This guy fully mastered the art of answering a question without actually answering a question.
10/10
Yessss I agree!! He did damn good!!
Bro trying his best not to lose that Bel Air gig..i respect it
Gotta play the game!!!!!✔✔✔😂😂😂😂
He's smart. Good dude!
he knows what side he bread is buttered
That's how powerful people in hollywood are able to get away with whatever they want. People lower than them in the pecking order are so afraid of them they keep their mouths shut.
Except for the fact that the obviously bigger and stronger Will Smith couldn't take little old Chris Rock of his feet with a "solid bitch slap".
If that were real? Chris Rock would have hit the floor and there would be charges filed by Rock.
killed this interview! I still can't believe this is his first acting role. He handles himself like a pro. true class.
The way he laughs was even fake like his interview trying to dodge questions lol
@@HolyRollerTV sthup
0:56 He know damn well that's not what she meant, this man was fighting to keep his damn role. Respect 😂😂😂
media training
Maybe he has a lot of respect for Will and chose not to judge him for this act.
😭😭
😹
He should be in politics, great non-answer.
Yea you could tell he was prepared loool like the comment on his crown. He knew everything she was gonna say/ask and had a response ready
She Reachin For The Stars & Grabbing Air!!! 😆
He learned from Biden. Don't be transparent.
Yeah, because Will is his cash cow....
Stg i was about to say he should be a politician, then I saw this comment😂😂
Will smith went from "laughing at the joke" to "slapping Chris" to "crying during the speech". A well deserved Oscar for these mood swings.
😂
BIG " Signs of mental health problems.
Great acting
@@zainzoala1083 He needs to smoke a good joint. Jada is a scorned woman and she just keeps getting stranger and stranger.
Where was BLM ✊🏿?
This young man is way beyond his years. The way he handled that was awesome. His career will definitely have longevity.
This young man handles himself EXCEEDINGLY well with the press. Way to go 💪🏾♥️
LOL He handled her questions better than the seasoned actors LOLOLOL
This young man executed this interview very well. He has intense eye contact too🤣
This “young man”, people always call blacks young men to make them sound more gentlemanly and professional it’s so cringy
@mr t 😂
@@andrewjackson6763 I can't see what is wrong with it, but maybe i'm wrong? i don't know
@@andrewjackson6763 wtf are you smoking l, people take offence on anything these days it's disgraceful
This literally is a young black male Andrew Jackson seek therapy because if you’re trying to say that young black gentleman don’t exist have several seats in the lake of fire!
She was messy! She kept trying to get him to talk about the fight indirectly but he curved her flawlessly! Well done! I haven’t seen the show yet but I will!
She wasn't being messy. Everyone was being asked what they thought about it.
I happy for him being mature to not fall for it
She tried it with Tiffany Haddish😏😏😏
I see what you did there. 😏
@@DavidKen878 , Yep, it is a talkable subject.....no mess, just opinion, this boy wants his job....
I LOVE HOW HE KEPT IGNORING HER WHEN SHE CLEARLY WAS WANTING TO BE MESSY. Professionalism at it’s finest🙏🏽💙
I don't know who he is but I don't like him. She would ask him a question and he would just talk and talk and give a long word salad without answering the actual question. He sounds like a sleazy politician.
@@breebartkowiakova your weird ass is going around posting this same comment on everyone else's. Dunno what you're trying to accomplish, but find something better to do.
@@breebartkowiakova Stupid comment
Professionalism is what Chris did. This kid is just being corrupt to keep his job
Clearly!! He was like not on my watch
I love how he diverted from the Chris Rock slap lol 😂 this young man is a class act!
Nope
Yes I agree and just spoke about how much class he has. That was impressive!!!
Hell yes!!!
Yes he handled it so well and with grace. This young man raised very well. She keep poking at people with the same question for what reason. New host next year
Yes, he did well!
Jabari not taking the bait. What a pro!
A pro in what exactly?
@@thewatchtower8330 She was trying to stir for ratings and her career and he outwitted her
@@coffeeperson1461 I don't agree. Nothing wrong with the questions. This was something never happened before. Critical questions should be asked.
In my opinion: a joke never can be justified by violence.
@@thewatchtower8330 Well I agree with the last part. Will Smith has been treated like a role model and this sends a poor message to younger people
My thoughts exactly.
This young man is going places. Proud of him. Kept it smooth and moving right along.
I don't know who he is but I don't like him. She would ask him a question and he would just talk and talk and give a long word salad without answering the actual question. He sounds like a sleazy politician.
