Bassem Youssef On Will Smith: "Chris Rock's Revenge Was $40 Million From Netflix"
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 6 มี.ค. 2023
- Piers Morgan is joined by comedian Bassem Youssef, columnist Madeline Grant and TalkTV contributor Paula Rhone-Adrien to discuss Chris Rock's recent Netflix special, in which he discusses the infamous Will Smith slap at last year's Oscars and whether comedy can be cancelled.
Bassem begins by explaining that Chris Rock got his revenge on Will Smith by signing a $40 million contract with Netflix for his stand-up comedy special. Piers suggests however that many people would feel outraged and perhaps slap someone mocking their wife's alopecia. Madeline counteracts that violence isn't the answer and that Will Smith should have been a better example to his children.

Who is here after Bassem destroyed Morgan ?
And that self proclaimed genius Shapiro
Yup very intelligent and quick witted man
I was looking for this comment 😂
🙋🏾♂️
Oh yeah!!! Bassem wrecked him completely. His humour definitely brought the point across.
Deepest respect to Chris Rock. He had every right to talk about 'the slap'.
He milked it for all it was worth. If you're gonna get slapped at the Oscars, you might as well cash out for it
I agree... Minus swearing. I understood Chris fought back by way of comedy approached.
POV Only he swore alot...But I am not offended. Thank you.
@@lighthouseflower5871 That’s been a primary tool in both Chris and Dave’s kit for years. Chris’ manic pacing can be a bit tiring perhaps, but what most impressed me about the show was the craft with which he built to the ending.
@@fonkenful I see. I don't really watch Chris or Dave. But he executed his craft well. Thanks.
who said he didn't?
Chris Rock handled it with dignity and grace. Good for him for dealing with it on his own terms and not making himself a victim. Deep respect for Chris Rock.
Chris Rock is a chicken shit. And took that slap like one.
Agreed!
Totally 👍👍👍👍
Chris handled this situation without dignity or grace. His behavior was distasteful because he put himself on the same level as Will Smith by resorting to a different type of violence. Chris is proving himself unable to be the better person in this situation, and those who cheer for him are equally disappointing.
While I don't necessarily support Will's actions, I believe that Chris's decision to retaliate and resort to violence only gives Will an excuse to justify his behavior. In my opinion, a better approach would have been to let Will feel the weight of his actions and eventually come to regret them, wishing for Chris's forgiveness. Making an aggressor suffer through their own regret is more effective than externally trying to destroy them.
@@mackblack5153nope Chris is a comedian. Comedians tell jokes abt their lives and how they feeling and that’s exactly what he did
Who's here after watching Bassem Youssef completely destroying Piers Morgan on Israel-Palestine Issue ?
he roasted him fine 👌
Yes, He reminded him to be human again 😂
@@Saphia-lu1tq😂😂😂 👌💯
Will Smith conveniently forgot that he's also mocked people as part of his comedy. Did he expect to get attacked for his jokes?
Actually a great point.
He also bragged about how he didn't curse in his raps to sell records when compared to Eminem. But he was already famous before he chose to "be a rapper" lol
@therealtwerkman What year did Will became famous and started his career as a rapper?
@@myleswayne301 In 1989💯🎯
Ridiculous, Smith was laughing at the joke himself. He got up only after his wife gave him a death stare.
You hit the nail on the head. She caught Will laughing at her expense and gave him the "wait until we get home look" and he had to overreact to get himself out of the doghouse. Thats one pussy whipped dude.
He's a simp boi
That is what made it so ridiculous, it was like she commanded him to attack.
That is correct!!
That's because Will Simp is his wife's b*tch.
"I wouldn't have made a joke about her hair. I'd have made a joke about her boyfriend." - Ricky Gervais.
Yes, it was a terribly weak joke - a lazy filler.
@@eshaibraheem4218 comedians make fun and mock everyone and everything. That's what they do.
That's how they make people laugh. Will and Jada of all the people should know this.
