Anger Management Tips for Men Reaction Video | Will Smith Apologizes to Chris Rock for Oscars hit. The slap heard around the world has definitely started a conversation about how people should respond when angry.  A day after Will Smith slapped comedian Chris Rock at the Oscars over a joke about his wife's alopecia, a video surfaced from The Arsenio Hall Show where Smith cracked a similar joke.  In a 1991 appearance on the show, Smith made a joke about John B. Williams, bassist for the show's house band, The Posse. In the clip, resurfaced by Twitter user @Peter_OKH, Smith says that everyone has their own rules to follow,  "Like, he has a rule—the bass player? He's got a rule: He's gotta wax his head every day. That's a rule!" Smith says, pointing at Williams, who laughs and nods.