Yes!
@@breebartkowiakova we don't care
Kept it smooth? Wasn’t smooth at all lol he loves dodging questions tho lol
@@Sole650 thank you! how exactly is he "Kept it smooth" when we can all see the BS he is pulling?
This man is so talented in Bel-Air! I don't even see him as Will anymore, he's his own character! The show is great!
And THIS is how you complete an interview. Kept it professional and positive. Excellent.
About as appropriate and "positive" as the porn ad reply to your stupid comment.
@@scottsent8120 lmao
🤣🤣 he was prepared from the moment he first licked his lips. " I'm ready, for this question, come on. I'm ready!"
*Yep! I love Jabari & the new show **_Bel-Air._*
*... He can teach Will Smith a lot about the mature way to handle an uncomfortable moment.* 👍
“Your crown is always ready as soon as you find the courage to wear it” don’t forget it
It’s a quote from the show LMFAOOOOOOO
Zoey Johnson where can I watch the show? Lol
@@haileyamber8052 peacock or soap2day
You gonna start bedazzling crowns on your t shirts now?
@@zoeyjohnson9453 cool
He did a great job keeping the interview in a positive direction!
I love how he redirected each question and answer back to will winning the Oscar
He kept the focus on Will's award knowing she was talking about the other situation so she literally had to jus simply ask n still got no answer 😆
He was too scared to give an honest answer. At least John Leguizamo had the balls to say what he really felt unlike the rest of these cowards.
@@Goku-cr2bi yea, while you don't even have the balls for a real page. foh
@@Goku-cr2bi you're a weirdo online with a Japanese cartoon PFP and name you have no room to call anyone a coward you bum
@@Goku-cr2bi if you were on camera and you know the internet might attack you for this you would do the same thing
@@iwuvpiesgaming9164 I personally wouldnt. John Leguizamo doesn't hate Will Smith, but he at least acknowledges that Will smacked a comedian for making a joke he didnt like and made the oscars all about himself instead of thinking of everyone else and the sacrifices they had to make to get there. All those peoples moments will forever be overshadowed by this incident.
And John Leguizamo isnt the only celeb speaking against Will, literally a TON of celebs are doing it too, this guy was just spineless.
Young man definitely knows at a young age how to deal with the media. Good work young king
I don't know who he is but I don't like him. She would ask him a question and he would just talk and talk and give a long word salad without answering the actual question. He sounds like a sleazy politician.
@@breebartkowiakova nah. He didn’t want to get involved in the drama that she was trying to get him to discuss. She kept picking at it but he was smart enough to not take the bait
@@breebartkowiakova Ima disagree with you, he handled the situation very well. He just saved himself from social media haters.
He’s trying to keep his fresh bel air job lol let’s be honest lol
@@Sole650 Exactly it's like that interviewer wanted to ruin his career Lmao!
His media trainer deserves an Oscar. Very good interview.
Love this guy. He knew what she was asking and he just evaded until she stopped talking about Will. He is so smart and so well spoken. Adore him.
The saddest thing about this whole incident is not Will Smith's actions, the world is filled with people doing stupid things in the moment. The real sad part is how people are twisting themselves into a pretzel justifying it as if there was some larger context in which what he did is "kinda okay".
th-cam.com/video/6q9b-7-PW8k/w-d-xo.html
Finally it's here
There was a bigger moment…her health and her marriage should be enough because of the fact Chris Rock has constantly attack them…
Yeah it’s bullshit it’s okay to make fun of people but not when it’s will or his family ? Comedians jobs are making fun of people
You said it brother
I don't think Will is sorry at all, I think he sees it from the pov of defending his wife. If people dislike him behind this, then oh well he has done well for himself and owes us nothing.
She was no asking about the slap and his redirection was perfect! Such a poised guy❤️
no she was asking about the slap and he pretended like she was talking about the speech LOLOLOLOLOLOL
Poise = bullshit?
I’m glad you caught that also Coraetta
I don’t know who this person is but he must be a fantastic dancer because he was able to dance completely around the question and provide a non answer. A ton of words with no substance.
@@ericfleming2842 I don't know who he is but I don't like him. She would ask him a question and he would just talk and talk and give a long word salad without answering the actual question. He sounds like a sleazy politician.
That media training coming through 😂
He did a awesome job responding to the incident and wish him many more great adventures on his journey.
Jabari handled that SO WELL.
Oh MY GOD
Nope
His boss....
