you tell us
what the fuck is funny, nigga?"

210
00:09:27,608 --> 00:09:29,318
(LAUGHTER)

211
00:09:29,318 --> 00:09:30,861
I look at the crowd,
and all I see

212
00:09:30,861 --> 00:09:32,947
is this Black skin
and these two yellow eyes

213
00:09:32,947 --> 00:09:35,116
- walking toward me.
- (LAUGHTER)

214
00:09:35,116 --> 00:09:37,618
I-- I didn't know what it was.
I thought it was a Coca-Cola

215
00:09:37,618 --> 00:09:40,413
- with two lemons coming my way.
- (LAUGHTER)

216
00:09:40,413 --> 00:09:42,832
And I said, "Who's that?"
And out of nowhere he goes...

217
00:09:42,832 --> 00:09:45,501
(IMITATES CHRIS ROCK)
"It's somebody a whole lot
funnier than you, nigga.

218
00:09:45,501 --> 00:09:48,170
I'll tell you that much,
motherfucker."

219
00:09:49,213 --> 00:09:51,674
He finally comes to the light,
and who is it?

220
00:09:51,674 --> 00:09:53,884
- AUDIENCE: Chris Rock.
- Fucking Chris Rock,

221
00:09:53,884 --> 00:09:56,846
my evil older stepbrother
in comedy.

222
00:09:56,846 --> 00:10:00,558
And this is Chris Rock
after <i>I'm Gonna Git You Sucka,</i>

223
00:10:00,558 --> 00:10:04,520
after <i>New Jack City,</i>
after his special <i>Big Ass Jokes,</i>

224
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:08,024
right before he performed
<i>Bring the Pain,</i>

225
00:10:08,024 --> 00:10:10,693
which catapulted him
into greatness.

226
00:10:10,693 --> 00:10:13,904
This man sat there
at the front of the stage

227
00:10:13,904 --> 00:10:17,533
and heckled me my entire set.

228
00:10:17,533 --> 00:10:19,452
(IMITATES CHRIS ROCK)
"Come on, nigga.
Where the jokes at?"

229
00:10:19,452 --> 00:10:20,369
(LAUGHTER)

230
00:10:20,369 --> 00:10:21,078
"I thought you were
supposed to be a Wayans.

231
00:10:21,078 --> 00:10:23,497
Which one are you? Pedo?"

00:10:23,497 --> 00:10:26,208
(LAUGHTER)

233
00:10:26,208 --> 00:10:30,004
- "Oh, that's right, you Marlon."
- (LAUGHTER)

234
00:10:30,004 --> 00:10:32,631
Nigga sat there
and literally demolished me.

235
00:10:35,217 --> 00:10:37,803
- I bombed that night.
- AUDIENCE MEMBER: Aw!

236
00:10:37,803 --> 00:10:40,014
- I quit stand-up.
- AUDIENCE MEMBER: No!

237
00:10:40,014 --> 00:10:42,683
I swear to God, I quit
stand-up comedy for 20 years,

238
00:10:42,683 --> 00:10:45,853
I was that broken.
I was humiliated,

239
00:10:45,853 --> 00:10:48,647
I didn't feel funny and I--
I was like, "Yo, fuck comedy.

240
00:10:48,647 --> 00:10:50,983
I'm just gonna write movies
and do TV,

241
00:10:50,983 --> 00:10:54,653
- I don't need stand-up."
- (CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

242
00:10:56,655 --> 00:10:57,239
Don't clap,
I was a bitch-ass nigga,

243
00:10:57,239 --> 00:11:00,534
- I quit comedy.
- (LAUGHTER)

244
00:11:01,369 --> 00:11:03,120
I was hurt, man,
I was really hurt.

245
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:04,747
I called my brothers up,
I was like,

246
00:11:04,747 --> 00:11:06,665
I was like, "Damon...
(BREATHES HEAVILY)

247
00:11:06,665 --> 00:11:08,959
...Chris Rock heckled me
at the club."

248
00:11:08,959 --> 00:11:11,587
He said... (IMITATES DAMON)
"...Well, nigga,
you probably wasn't funny."

249
00:11:11,587 --> 00:11:13,673
(LAUGHTER)

250
00:11:14,256 --> 00:11:15,508
I prayed on it, man.

251
00:11:15,508 --> 00:11:18,427
I was like, "God,
I wanna kill him.

252
00:11:18,427 --> 00:11:19,845
God, give me the strength."

253
00:11:19,845 --> 00:11:24,016
And God was like, "No, son.
Vengeance is mine."

254
00:11:24,016 --> 00:11:28,104
(CHEERING AND LAUGHTER)

255
00:11:28,104 --> 00:11:29,939
Fast forward
to March 27th, 2022...

256
00:11:29,939 --> 00:11:32,775
(APPLAUSE)

257
00:11:32,775 --> 00:11:36,779
...approximately 10:32 p.m.
Eastern Standard Time,

258
00:11:37,613 --> 00:11:40,658
which is 7:32 Pacific,

259
00:11:41,951 --> 00:11:42,701
when funny little Chris Rock

260
00:11:42,701 --> 00:11:44,453
cracked a joke
on Jada Pinkett Smith

261
00:11:44,453 --> 00:11:48,624
and Will Smith
mysteriously got up...

262
00:11:48,624 --> 00:11:51,502
- (LAUGHTER)
- ...and slapped the shit...

263
00:11:52,878 --> 00:11:55,172
out of one of the greatest
comedians that ever lived.

264
00:11:55,172 --> 00:11:57,800
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

265
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:00,761
And everybody was like,
"Why, why would he do that?"