@@eshaibraheem4218 he didn’t know about her illness, neither did most of the people!!! When she was all over the media telling about fucking her sons friend. Now that is technically her son for haven seek!!! If it was the other way around it would have being outrageous and that person would have being charged with something!
@@Nhamo3 But it wasn't funny.
@@sugartem1 Why have you addressed that comment to me?
Chris was extremely tolerant and patient. He didn't say anything that was not already known. Ultimately, he had the last word, mike drop. Awesome!
Mic not mike and yes he literally had the last word and dropped the mic before he walked off stage.
@@terryl.cooper 🤦♂️
Patient or waiting for the right moment to clout money by shaming someone’s family? In the first place you cant joke about someone’s illness or disease? Would he do it if she had cancer?
It was amazing
@@Joy_boy_Gomu 😂
I loved Chris Rocks comeback to the IDIOTS PUNCH. Keep doing what you do Chris.
My friend shut up. U only Supports black man when he’s fighting his people. Bad people god should punish all of u evil impostors. Chris Rock is a hateful anima. He don’t even like himself
I also love how will smith can stand up to cancel culture still making movies. Those who don't sin cast the first stone.
Chris’ response was even more IDIOTIC!!! What a sad simp.
@@johnle1535 Thanks. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Was an hilarious way to get back at bullies or rather “the victim” love Chris rock ❤😂😂
Ciao from Canada
"Words hurt!!" I used to feel sorry for Will Smith, because he was married to that cheating Praying Mantis,,, but he showed the world that he is no better than her.
Chris Rock has been bullying Jada since 1996. White people don't know the history behind that slap
The Netflix special was brilliant! He commanded that stage like the master he is. The whole thing was hilarious but the ending about Will was the best thing ever. All hail King Rock!
Mike drop. The end 😊
Interested to see what Smith's reaction to Rock's show will be.
@@asdfjkl7430 he'll slap his own wife?
I did not have the same impression. He kept repeating the same sentence twice. It was not that funny. Plus he was high on something and i'm not talking about his platform shoes. The smackdown was ok but that's not worth 40 millions. Not even close. This is how netflix is spending our money. No wonder they need to charge more and more every year.
@@erictremblay6867 he just told the truth in a funny way. He's a comedian, remember? No wonder they need to charge more and more every year? Look around you, everything's going up. You must be a Will Smith fanboy that hates Chris Rock.
I am ecstatic that Chris Rock received $40 million!
Well deserved CR.
Well done you are a gentleman. You don't have to socialise with trash Will and Jada
Totally elated for Chris! 👏🏼
He deserves it hahaha
Yes yes yes absolutely.
This is the best revenge I've ever seen my whole life 🤣🤣🤣 this sunk in deeper than an arrest or a lawsuit
Yes yes yes
Lol What...
I know right. I’m not even Chris… I just feel soo good for that slapped revenge 😂. Well… will smith learned his lesson
Yes!
🤣🤣😂😂And we know Will is not enjoying it.
He wasn't mocking her, that's where Piers and others get it wrong, he was telling a joke, he is a comedian, whether you or Will found it funny or not, isn't the point.
Too many idiots who are fake upset over the joke, when the real reason they're upset is because their favorite celebrities (and people they relate to) are getting dragged through the mud and demeaned as they deserve.
Agreed!
He was mocking her and it was funny AF
He was mocking her and called her b***ch. Now some deemed it funny and that is subjective. It's up to the viewer's discretion. But he mocked her.
@@SammySam316 making shit up?
Interesting to see Piers Morgan so happy to see Bassem here but he acts completely different to him in his recent interview with him about genocide in Palestine….you can see in this video that he lets Bassem speak and doesnt interrupt him on this one
Piers gonna block you again after your roasting interview with him! 😂❤😂
dude xd
I’ll watch anything including baseem youssef
I hear that Will is embarrassed and hurt by what Chris said about him and his family in the Netflix special. He feels that it’s distasteful of Netflix to give Chris the platform to insult Jada …He is so self righteous and a hypocrite..