Yup
Yes because if you don’t agree with higher ups you’ll be condemned.
Skilled response!! He knew ET was trolling for a response. Refined reaction and kept his composure. 100
She keeps trying to talk about the “slap” and he wants to focus on the positive of the night. Well done young man!
People need to understand that you can support Will without supporting what he did to Chris. Will was wrong. I hope he has some true friends, like maybe Denzel, who can tell him that he needs to be cool and definitely apologize to many people.
true💯
If it was a non-celebrity they'd be charged with assault, but Will Smith's just like "Oops, sorry about that", and it's no big deal.
@@courtneynewton-john8862 people have fights everyday and no charges are filed.... stop the bullshit
@@malcolmkeith816 Well it's been my experience that these days people call the police at the drop of a hat, everything is "assault", even slightly putting your hand on someone, so it seems incredible that Will Smith can just sock someone in the jaw like that in front of the whole world but then a few moments later he's partying and dancing.
No you can't. If The Rock had made that joke, do you think Will would have slapped him?
Leave this kid alone, he just got a career.
Yes I'm sure he hates the extra exposure!
he can have a career playing someone else. Will just took his role away from him
@@vitd5283 What are you talking about?
@@felipepineda1585 Not all press is good press.

I don't know who he is but I don't like him. She would ask him a question and he would just talk and talk and give a long word salad without answering the actual question. He sounds like a sleazy politician.
@@breebartkowiakova he’s will smith.
@@breebartkowiakova he acts as will smith in the fresh prince spin-off so for him to say anything about will would be a huge PR hit
The way Jabari keeps deflecting hur questions about "the slap"😅 ...Her: So what was your reaction when you watched "IT" knowing him, cause we was all like OMG!! Jabair: I was like duuuude, when he "WON-IT"!!! ☠☠☠(priceless)!! Her: what about the speech and the tears😭?? Jabari🤔: Incredible!! Incredible to believe I am an extension of this legacy...He cold with that thang! Jabari may be young but he isa master at deflection, that was sum str-8 up kungfu!!
This is like who Will use to be.
I must of danced around for 2 mins when I heard how he curved her real question, that was such a proud moment!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I will forever respect Jabari Banks for being positive & not answering any questions about another grown man's behavior. Bravo!
“Your crown is waiting for you when you have the courage to wear it.”
Jabari Banks is really cool. He handled it well like a pro. He looks like Will Smith too.
Bruh he answered that so smoothly, his team is doing a great job good for you brother💯😂
What do you think about the Ukraine war? "Putin's doing a good job for his country...you gotta protect your country." Smooth. "...great job good for you brother" [sic].
I don't know who he is but I don't like him. She would ask him a question and he would just talk and talk and give a long word salad without answering the actual question. He sounds like a sleazy politician.
@@breebartkowiakova lmao
EVERY SINGLE ANSWER HE HAD WAS SPOT ON AND PROPER! I'm going to watch his career very closely, protective by not being an enabler of what (they wanted him to) say. AMAZING CHARACTERISTICS IN SUCH A YOUNG ACTOR, YOU DON'T SEE THIS MUCH, if at all, THESE DAYS
I don't know who he is but I don't like him. She would ask him a question and he would just talk and talk and give a long word salad without answering the actual question. He sounds like a sleazy politician.
@@breebartkowiakova And judging a person you admitted you don't even know, you're just sleazy.
@@breebartkowiakova well if you watch the video, the report was also evasive in the questions presentation. This young intelligent man was able to keep up don't be mad lol. Also, he plays Will Smith in the show BEL AIR, it's a reboot to the fresh prince of Bel-Air
He knew what was gonna be asked. LOOL
Okay this young man has a huge amount of class!! That was impressive. I’m sure his family is very proud!!
Agree
He is saying violence is ok. So if I punched your wife or husband or kid, it's ok, then?
@Glennsten Bergkvist true, but he would risk his bell air act
@Glennsten Bergkvist there’s no way your real😂
@@puidemare2337 Bro he could lose his Job can you blame him.
He maneuvered those questions so smoothly 😂😂
As a publicist I wish ALL clients knew how to pivot like this. Great job young man 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I respect the interviewer for not pushing the question after he said he had no answer
I feel like this is the *"Try not to lose your job"* interview 😂😂🤣
I love that he talks about him winning it. Positive spin
I love how he didn’t take any of the bait and kept taking it back to the speech not the incident
I love how he dodged that slap question at first lol props
Love how he knew all along this lady had no interest in the achievement moment but answered as though that's what she was asking about. This guy is no idiot
He’s such a gentleman class act. Don’t talk bad about your employer!