266
00:12:00,761 --> 00:12:02,471
Well, it had nothing to do
with Chris,

267
00:12:02,471 --> 00:12:03,305
nothing to do with Will,
nothing to do with Jada.

268
00:12:03,305 --> 00:12:06,475
I told you, motherfuckers.

269
00:12:06,475 --> 00:12:08,936
God loves me!

Oh, did you hear
what that slap said?

272
00:12:21,157 --> 00:12:22,491
Oh, that was a hard slap.
That was--

273
00:12:22,491 --> 00:12:26,662
That slap had
three slaps in one slap.

274
00:12:26,662 --> 00:12:29,665
Only God could put
a slap together like that.

275
00:12:29,665 --> 00:12:32,168
That slap said,
"This is for taking

276
00:12:32,168 --> 00:12:34,420
- Marlon's part."
- (CHEERING)

277

you skinny mother--"

I love Chris, but goddamn,
that shit was funny.

283
00:12:52,813 --> 00:12:57,151
Because Will, the smack,
he didn't see that shit coming?

284
00:12:57,151 --> 00:12:59,862
Like, Will--
'cause Will wound up so much,

285
00:12:59,862 --> 00:13:01,530
his body like a cartoon,

286
00:13:01,530 --> 00:13:05,784
- it went around itself. (LAUGHS)
- (LAUGHTER)

287
00:13:06,494 --> 00:13:11,707
Like a windy toy. (LAUGHS)

through America.

289
00:13:14,210 --> 00:13:16,962
It went through the--
the... (LAUGHS)

...the valleys of California,

291
00:13:19,089 --> 00:13:21,467
through the mountains
of Montana,

the lakes of Michigan,
the winds of Chicago,

293

touched all the Black kids

294
00:13:29,725 --> 00:13:32,811

But I laughed.

335
00:16:02,419 --> 00:16:06,924
Whoa! Shit. Oh, man.

336
00:16:07,633 --> 00:16:10,094
I gotta give-- (LAUGHS)

337
00:16:10,094 --> 00:16:11,762
I gotta give it
to Chris Rock though,

338
00:16:11,762 --> 00:16:16,141
- that-- His...
- (LAUGHTER)

339
00:16:16,141 --> 00:16:19,520
...lack of... (LAUGHS)
...reaction was a strong--

340
00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:22,940
- (LAUGHS)
- (LAUGHTER)

341
00:16:22,940 --> 00:16:23,899
I think I caught a contact high

342
00:16:23,899 --> 00:16:27,653
- from your nigga's weed, listen.
- (LAUGHTER)

343
00:16:28,362 --> 00:16:32,074
(LAUGHS)

344
00:16:32,074 --> 00:16:34,618
I gotta give it to Chris Rock.
I gotta give it to my brother.

345
00:16:34,618 --> 00:16:37,955
His... lack of reaction

346
00:16:37,955 --> 00:16:41,417
was one of the strongest
reactions I've ever seen

347
00:16:41,417 --> 00:16:43,419
a human being achieve.

348
00:16:43,419 --> 00:16:46,422
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

349
00:16:46,422 --> 00:16:49,258
I ain't seen a strong reaction
that strong since like Gandhi.

350
00:16:49,258 --> 00:16:52,553
(LAUGHTER)

351
00:16:52,553 --> 00:16:55,139
- Martin Luther King.
- (CHEERING)

352

Evander Holyfield
when Mike Tyson bit

353
00:16:58,767 --> 00:17:01,145
that nigga's ear off
and all he did was this--

354
00:17:01,145 --> 00:17:03,439
- Nig--
- (LAUGHTER)

355
00:17:08,777 --> 00:17:10,821
Because Chris Rock
single-handedly held together

356
00:17:10,821 --> 00:17:13,949
the last fabric
of Black excellence

357
00:17:13,949 --> 00:17:17,911
- we had left.
- (CHEERING AND LAUGHTER)

358
00:17:17,911 --> 00:17:20,330
And that leads me to believe
one or two things

359
00:17:20,330 --> 00:17:22,624
about my brother, Chris Rock.

360
00:17:22,624 --> 00:17:24,960
Either he is
the strongest Black man

361
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:29,006
- that God ever created.
- (LAUGHTER)

362
00:17:29,006 --> 00:17:32,176
- AUDIENCE MEMBER: Or?
- Or he is truly

363
00:17:32,176 --> 00:17:34,303
one bitch-ass nigga
'cause this--

364
00:17:34,303 --> 00:17:36,054
(LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE)

365
00:17:36,054 --> 00:17:38,807
(LAUGHS) Nigga didn't even--
He didn't even act

366
00:17:38,807 --> 00:17:40,142
like he was gonna hit him back.
He didn't do none of this.

367
00:17:40,142 --> 00:17:43,187
You know what I mean?
He didn't put his hands up.

368
00:17:43,187 --> 00:17:46,273
I ain't see
his little claws curl up.

369
00:17:46,273 --> 00:17:47,149
That nigga just took it.

370
00:17:47,149 --> 00:17:51,153
And then complimented Will
on the slap.

371
00:17:51,153 --> 00:17:54,239
(IMITATES CHRIS ROCK)
"I can't believe Will Smith
just slapped me at the Oscars."

372
00:17:54,239 --> 00:17:55,157
(LAUGHTER)

373
00:17:55,157 --> 00:17:58,160
"This is the best moment
in Oscar history.

374
00:17:59,453 --> 00:18:03,207
I'm never gonna wash
my cheek again." (LAUGHS)

375
00:18:03,207 --> 00:18:07,044
The real punk shit was
Will screaming from his chair.

