Thanks Will Smith for the slap on the face; this made Chris Rock comedy shows sold out tickets world wide. He’s a true comedy legend & a winner.

Chris Rock is so good the cameraman lost focus of his camera because he was laughing at 2:27

[John-btjo]

Chris did not only call out the elephant in the room...he RODE IT

[JAYHORNFILMS]

The balls it takes to roast Hollywood's elite, on the most important night of the year, is genius.

[Dramox.]

I still cant believe how good Chris performed in this opening monologue. It's at the top of all time!

[toreycarmichael]

I've seen this video so many times and it never gets old!! They need Chris back next year at the oscars

Chris Rock roasted Hollywood at the Oscars.
Ricky Gervais roasted them at the Golden Globes.
2016 was a good year!

Chadwick Boseman clapping hands for opportunities for black actors. RIP LEGEND.

This guy is good. His materials are solid gold. Well done Chris

The Academy awards needed this at this time. Chris Rock delivered a light hearted Monologue that eased the tension

[ajmals]

Chadwick Boseman tears when Chris said we want opportunities. What a man REST IN POWER, King 👑🖤.
We love you Forever 🙅🏿‍♂️🖤.

Honestly is someone told me Chris Rock was straight out of high school I would probably believe them. Man hasn't aged since the 90's

[Lumberburner]

He is so brilliant. One of the best stand up comedians of all time.

[hm]

This is such a brave & brilliant performance. You can see & hear that he’s nervous, delivering an unusually consequential & controversial opening monologue to an audience of mostly white liberal elites, many of whom are staring back at him unimpressed.

I remember watching this in 2016 & thinking: “oh so that’s who Chris Rock is. This is why he’s so famous.”

[jco]

if Dave Chapelle hosted the Oscars the audience would walk out crying

[utkarshmahajan]

Anyone notice how Chadwick got teary eyed when Chris said we want opportunities.

[BoneCrusher_Gaming]

This makes me love Chris Rock even more. True humble making people laugh

"I get it, I get it, "TELL THE TRUTH" I GET IT." Never gets old I love Chris.