Jada embarrassed herself.
Jada not only made a fool of herself on national television by manipulating Will Smith like the puppy he is because she wanted toxicity and drama.. but Chris handled it like a champ and remained stoic and composed and got $40 million dollars to openly destroy Will Smith on Netflix
Jada is a narcissist period
Where did you hear it from? Mind sharing? Btw, both men have selective outrage with obvious different reasons. Touch your heart. You know it's true. Quit siding one and putting down the other
When meghan and Harry Was given the Chance to insult royals???
Bassem said the most optimistic thing I have heard in 4 years: Comedy will survive cancel culture!
Will*
@@anti-narc1343 will smith هههههه
Only when comedy is respectful not let loose!
L@@JoeXOTic
هههههه
I had no idea that Chris Rock is such a great comedian until Will Smith slapped him.
😅🤣😂
You know nothing
Hahahaha
@@ETS186 absolutely nothing
He spoke about the oscar incident the last 8 min and that’s what everyone wanted to hear.. 40 million for 8 min genius
Yeah smart
C'mon the truth is that it was funny all the way
It wasnt about money, I pretty much think Chris knew what he wanted to do with Will Smith and he has done just that!
If she was so upset about her hair, then why didn't she wear a wig? She wanted attention because it was going to be her husbands night, and she didn't want him to have all the attention. We all know how the night turned out for Will Smith, it was not a good ending.
She's pure spite and evil.
Don’t act like Chris wouldn’t still have made fun of her.
It won’t change anything
@@chacha.S11 Do you even remember what the joke was about?
I can agree why not put on a wig
Will Smith had no right to do what he did to Chris Rock. I'm glad Rock took the high road and waited a year to think about what he wanted to say and then said it in the biggest way possible.
Chris rock doesn't have any to disrespect his wife or would he have done so if she was white
@@evelynejeka7182 I'm sure her race didn't matter. He was correctly referring to her behavior and how that triggered Will Smith. But since you're asking about race, do you think Will Smith would have slapped Chris Rock if he was white?
@@evelynejeka7182 que dijo?
Will did have a right.
Chris spoke the truth
Will Smith is lucky that Chris Rock didn’t press charges.For that he should be gracious and let Chris Rock do his job! He’s a great comedian. Jada and Will need to be humble now so Will can make a comeback
Yes exactly. WS and the wife are pushing their luck. Things could've been so much worse for them
Nicely worded.
Will never been in trouble it would have been a simple assault! It would have been over by now so Chris didn’t do Will a favor! He wanted to hurt Will as much as he could!
@@thelegacyofgaming2928 that come back wasn’t humble I would have felt better if he sued other than still talking about that man’s wife!
@@stephaniedrew6213 If Will was going to ever leave for anything his wife done, he definitely not anymore! Will has a great heart he going to protect her and his family even more! Everyone telling him to leave and taking digs is going to push a man like Will to protect!
40 million check?? no wonder he didn't hold back in the Netflix special
Great.work for.chris
I'm American & completely over Smith when I saw. His behavior on awards.
Morgan it is the time to block him again 😂😂
Think it was worth more than 40million as he spoke out about this durning his September show in Liverpool and London while he toured with Dave Chappell
Will Smith defending jade look like American defending Israel
Is this personal attack 😅
In solidarity
Bravo Chris!!!!!
Intelligence, class, strong family. The man literally had his daughter expelled from a prestigious HS to teach her a lesson. And he doesn’t take excuses for people’s behavior.
That’s a great father and human being
Who?
@@rhuonaChanel clearly not you.
@@Nhamo3 allow it bruv bro was only asking a question
Good for Chris!!!!
I have loved Chris Rock since I was a child watching him on SNL reruns. I wrote a paper about him in 3rd grade because we had an assignment to write about someone famous with the same first name.
you forgot to ask him " do you condemn hamas ?"