376
00:18:07,044 --> 00:18:08,003
(IMITATES WILL SMITH)
"Keep my wife's name

377
00:18:08,003 --> 00:18:10,506
- out your motherfucking mouth."
- (LAUGHTER)

378
00:18:10,506 --> 00:18:14,051
And this nigga, Chris, said...
(IMITATES CHRIS ROCK)
"...That's a good idea."

379
00:18:14,051 --> 00:18:15,886
(LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE)

380
00:18:19,389 --> 00:18:23,977
(LAUGHS) I was like--

381
00:18:23,977 --> 00:18:25,521
That's when
I wanted to jump in.

382
00:18:25,521 --> 00:18:27,940
I was like, "No,
enough of this shit, nigga."

383
00:18:27,940 --> 00:18:30,692
(LAUGHTER)

384
00:18:30,692 --> 00:18:33,529
First of all,
Will, you too damn big

385
00:18:33,529 --> 00:18:35,114
to be hitting little Chris Rock.

386
00:18:35,114 --> 00:18:38,075
You know better.
Come on, Chris-- Chris...

387
00:18:38,075 --> 00:18:40,369
I can see
if Jada slapped Chris Rock,

388
00:18:40,369 --> 00:18:42,037
that's a fair fight.

389
00:18:42,037 --> 00:18:43,914
But, Will, come on,
you are an action hero.

390
00:18:43,914 --> 00:18:46,041
This man played Ali,
lifting weights.

391
00:18:46,041 --> 00:18:49,878
He knows how to box.
I've seen him in <i>I Am Legend,</i>

392
00:18:49,878 --> 00:18:53,882
doing backward pull-ups
and lifting weights. Come on.

393
00:18:53,882 --> 00:18:56,844
Chris Rock has been stereotyped
as a crack head

394
00:18:56,844 --> 00:18:59,096
in 96.5 percent
of all his movies.

395
00:19:00,931 --> 00:19:02,182
It's like that's
the first person

396
00:19:02,182 --> 00:19:04,393
they think about,
like word association.

397
00:19:04,393 --> 00:19:07,938
- Crack head, Rock.
- (LAUGHTER)

398
00:19:10,148 --> 00:19:12,109
Like the heaviest thing
Chris Rock ever lifted

399
00:19:12,109 --> 00:19:15,362
in a movie... (CHUCKLES)
...was the crack pipe

400
00:19:15,904 --> 00:19:17,614
in <i>New Jack City.</i>

401
00:19:17,614 --> 00:19:19,408
And the nigga
struggled with that.

402
00:19:19,408 --> 00:19:21,159

(AUDIENCE MEMBERS

405
00:19:32,296 --> 00:19:34,590
G.I. Jane wasn't worth
slapping Chris Rock over.

406
00:19:34,590 --> 00:19:36,717
It was a compliment.

407
00:19:37,634 --> 00:19:40,178
Now,
if he would've called her...

408
00:19:42,514 --> 00:19:43,473
Gollum... (LAUGHS)

409
00:19:43,473 --> 00:19:46,518
...from <i>Lord of the Rings,</i>
you know what I mean?

(IMITATES GOLLUM) "My precious."

413
00:19:54,610 --> 00:19:55,944
Then you could slap the shit
out that man.

00:19:55,944 --> 00:19:59,489
- (LAUGHTER)
- Oh, shit, man. Oh, man.

I've known...

419
00:20:12,711 --> 00:20:17,633
Jada Pinkett Smith
since I was 18, 19 years old.

420
00:20:18,842 --> 00:20:21,094
I met her backstage
at <i>In Living Color,</i>

421
00:20:21,094 --> 00:20:23,013
my brother's TV show
in the '90s.

(CHEERING)

00:20:27,809 --> 00:20:31,104

in his dressing room

424

and I saw her.

425
00:20:34,316 --> 00:20:37,945
I saw Jada
and I was immediately smitten.

- AUDIENCE MEMBER: Aw!
- Like, this woman was so smart,

427
00:20:40,238 --> 00:20:42,991
so knowledgeable,
so multi-talented.

428
00:20:42,991 --> 00:20:44,660
She could sing. She could dance.
She could rap.

429
00:20:44,660 --> 00:20:46,536
She could write poetry.

430
00:20:46,536 --> 00:20:48,872
You know, people say I've lived
five, six, seven times.

431
00:20:48,872 --> 00:20:50,415
She's been here five times

432
00:20:50,415 --> 00:20:52,376
and she probably lived
to the ripe age

433
00:20:52,376 --> 00:20:54,628
of 127 each time.

434
00:20:54,628 --> 00:20:58,215
Jada Pinkett is Cleopatra.
She is Joan of Arc.

435
00:20:58,215 --> 00:21:03,595
She is Helen Martin from <i>227.</i>

and I immediately was like,
"Oh, my God,

439

She ain't got no titties.
She got nipples,

But I don't know
how she sit down.

448

She must keep sliding
'til she hit the hook
on her head.

It's like,
"All right, right there's good."

and me and Jada became like...
best friends.

453
00:21:53,687 --> 00:21:55,355
Like, I moved out to California.

454
00:21:55,355 --> 00:21:57,107
She lived a couple of minutes
from me,

455
00:21:57,107 --> 00:21:58,066
and I spent the night
at her house.

456
00:21:58,066 --> 00:22:00,402
She would stay a night
at my house.

457

We'd just hang out
like two innocent little kids.

458

And this woman was so smart.

459
00:22:04,740 --> 00:22:06,575
She used to teach me
about love.

460
00:22:06,575 --> 00:22:08,994
She had power words
and descriptions of love.

