Actor Will Smith appeared on The Daily Show With Trevor Noah in a first late-night interview since the Oscars controversy. Promoting his new historical drama Emancipation, Smith’s conversation with the late-night host naturally dug into his Oscars night controversy, in which he slapped Chris Rock onstage as the comedian was introducing the category. “I have been away,” Smith said, drawing a laugh from the crowd when the topic of his absence from the public eye came up.