I love the support he showed, even if he didn't agree, that will be discussed as family.
i like how he ignored her and went to the fact that he won
Absolute bravo the way he kept dodging the question about Chris Rock absolutely brilliant standing ovation and then he continued to say how he's going to stand by his side as will I
Just a man simply worried about his future in hollywood. of course he wont say anything negative about the all mighty Will Smith. lol
You are so very right.
He responded with great answers.. 👍🏽
Wonderful young man who didn't take the reporter's bait! Loved the tux, too.
Loving him. "Your crown is always ready the moment you find the courage to wear it".💪
He seems like a really good kid and Handled these questions really well 👏🏽
I don't know who he is but I don't like him. She would ask him a question and he would just talk and talk and give a long word salad without answering the actual question. He sounds like a sleazy politician.
@@breebartkowiakova He plays Will in "Bel-Air". He was being professional by avoid the question regarding the slap.
@khalilah you are stunning
He handled this interview so well 👏🏾
He didn't just dodge the question about the slap, he said the slap was incredible! This dude really doesn't want to lose his Bel Air job
He didn't answer the question about the slap. He responded with an answer about the oscar moment.
All the celebrities justifying his actions is more disturbing than the actual incident. He didn't even apologize to Chris. There is no excuse to physically assult someone and he did it without hesitation in front of hundreds of people and faced no consequences.
I totally agree smh. It makes me worry for my son,he’s a 10 year old black child,and If will smith can smack someone at the Oscar’s over words,then why shouldn’t I do the same.
LOL! This dude was sticking and moving like a pro! LOVE IT!
You know he’s whooping her ass in this interview. Definetly earned respect on this.
? She was just asking his opinion on the event. & he looks like a yes man now after condoning it.
@@slingslang2934 He’s not condoning it lmao, it’s better that he keeps his mouth shut than talk about something that has nothing to do with him. Plus Will is his boss, obviously he’s not gonna talk bad about a really powerful man in the industry who’s supplying his paycheck.
Great way to response and to keep the focus on the positive. He has a great and strong presence. Would like to see more projects of him...also I think his energy will fit perfect in one of Marvel's projects (Black Panther/Spider-Man as Miles)
Will smith just started this mans career, he ain’t gonna talk bad about him lmao 😂
a CLASS ACT. he handled that interview with impeccable tact and charm.
He cleverly avoided the slap questions
Well spoken young man. I love his eyes😍 I also love how he gave the interviewer his undivided attention the entire time even with many distractions.
10/10 dodging laser beams, brother finessing the interview with them redirections HAHA
No comment. He knows what’s up
"Don't let the successes get to you head, don't let the failures get to your heart."
Well put.
Way to manage that interview bro… she was pulling and pulling… Bro u managed that❤️❤️👍🏾👍🏾😍
WHEN HE WON IT? Bro he’s godly at diverting questions 😂😂
He's taking Will side because he doesn't want to die off the show.😂😂
Plus he knows that shit was raw too raw for today's people that act like that world's ended over a slap
Honestly I have never liked any of Chris Rock's jokes, BUT Will Smith
was totally despicable for assaulting him on the Oscar stage, simply
because he didn't like the corny and distasteful joke about his wife. If
it was a White comedian, do you honestly think Will Smith would have
gotten up on that stage and slapped him, especially with the entire
world watching? NO! He would have been escorted out! If it were a white
person who he slapped in the face, he would definitely be sued for
assault! Black on Black crime/assault it not acceptable, no matter how
famous the person may be. And then spewing those F-bombs in that
atmosphere was tacky and distasteful! I still think Will Smith is an
excellent actor, but he should be held accountable for that damn
nonsense! Uugghh!!! Chris Rock, who I have never liked as an
entertainer, should be commended for handling that embarrassing
situation with class and decorum. Will Smith needs to publicly apologize
to Chris Rock or be sued for assault! Period!
You're absolutely right.. Assault and battery is against the law. PERIOD. There are consequences to our actions, what we say and for what we do. Chris Rock jokes for a living, everyone knows this, especially Will Smith.. Don't remember ever seeing Chris attacked over the years for telling a bad joke. Smh🤨
Will wouldn't have slapped Chappelle.
Will Smith behaved like the thug he is.
@@scottsent8120 Totally agree. Chris must have felt humiliated. I felt bad for him. He handled it like a professional.