461
00:22:08,994 --> 00:22:11,288
When she was 19,
she was telling me shit like,

462
00:22:11,288 --> 00:22:14,624
- "Love is acceptance."
- AUDIENCE MEMBER: Yeah, it is.

463
00:22:14,624 --> 00:22:17,961
- "Love is unconditional."
- AUDIENCE MEMBER: It is!

00:22:17,961 --> 00:22:20,756
"Love has no expectations

465
00:22:20,756 --> 00:22:23,091
because then
you will be disappointed.

466
00:22:23,091 --> 00:22:29,097
Love involves devastation.
Love is forgiving.

467
00:22:29,097 --> 00:22:31,308
And real love is healing."

- hearing these big power words?
- (LAUGHTER)

471
00:22:38,190 --> 00:22:40,942
But I never told Jada
I had a crush on her.

472
00:22:40,942 --> 00:22:43,445
I never did. I just--
I was always like,

473
00:22:43,445 --> 00:22:44,362
you know, I used to play
her little songs

474
00:22:44,362 --> 00:22:47,157
with, like, little--
little hints in them.

475
00:22:47,157 --> 00:22:48,283
I remember one time
I played her Stevie Wonder's

476
00:22:49,868 --> 00:22:52,037
"Too Shy to Say."

477
00:22:52,037 --> 00:22:55,290
And then she played me back
En Vogue's "Never Gonna Get It."

We just became
best friends, man.

And I hung out with her
so much, she used to--

481
00:23:01,463 --> 00:23:04,132
We used to write poetry
and we'd share the poetry.

482
00:23:04,132 --> 00:23:07,677
Her shit was so like--
She had similes and metaphors

483
00:23:07,677 --> 00:23:10,806
and shit that public school
didn't teach you. I was like--

484
00:23:10,806 --> 00:23:11,556
And me, my shit was basic.

485
00:23:11,556 --> 00:23:13,934
I was like,
"I think you pretty.

- Can I suck your titty?"

- "But that will be litty."
- (LAUGHTER)

489
00:23:26,196 --> 00:23:27,948
I was like-- (LAUGHS)
It was funny, like--

490
00:23:27,948 --> 00:23:29,241
like, we hung out so much

491
00:23:29,241 --> 00:23:31,034
and she felt
so comfortable with me,

492
00:23:31,034 --> 00:23:32,869

like her gay friend.

You are undercover straight.
You lying motherfuckers.

00:31:21,045 --> 00:31:23,548
Nigga, that was
Tupac's walk, nigga.

669
00:31:23,548 --> 00:31:24,799
I know that
duck-leg walk, nigga.

670
00:31:26,926 --> 00:31:29,053
That duck-leg walk, that's--
I worked with Tupac,

671
00:31:29,053 --> 00:31:31,139
that is Birdie
from <i>Above the Rim.</i>

672
00:31:31,139 --> 00:31:34,934
- Nigga got out of the range...
- (LAUGHTER)

673
00:31:34,934 --> 00:31:36,811
That is Bishop
from <i>Juice,</i> nigga.

674
00:31:36,811 --> 00:31:40,523
- I know that duck-leg walk.
- (LAUGHTER)

675
00:31:40,523 --> 00:31:43,192
Look at even the way
he was screaming from his seat

676
00:31:43,192 --> 00:31:44,861
all ignorant and shit.

677
00:31:44,861 --> 00:31:47,238
Like Tupac
on one of his diss records,

678
00:31:47,238 --> 00:31:51,075
"Keep my wife's name
out your motherfucking mouth."

679
00:31:51,075 --> 00:31:52,619
That shit sound like...

680
00:31:52,619 --> 00:31:55,079
<i>♪ First off, East Side
Fuck the clique you claim ♪</i>

681
00:31:55,079 --> 00:31:57,665
(LAUGHTER)

682
00:32:07,592 --> 00:32:09,510
You know what? Like when
that shit happened, man,

683
00:32:09,510 --> 00:32:11,220
the reason why I'm doing like
a set about it,

684
00:32:12,221 --> 00:32:12,972
is because our thing
in stand-up, man,

685
00:32:12,972 --> 00:32:14,974
it gotta come
from something personal.

686
00:32:14,974 --> 00:32:16,100
And that shit
was personal to me

687
00:32:16,100 --> 00:32:18,770
because I know the three
of them so well.

688
00:32:18,770 --> 00:32:20,980
And I was hurt
when I saw that happen

689
00:32:20,980 --> 00:32:22,899
because I love
all the parties involved.

690
00:32:23,775 --> 00:32:25,360
I'm a Black man.

691
00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:27,612
I'm a Black actor,
I'm a Black comedian.

692
00:32:27,612 --> 00:32:29,572
So it felt like watching
Will slap Chris

693
00:32:29,572 --> 00:32:32,116
like I slapped myself
on that stage.

694
00:32:32,116 --> 00:32:33,409
You know,
because for Black people,

695
00:32:33,409 --> 00:32:35,995
we worked so hard to be better

696
00:32:35,995 --> 00:32:38,206
and we always wanna blame
White folks for this,

697
00:32:38,206 --> 00:32:39,332
White folks for that.

698
00:32:39,332 --> 00:32:42,543
But sometimes,
we just gotta be better, yo.

699
00:32:42,543 --> 00:32:44,837
- (APPLAUSE)
- We gotta be better.

700
00:32:45,838 --> 00:32:47,715
We was just picketing
a few years ago

701
00:32:47,715 --> 00:32:50,009
about Oscars being so White.