As a fellow survivor of bullying I will ALWAYS stand by Chris Rock. Humor is grrrreat "revenge" and Will Smith needs to grow his balls back
survivor of bullying?!?! 😂😂😂😂
“Survivor” of bullying telling someone to grow their balls back lol
Usually you refer to yourself as a survivor if you had cancer or something
You completely missed the point
His balls got engrossed in an entanglement...
TH-cam brought me here after Bassem Youssef famous interview with pierce Morgan 😮😢Anyone Else?!! 😂
TH-cam keep showing the interview & Everybody was Talking about It.
So I watched If Few days later .
You Can't beat TH-cam Algorithm 😂😢😮
At the end of the show he explains the reason why he didn’t fight back. I found this the most impactful part of the show and spoke to how Chris was raised and the dignity with which he carries himself. With those final words he also establishes the massive chasm between his own strength of character and that of Will Smith’s. I won’t quote the exact text, highly recommend the watch :)
He who saves his dignity, always wins.
Bassem Youssef is a treasure
True martial artists know it is for defense only and of course this situation was only aggravated because Chris Rock's defenses were totally down. It was the Oscars and like the rest of us he was caught totally off guard. The way Chris handled this is masterful and his revenge was devastating...Im a bigger fan of Chris now than ever and Im sure many, many people feel the same. Like I said the night it happened, Chris is a class act.
The way Chris handled it that night was commendable but anything he had to say to Will Smith should have been between the two of them.
@@shari9721 You mean like the slap was between the two of them?
@@shari9721 Nope. If WS slaps him in public and his wife calls for him to be fired, he can demean them in public as well. Tit for tat, can't be mad.
@@shari9721 I think you mean anything WILL said to CHRIS should have been between the two of them. When Will assaulted Chris on a world-wide stage like the Oscars all bets are off.
@@shari9721 Chris Rock called Will to talk about it and he didn't answer. He had his chance
The only thing a fist fight proves is who the better fist fighter is. Doesn't prove the winner will be right. Will was even more shameful because Chris wasn't his match and they both knew it. For sure Will wouldn't have done that to The Rock or another actor his size. Will has to eat his humble pie and hopefully move on with his toxic family.
Thank you CR for saying things that most of us cannot say because we are censored from being able to express ourselves.
We want to return to normality, to have the freedom to express ourselves and discuss ideas or thoughts without being cancelled.
You DO have that right. Exercise it
@@ckwind1971 “If words hurt you, then you never been punched in the face”
Chris Rock. You can literally get fired from work for asking co workers “what are your plans this weekend?” That happened to a supervisor of mine.
Or for saying “American” at Stanford University is a banned word that cannot be used in any essay or spoken on campus. Literally the woke loonies even think “putting on make up is the same thing as being fit and healthy”. Accountability and Discipline has been replaced with Acceptance and Overreach on a scale never seen before because of how weak western society has become. Quoting Chris Rock:
“The Emergency Rooms in this country are filled with people who have paper cuts”.
Name one person cancelled. Not losing a job, literally can’t make a living at their profession.
What are you talking about? No one is holding a gun to your head. Grow a pair and express yourself. The ONLY one holding you back is YOU. Exercise your right or lose it. Don’t willingly give it away.
Random commentator on YT is talking about being cancelled as if anyone cared what they said in the first place.
Chris Rock is brilliant and absolutely right. But random commentator here is literally among the victims Rock’s talking about.
You’re going out of your way to complain about a situation you will never find yourself in and to portray yourself as a victim of “cancel culture”.
I almost died when he called Will Suge Smith!😂😂😂
Suge Knight.
Comedians are the new speakers of the free world
Chris Rick is now my favorite 😍
Bassem, I am your citizen Egyptian and I am really proud of what you have accomplished so far thank you for your comedy thank you for put smile on our face in unfortunate times and please dont stop comedy especially the Arabic one your Egyptian peaple will still hungry for your shows peace
He can come back to egypt he chose to leave and make use of it btw
@H R No he can't. The reason he left Egypt is he knew at some point they were going to ban him from travelling overseas. He was already getting many threats. If he comes back now he might get arrested at the airport port.
