My final thoughts are that it was a JOKE that hit a nerve that no one even knew about. Will’s reaction was insane, but I can’t believe Chris just stood there. (Though reading Kate’s reply below gives some context) Really, I just don’t care about the Smith’s, and don’t want to hear anything about them again.

ON TO THE NEXT THING!!!

I witnessed my childhood crumble. The fish from shark tales and the zebra from Madagascar are beefing with one another. This is truly a nightmare

My final thought is that… Will and Jada need to break up. “Bad marriage for life” is NOT a good motto for a partnership, believe it or not, and it feels like there’s definitely something toxic happening there (at least based on Jada’s own Red Table conversations). I think Will is hanging onto a relationship that should have run its course, and it’s taking a toll.

We’ll definitely still have a news cycle around the red table talk, at the very least.

And I also saw that Chris Rock said months back that he discovered he suffered from a condition that made it difficult to recognize people’s reactions, which is interesting in context of the moment.

But, yes, post-SNL, time to move on, though I do look forward to Chris’ material when he’s ready to talk about it.

I was waiting for the SNL takes to be totally done with it; and now I’m satiated. The skit was hilarious and Weekend Update on it was pretty funny too. Oh and the monologue! Loved it.

What a moment in time. Now, byeeee.

Ps — team Chris.

It feels SO much longer than one week... definitely a sign that the discourse needs to move on