702
00:32:50,009 --> 00:32:51,511
And then what happens
when we had a Black producer,

703
00:32:51,511 --> 00:32:53,721
we had a Black host?

704
00:32:53,721 --> 00:32:55,932
This was a Black event
and we do this shit?

705
00:32:55,932 --> 00:32:58,476
We're gonna turn the Oscars
into the Source Awards?

706
00:32:58,476 --> 00:33:00,728
- What the fuck?
- (LAUGHTER)

707
00:33:00,728 --> 00:33:03,773
White people like, "That's why
we want them so White."

708
00:33:03,773 --> 00:33:06,234
(LAUGHTER)

709
00:33:06,234 --> 00:33:08,861
And I went out that night, man.
I went out on Oscar night.

710
00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:10,947
I went out.

711
00:33:10,947 --> 00:33:12,907
And you know what,
I'll give it to White folks,

712
00:33:12,907 --> 00:33:14,867
this is the first time
in the history,

713
00:33:15,702 --> 00:33:16,911
y'all niggas mind
y'all business.

714
00:33:16,911 --> 00:33:19,747
White people didn't know
what the fuck to say

715
00:33:19,747 --> 00:33:21,582
- about this shit. I'm serious.
- (LAUGHTER)

716
00:33:21,582 --> 00:33:23,960
I went to the Oscar parties,
White folks was like...

717
00:33:24,627 --> 00:33:28,965
(CHEERING AND LAUGHTER)

718
00:33:43,229 --> 00:33:45,314
"What are your thoughts?
I'm just curious,
what are you thinking?"

719
00:33:46,691 --> 00:33:49,902
They had no fucking idea
what happened.

720
00:33:49,902 --> 00:33:51,779
And I was depressed.
Because you know what?

721
00:33:51,779 --> 00:33:53,114
There's two things,
Black people,

722
00:33:53,114 --> 00:33:55,158
we can't do in front
of White folks.

723
00:33:55,158 --> 00:33:58,327
One, is fight each other
in public spaces.

724
00:33:58,327 --> 00:34:00,955
(CHEERING)

725
00:34:00,955 --> 00:34:04,459
Two, eat watermelon.
I know that shit's delicious.

726
00:34:04,459 --> 00:34:08,629
- (LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE)
- It's yummy, I love it.

727
00:34:08,629 --> 00:34:11,132
I love it. But, nigga,
grab the melon at the barbecue

728
00:34:11,132 --> 00:34:13,050
and go over to the side
and eat that shit.

729
00:34:14,552 --> 00:34:16,262
Swallow the seeds,
don't leave no proof.

730
00:34:16,262 --> 00:34:18,431
"Oh, look. I see
they were eating the melon."

731
00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:22,185
It's a trick.
It's cheese in a trap, nigga.

732
00:34:22,185 --> 00:34:23,728
And then, Black people
wanna eat it all down

733
00:34:23,728 --> 00:34:24,687
to the white part.

734
00:34:24,687 --> 00:34:27,023
Leave some fucking pink
on that bitch, please.

735
00:34:27,023 --> 00:34:29,358
- (LAUGHTER)
- What's wrong with you?

736
00:34:29,358 --> 00:34:30,943
It's poison after that.

737
00:34:32,737 --> 00:34:34,113
But you know what?
After thinking, I was like,

738
00:34:34,113 --> 00:34:35,406
"Black folks,
we're gonna be all right.

739
00:34:35,406 --> 00:34:37,742
This ain't the first time
we've been through shit
like this."

740
00:34:37,742 --> 00:34:39,202
This-- (SMACK LIPS)
Nigga, this is what we do.

741
00:34:39,202 --> 00:34:41,996
This our rhythm. We dope enough
to fuck up and go,

742
00:34:41,996 --> 00:34:42,747
"Yeah, we'll do better
next year."

743
00:34:42,747 --> 00:34:44,999
- (LAUGHTER)
- And we will.

744
00:34:44,999 --> 00:34:46,626
And that's the shit
that makes us stronger.

745
00:34:46,626 --> 00:34:49,086
I actually,
and this is gonna sound crazy.

746
00:34:49,086 --> 00:34:51,839
I felt really bad...
for White people.

747
00:34:51,839 --> 00:34:55,885
- (LAUGHTER)
- I felt bad for White folks.

748
00:34:56,594 --> 00:34:58,221
I did. Susan.

749
00:34:59,180 --> 00:35:01,140
(LAUGHTER)

750
00:35:03,726 --> 00:35:04,852
Phil.

751
00:35:08,314 --> 00:35:10,983
- Karen.
- (LAUGHTER)

752
00:35:10,983 --> 00:35:14,779
I felt bad because Black people,
we like Will. He cool.

753
00:35:14,779 --> 00:35:15,696
You know what I mean?

754
00:35:15,696 --> 00:35:17,740
But he a little bit
too buttoned up for--

755
00:35:17,740 --> 00:35:20,535
for Black folks.
We like some danger.

756
00:35:20,535 --> 00:35:22,286
We like a little bit
of ignorance.

757
00:35:22,286 --> 00:35:24,372
We like some unpredictability.

758
00:35:24,372 --> 00:35:26,582
Like the more money you got
as a Black man,

759
00:35:26,582 --> 00:35:28,292
the more you like Will Smith.

760
00:35:28,292 --> 00:35:31,712
The real niggas,
we be like, "He cool."

761
00:35:31,712 --> 00:35:33,214
We be like,
"He ain't no Martin."

762
00:35:33,214 --> 00:35:35,299
You know what I mean? (CHUCKLES)
We love us some Martin.