He left before they could trap him. His words on Quora btw not mine.
@@alylee he can say what he wants. He was in a big arbitration case and lost it and he saw an opportunity even his family exposed him that he is not banned or threatened. You dnt expect him to come out and say well I saw an opportunity and went for it.
@H R Sorry but I believe him for 2 reasons;
1) I knew friends who had much less entanglements with the government and fled the country.
2) Bassems Wife and children come to Egypt for visits without him. He never set foot in the country since then. His wife is an old friend of mine. I'm telling you he never comes for a reason. He won't risk it.
@@alylee
Basset is a FRAUD ; he doesn’t represent the Egyptian Opposition to the Military Regime; but he was opposed to the duly elected president !!!! Shame on Him. No principles.
Like Jim Carrey said - words were said, Will should have replied with words. This was an assault. And the shameless crowd applauded Will later. No one stood up for the person who got assaulted. Why? Because he was not a superstar? There was no justification for the assault - especially since the comparison was a compliment. And as a person who has suffered from alopecia - Jada appears to have shaved for whatever other reason.
Jada wasnt worth defending.
You know damn well Piers knew exactly why he had Bassem blocked. He just wants more followers.
I hope Chris and his family have recovered
Chris Rock is relevant for punching back when it mattered 🥊🤣🇨🇦
Bout time he addressed it and he did it with no less style than I expected from him 😂
Best interview Piers Morgan has done tbh.
Chris Rock wasn’t mocking Jada smith. He was telling a joke, which is what all comedians do.
Will smith has never apologized for giving the idea to the crazies that its ok to go up on stage and smack the comedian if you don’t like what he says.
What he did was very wrong bcos you don't mock a man's wife in his face
If Jada would have been thinking on her feet, instead of sitting on her sad--then she could have taken the opportunity to approach a Hollywood producer about possibly staring in a remake of G.I. Jane. That’s what I call a missed opportunity. 😏
@@evelynejeka7182 he didn't mock her
@@evelynejeka7182 Chris Rock was hosting the Oscars. Comedians always host the Oscars because it's part of their job to make fun of the celebrities who attend. Jada and Will were sitting in the front row, so of course Chris was going to crack a joke at them.
He was doing the job he was hired for.
Here after the recent body slam Bassem gave Piers!😁
Chris got what was due to him. Good for Chris.
Bassam Youssef is highly educated and very funny. I'm glad him and Pierce Morgan can get along again.
He used to be a heart surgeon
Not now though lol when aries hate another aries.. oh lala.. cant stay longer though lol
I love Bassem!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for bringing him!
He won that fateful night, and he just won again. Christ Rock rocks! 💞
I can here for bassim because I watched his recent interview dismantling and pierced pierces Morgan’s tongue and IQ to below overage 😢
Thanks bassim 😊
Loved what Chris Rock had to say about MM so hilarious but absolutely true 🤣
Loved ❤it too !! She deserved every second of it !!
Obviously you don't have a
Membership to Netflix, Chris
Said Meghan is a nice lady.
However Chris said the Royal
Family invented Coloanism
Racist. Didn't she Google it.
There the most Racist family.
It is so nice Piers & Bassem are having such a relaxed jovial conversation for a change on the show.
Bwhahahahaha I loved watching Chris Rocks comedy show!
Bassem has an uncanny resemblance to Robin Williams (RIP)
Love you Bassemn Yussef, keeping it real...
Bassem is quite influencing when it comes to politics in the middle east and globally. Quite intelligent too, you need to host him more.
The Egyptian Robin Williams ❤️
Rock is cashing his 40 million and popping champagne! Good for your Chris! I love ya and I am so proud of you. You are a man with a beautiful spirit, heart and keep doing what you are doing because you are the GOAT.