@@minymoe9475 I wouldn't be surprised if it cost him big time in Hollywood, movie offers etc.
He tried hard to dodge that question he handled the interview well
He has good energy and a kind spirit. Love watching him in Bel Air. Hope to see him in more roles in the future
This Interview was equivalent to Neo dodging those bullets in the Matrix. “He can’t dodge that one, oh shit he did it again”
Jabari is not fvcking up the bag for nobody.
Jabari Banks had GREAT coaching. He knows how to spin a question. Good job young sir.
Smart man, handled those questions like a CHAMP ♥️
He smacked chris rock because of his wife's hair, now he's moving with his aunt and uncle to the fresh streets of bel air 😭
Hahaaha
LoL yes good one there 😄👍
His job depends on his answers on Will. He isn't going to say anything negative but he handled this question like a pro
but if he said he doesn't condone violence and that he wish his semi boss producer Will didn't resort to that I don't see how that saying something negative.
Exactly. Most ppl are not gonna tell the truth at their job, ppl have bills lol
Loool the way he was swerving the question 😂😂 He handled it well
Took that interview like a PRO!!!
My man anit tryna lose his job 😂😂😂 that transition was smooth he kept his answer short and kept it moving.
He said all the right things. Good job young man.👏
He supported a man who turned violent over a half dozen words then called it standing up for his family - great family education on international television...
@@alistair7539 Perhaps backstage should have been where Will smacked Chris. BUT nipping it in the bud right then and there, let that be a lesson for the next time someone wants to make insults on someone's medical ailment. Demi Moore shaved her head by choice for a role in a movie. Jada, however, suffered hair loss due to a medical ailment called Alopecia. So I don't fault Will for standing up for his family for such a public insult towards his wife on international television.
He said assault was incredible?
@@BBalllegend1000 Her question was vague at best. She asked him about the "Will moment" and he said it was incredible, clearly he was referring to his speech as he went on. He did not play into the hype of the smack. Rewatch the vid.
@@RandomNest Wrong. He said "That was incredible, it's like he said, you gotta protect your family, I believe in him and what he stands for."
That sounds like he was defending the assault to me.
I mean.Will is his boss, so he trying to not lose that bread
Smart man. The media won’t be playing with or misconstruing Jabari’s words. Smart young man!
You never go up against the boss publicly or privately... smart man.
He spun this perfectly. I love him! 🫶🏾💯😂
*Chrisante Devon* Ugh! Who put sugar in your drink?
@@ayeflippum Your father. And he’s so delicious 🤤
@@chrisantedevon3518 So, that's it. You didn't have a real father in the home and now you have "daddy" issues. It's tragic that so many Black males have been feminized. How can Black people be protected when so many of our should-be warriors have forgone armor in favor of wearing dresses?
Will overreacted no matter what He could've just expressed his anger from his sit but he decided to get physical....I'm sure Chris didn't know Wills wife has alopecia
He definitely overacted, but when somebody insults your wife, and CLEARLY hurts her feelings, you want to defend her. In the heat of the moment his pride got the better of him. It happens to the best of us. These folks gotta give him some slack. He’s been one of the classiest names in hollywood since fresh prince hit the air.
@@prestonmichael7843 and thts the problem he thinks he can get away with anything, like apparently he could of said worst since jada sleeps around but he went for something pretty tame in comparison and your telling me will couldn’t realize ‘hey I’m on public television where millions of people are watching maybe I shouldn’t act like a highschool kid defending his girls honor” like fuck tell me what did that slap do for his image except for “ will slaps a famous comedian for a bad joke” like seriously lmfao
@@prestonmichael7843 He deserves no slack. He is a violent ahole.
Damn you people out here looking scary making all this noise from a little slap, is life really that uneventful for you?
@@user-bw5pk1ep9z so...........and

I love him so much he outsmarted that interviewer and dodged all her click bait questions

Jabari did a great job in this interview. So professional.
Wow he did such an amazing job at this interview! What a pro! Good for him! He has a bright future ahead of him I can already tell
Well done jabari for keeping level headed and dodging those tricky questions with swag and charisma, they did their best to trip you fella lol
Love how he handle the questions!!! Right, once your a true fan of Will, always be! Same here.
He killed this interview lol 😂😆😂😆😂
It’s already written?
The Click bait is insane!!! Jabari DID NOT react, he didn’t even wanna comment on the situation. smh y’all love stirring the pot
You’re so quick to defend and praise other blacks aren’t you?