763
00:35:35,299 --> 00:35:37,426
If Martin would've slapped
Chris Rock at the Oscars,

764
00:35:37,426 --> 00:35:41,472
we would be like, "That's just
Marty Mar being Marty Mar."

765
00:35:41,472 --> 00:35:44,267
(LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE)

766
00:35:45,810 --> 00:35:48,187
White people made Will Smith.

767
00:35:48,187 --> 00:35:51,357
Black people, we bootlegged
that motherfucker's movies.

768
00:35:51,357 --> 00:35:53,526
White people,
they were first in line

769
00:35:53,526 --> 00:35:55,152
because he was
the only Black man

770
00:35:55,152 --> 00:35:59,907
in the history of film
that ever saved the world.

771
00:35:59,907 --> 00:36:01,409
White males could save
the world.

772
00:36:01,409 --> 00:36:03,161
Bruce Willis could save
the world.

773
00:36:03,161 --> 00:36:05,496
Sylvester Stallone
could save the world.

774
00:36:05,496 --> 00:36:07,582
Arnold Schwarzenegger
could save the world.

775
00:36:07,582 --> 00:36:09,876
Ben Affleck can save
the world.

776
00:36:09,876 --> 00:36:13,296
Ain't no Black man could save
the world except Will Smith.

777
00:36:13,296 --> 00:36:16,924
Eddie Murphy was
the biggest star in the world,

778
00:36:16,924 --> 00:36:20,720
he never saved
the world successfully.

779
00:36:20,720 --> 00:36:22,263
No. He could save a city.

780
00:36:24,181 --> 00:36:26,267
<i>- Metro, Beverly Hills Cop.</i>
- (LAUGHTER)

781
00:36:26,267 --> 00:36:29,896
They never believed Eddie Murphy
could save the world.

782
00:36:29,896 --> 00:36:31,188
White folks was like, "No way.

783
00:36:31,188 --> 00:36:34,483
His nostrils are way too big
to save the world."

784
00:36:34,483 --> 00:36:36,986
- (LAUGHTER)
- "No, no, no.

785
00:36:36,986 --> 00:36:39,572
No way those nostrils
could save the world.

786
00:36:39,572 --> 00:36:42,074
Sorry, no. They look
like two black holes.

787
00:36:42,074 --> 00:36:43,492
I don't believe it.

788
00:36:43,492 --> 00:36:45,620
Will Smith with that nice,
cute Caucasian nose, sure!

789
00:36:45,620 --> 00:36:47,788
He can save the world."

790
00:36:48,581 --> 00:36:49,999
But Will Smith. Oh, my God!

791
00:36:49,999 --> 00:36:51,500
Will Smith, they didn't
even know he was Black.

792
00:36:51,500 --> 00:36:54,253
This nigga was a dark-skinned
White person to them.

793
00:36:54,253 --> 00:36:56,547
"Will Smith, I love Will Smith.

794
00:36:56,547 --> 00:36:59,967
Huh! Willard Smith,
I love Will Smith.

795
00:36:59,967 --> 00:37:02,553
That's a nice White name.
Will Smith!"

796
00:37:02,553 --> 00:37:03,638
(LAUGHTER)

797
00:37:03,638 --> 00:37:06,140
Say the name Will Smith
and watch White people smile.

798
00:37:06,140 --> 00:37:09,268
(LAUGHS) "I love Will Smith.
I love it, Will Smith."

799
00:37:09,268 --> 00:37:14,106
Oh, my God! White women,
"That is my hall pass."

800
00:37:14,106 --> 00:37:16,025
White men,
"He's my hall pass, too."

801
00:37:16,025 --> 00:37:20,780
- (LAUGHTER)
- They love Will Smith.

802
00:37:20,780 --> 00:37:24,158
"Oh, sure, Will Smith
saved the world
from aliens four times?"

803
00:37:24,158 --> 00:37:27,453
"Of course he can. He's White.
Will Smith can save the world."

804
00:37:27,453 --> 00:37:29,497
"Will Smith saved
the world from robots?"

805
00:37:29,497 --> 00:37:33,501
"Of course, Will Smith can save
the world from robots!"

806
00:37:33,501 --> 00:37:36,003
"Will Smith the last White man
in the world?"

807
00:37:36,003 --> 00:37:39,924
"Of course he is. <i>I Am Legend.</i>
I'm there. It's Will Smith."

808
00:37:39,924 --> 00:37:41,634
"Will Smith, a cowboy?"

809
00:37:41,634 --> 00:37:45,012
- "Sure. All Whites are cowboys."
- (LAUGHTER)

810
00:37:45,012 --> 00:37:46,847
That motherfucker
should have his own crayon

811
00:37:46,847 --> 00:37:49,350
- in the crayon box.
- (CHEERING)

812
00:37:49,350 --> 00:37:52,144
Will Smith, it look Black
and it write White.

813
00:37:52,144 --> 00:37:55,856
(CHEERING AND LAUGHTER)

814
00:37:55,856 --> 00:37:58,859
It's true. Even his music.

815
00:37:58,859 --> 00:38:00,861
His music wasn't made
for niggas.

816
00:38:00,861 --> 00:38:02,113
(LAUGHTER)

817
00:38:02,113 --> 00:38:04,115
We don't even relate to what
the fuck he talking about.

818
00:38:04,115 --> 00:38:06,200
Nigga,
"Parents Just Don't Understand."

819
00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:09,537
That ain't for Black people.
It's confusing.

820
00:38:09,537 --> 00:38:12,123
Niggas is like,
"What you mean, parents?"

821
00:38:12,123 --> 00:38:15,918
(LAUGHTER)

822
00:38:15,918 --> 00:38:17,628
"Wait, wait, wait.
So-- so you mean

823
00:38:17,628 --> 00:38:19,380
there's two of 'em
in your household?"