It is not necessary to slap someone for response to words.
Have bassem back again!❤ so intelligent, calm and articulate!
Huge respect to Chris Rock ❤️
Excellent Netflix special! Good job Chris! 👍
And that's how we do it, way to go Chris, love from Kenya 🇰🇪
Can’t get enough of Bassem yousaf. He’s so much fun to listen to
I haven't been able to get enough of it for ten years
@@mahmoud_Eldken I’m sure
I liked the Mike drop at the end of his set and the way he kept the will smith stuff to the end
Please bring Bassem more to your shows
Turns out now she wasn’t his wife at the time and they were not king as !!
If Will would have not laughed at the joke, then maybe he could have be understood more for what he did. Will laughed at the joke and then when he seen his wife expressed he took it out on Chris. It was never about the joke it was something between Will and his wife and Will took it out on Chris physically.
What loved about Chris he did not make himself a victim he slapped Will with words 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
He could’ve gotten more from suing Will Smith
$40 million dollars?. Will smith may be worth 350 million but that’s when you add up all of his assets. Not sure Will Smith has 40 million dollars in cash to give to Chris rock at once. However, Netflix had the money to give so it’s a win for Chris Rock
He could not sue for 40million, no way
I don't know, I don't think it was about the money. Chris is a millionaire too anyway. It was about his honor , you know, serving revenge in the best, coldest possible way 😂😂 Like "if just a few harmless words triggered Will to embarrass me on a public global stage, then I'll use stronger words and a public global stage too to get my honor back" best part is, Chris spoke the truth so there's no comeback😂😂
"i will be a nicer person" says Bassem who annihilated Peirs😂😂😂
It is strange that foreigners show us our Egyptian history!!
As an Egyptian, this is also not true. Cleopater is not Greek, but rather Egyptian, born in Alexandria of Macedonian origins. She was the last king of Macedonian origins to rule ancient Egypt.
They do say that revenge is a dish best served cold.🙄
This is the power of Chris Rock I need to renew my Netflix account just so I can watch that special ✓ 👌🏻
Saw your new material in an underground show in LA. Very happy to see your success!
Love your show. Thank you. Subscribed
I sometimes wonder if people know what the difference between a slap and a punch is. Chris Rock was slapped, not punched.
I truly enjoyed this 6 & a half minute discussion. 😊 Bassem is quite intelligent and everyone spoke well! 🥰 Great handshake between PM & Bassem. I applaud Chris Rock for this smart, funny, and wise revenge. 😂😊💯
Bassem & Morgan have great chemistry....
Bassem has such beautiful eyes
Will Smith will probably go on Oprah & play the victim ! 🤣 🤓
Will the cuck Smith 😂
I think Chris foresaw this happening which is why he even added that "you won't see me as the victim on Oprah on Gail"😂😂 Genius. Imagine if Will actually goes on these shows and acts the victim after that special 🤣
He's will of course he will
And everything about Selective Outrage is gaaddaaamm hilarious😁 😂 . Chris in my top 5 all timers....respect to king chappelle
This is the very reason you never attack a comedian they will get you back with the microphone for sure.! The microphone is a very powerful weapon!
3:03 it is very interesting that Bassem has never attacked because of his humour, altough he was a very sharp critic in Egypt.
TH-cam Algorithm brought me here 😂
not Possible
Will Smith's response in total victim mode. When is he going to learn to think before he speaks - never mind acts. Chris was masterful is his restraint over the past year and his timing was perfect.
I love Bassim. He is a very good comedian when he does a show in English. But he becomes a beast when he does them in Arabic. Arguably, the best Arab political satirist ever.
Pierce you thought Chris Rock may have deserved a slap but the Palestinians didn’t have a right to defend themselves from 90 years of apartheid, ethnic cleansing and being in a concentration camp? What a GUY! 😅
That punch aged perfectly imo!