824
00:38:19,380 --> 00:38:23,217
(CHEERING AND LAUGHTER)

825
00:38:24,343 --> 00:38:26,137
"And what you mean
by 'understand?'

826
00:38:26,137 --> 00:38:27,722
Like you talk to your parents?

827
00:38:27,722 --> 00:38:29,432
Pfft! All right.

828
00:38:29,432 --> 00:38:32,893
So, is this before or after
they whoop your ass?

829
00:38:32,893 --> 00:38:35,271
- 'Cause I'm confused."
- (LAUGHTER)

830
00:38:36,105 --> 00:38:37,315
It wasn't made for Black people.

831
00:38:37,315 --> 00:38:39,317
That shit was easy listening
hip-hop for niggas.

832
00:38:39,317 --> 00:38:41,569
We listen to that shit
in the elevator like, "Hmm."

833
00:38:41,569 --> 00:38:44,363
(LAUGHTER)

834
00:38:44,363 --> 00:38:46,073
Think about it.
"Gettin' Jiggy Wit It."

835

on your ignorance
then not apologize,

1094
00:51:26,458 --> 00:51:28,502
then fuck it,
don't apologize to nobody,

1095

00:54:22,342 --> 00:54:23,969
Press play and be like...
(CLICKS TONGUE)

Na-na, na, na, na-na ♪</i>

1164
00:54:26,846 --> 00:54:29,891
- (LAUGHS)
- (LAUGHTER)

1165
00:54:29,891 --> 00:54:30,350
I've known Will Smith...

1166
00:54:32,644 --> 00:54:35,063
since I was 19, 20 years old.

1167
00:54:36,147 --> 00:54:38,984
He's always been that dude,
you know?

1168
00:54:38,984 --> 00:54:41,861
You know, when you an actor
and you look at those guys,

1169
00:54:41,861 --> 00:54:44,030
he's always been an example.

1170
00:54:44,030 --> 00:54:46,741
And the way he held us down
for so long,

1171
00:54:46,741 --> 00:54:47,951
that shit should be applauded.

1172
00:54:47,951 --> 00:54:49,160
You know, we were kinda
like rivals.

1173
00:54:49,160 --> 00:54:52,122
You know, he was on NBC,
I was on the WB.

1174
00:54:52,122 --> 00:54:55,208
He had three letters
in his acronym.

1175
00:54:55,208 --> 00:54:58,003
We were ghetto as fuck.
I could only afford two.

1176
00:54:58,003 --> 00:55:00,839
- (CHEERING AND LAUGHTER)
- Will Smith, man.

1177
00:55:00,839 --> 00:55:03,800
All these roles used to
always go to him first, right?

1178
00:55:03,800 --> 00:55:04,843
I went in for <i>Men in Black,</i>

1179
00:55:04,843 --> 00:55:06,886
it looked like the hanger
was still in the suit.

1180
00:55:06,886 --> 00:55:08,888
I went in to audition,

1181
00:55:08,888 --> 00:55:11,558
the director literally laughed
at me. He said,

1182
00:55:11,558 --> 00:55:13,059
"You're supposed to be
a CIA operative.

1183
00:55:13,059 --> 00:55:15,311
- You look more like
a vacuum cleaner salesman."
- AUDIENCE MEMBER: Aw.

1184
00:55:15,311 --> 00:55:18,148
And this happened on
every role that I went out for.

1185
00:55:18,148 --> 00:55:21,317
And see, in Hollywood,
they have this thing,

1186
00:55:21,317 --> 00:55:23,862
it's called one nigga at a time.

1187
00:55:23,862 --> 00:55:25,947
- AUDIENCE MEMBER: Yeah.
- And this is real.

1188
00:55:25,947 --> 00:55:27,073
There's only room
for one Black man to make it

1189
00:55:27,073 --> 00:55:29,242
at a time, up until recently.

1190
00:55:29,242 --> 00:55:32,245
Understand, back in the day,
especially in the '80s,

1191
00:55:32,245 --> 00:55:34,122
you had Eddie Murphy,
that was it.

1192
00:55:34,873 --> 00:55:36,541
Then Wesley Snipes got a chance,

1193
00:55:36,541 --> 00:55:41,046
and Denzel got a chance,
and then came my brother, Damon,

1194
00:55:41,046 --> 00:55:44,257
then came Martin Lawrence,
then came Will,

1195
00:55:44,257 --> 00:55:46,301
and Will held that slot
for so long,

1196
00:55:46,301 --> 00:55:48,928
and I used to pray.
I used to be like,

1197
00:55:48,928 --> 00:55:50,305
"This nigga gonna fall off
sooner or later."

1198
00:55:50,305 --> 00:55:51,097
I'm getting ready,
I'm hitting the gym, like,

1199
00:55:51,097 --> 00:55:52,223
I'm getting my shit together.

1200
00:55:52,223 --> 00:55:54,768
"He's gonna fall
and I'ma get my chance."

1201
00:55:54,768 --> 00:55:56,061
It never came.

1202
00:55:56,061 --> 00:55:59,230
This nigga been hot
for 30 fucking years.

1203
00:55:59,230 --> 00:56:01,232
He's never fell off.

1204
00:56:01,232 --> 00:56:02,317
He got bigger and bigger
and bigger, and I was like,

1205
00:56:02,317 --> 00:56:08,656
- "Fuck, God. I need a miracle."
- (LAUGHTER)

1206
00:56:08,656 --> 00:56:12,577
- Then, on March 27th, 2022...
- (CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

1207
00:56:12,577 --> 00:56:16,289
...approximately 10:32 p.m.
Eastern Standard Time,

1208
00:56:16,289 --> 00:56:19,292
- which is 7:32...
- AUDIENCE: Pacific.

1209
00:56:19,292 --> 00:56:21,169
Pacific. At this point,
who gives a fuck?

1210
00:56:21,169 --> 00:56:22,962
(LAUGHTER)

1211
00:56:22,962 --> 00:56:26,341
When Chris Rock cracked
a joke on Will Smith's wife

1212
00:56:26,341 --> 00:56:27,509
and Will Smith got up...

1213
00:56:28,510 --> 00:56:30,845
and slapped the shit out
of Chris Rock.

1214
00:56:30,845 --> 00:56:32,055
That had nothing
to do with Chris,

1215
00:56:32,055 --> 00:56:33,932
nothing to do with Jada,
nothing to do with Will.

1216
00:56:33,932 --> 00:56:36,434
I told y'all.

1217
00:56:36,434 --> 00:56:39,729
- AUDIENCE MEMBER:
God loves you!
- God fucking loves me.

1218
00:56:39,729 --> 00:56:41,314
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

1219
00:56:41,314 --> 00:56:44,984
Because all these roles
that this man had,

1220
00:56:44,984 --> 00:56:47,112
they started coming loose.

1221
00:56:47,112 --> 00:56:49,572
And in that moment,
I fucking realized something.

1222
00:56:51,699 --> 00:56:52,492
God loves me,

1223
00:56:52,492 --> 00:56:55,078
because none of those roles
are for me.

1224
00:56:55,954 --> 00:56:57,622
That's for that man.

1225
00:56:57,622 --> 00:57:00,166
That-- a man who upheld
Black excellence

1226
00:57:00,166 --> 00:57:01,167
as long as he did,
we should be proud of.

1227
00:57:01,167 --> 00:57:03,837
He did something
that no other man did,

1228
00:57:03,837 --> 00:57:04,879
and he deserves to be forgiven
for a moment

1229
00:57:04,879 --> 00:57:06,965
of being fucked up,

1230
00:57:06,965 --> 00:57:09,217
- because we all have shit.
- (APPLAUSE)

1231
00:57:09,217 --> 00:57:10,343
We all have shit moments.

1232
00:57:10,343 --> 00:57:12,428
He just so happened to have
the worst moment

1233
00:57:12,428 --> 00:57:15,765
- on the best day.
- AUDIENCE MEMBER: Right.

1234
00:57:15,765 --> 00:57:17,851
And I don't wanna be
what Will Smith is.

1235
00:57:17,851 --> 00:57:20,103
You don't thirst
for anybody else's career

1236
00:57:20,103 --> 00:57:21,354
except your own.

1237
00:57:21,354 --> 00:57:23,857
We so busy looking over
at other people's yards

1238
00:57:23,857 --> 00:57:25,191
that we ain't looking
at our own.

1239
00:57:25,191 --> 00:57:27,819
God has blessed
the fuck out of me.

1240
00:57:27,819 --> 00:57:29,571
If I was Will, I wouldn't be me.

1241
00:57:29,571 --> 00:57:30,947
I wouldn't have written
and produced and starred in 15,

1242
00:57:30,947 --> 00:57:32,365
16 fucking movies.

1243
00:57:32,365 --> 00:57:35,076
I wouldn't have created
my own television show

1244
00:57:35,076 --> 00:57:36,744
since 18 years old.

1245
00:57:36,744 --> 00:57:39,414
I have been so blessed
on this journey that God,

1246
00:57:39,414 --> 00:57:41,416
man, he's been nothing but good.

1247
00:57:41,416 --> 00:57:43,918
Chris Rock, I'm grateful
to my brother

1248
00:57:43,918 --> 00:57:46,796
for checking my chin.

1249
00:57:46,796 --> 00:57:50,091
I quit for 20 years, and now,
I'm back on stage,

1250
00:57:50,091 --> 00:57:51,801
and I'm grateful
that a GOAT...

1251
00:57:51,801 --> 00:57:56,389
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

1252
00:57:56,389 --> 00:58:00,977
...that a GOAT
and a big brother took the time

1253
00:58:00,977 --> 00:58:02,770
to check my chin
in a way that, maybe,

1254
00:58:02,770 --> 00:58:05,231
my brothers would've never.
You made me better,

1255
00:58:05,231 --> 00:58:06,441
and I love you
for that, brother.

1256
00:58:06,441 --> 00:58:10,486
I'm thankful to Jada
for teaching me about love,

1257
00:58:10,486 --> 00:58:13,531
about forgiving,
about unconditional,

1258
00:58:13,531 --> 00:58:16,159
about devastation,
and about healing.

1259
00:58:16,159 --> 00:58:19,495
And may we all take this
time to forgive those

1260
00:58:19,495 --> 00:58:20,330
that made mistakes,

1261
00:58:20,330 --> 00:58:22,665
because it's all a part
of the journey

1262
00:58:22,665 --> 00:58:26,294
and it's all a part of love.
I never wanted to be Will Smith.

1263
00:58:26,294 --> 00:58:28,296
I never wanted to be Chris Rock.
I'm just grateful to God,

1264
00:58:28,296 --> 00:58:31,132
he made me
Marlon fucking Wayans.

1265
00:58:31,132 --> 00:58:34,928
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

1266
00:58:34,928 --> 00:58:38,806
God loves me, and remember,
God loves you, too.

1267
00:58:38,806 --> 00:58:39,933
Thank y'all. Good night.
