The Will Smith slap added to this sketch from The Day Today works uncannily well

Poke Staff. Updated March 30th, 2022

As the media storm around the Oscars moment when Will Smith slapped Chris Rock shows no sign of abating, freelance producer, director and musician Jim Sheridan added the clip to this old Day Today sketch.

And it works uncannily well.

Don’t worry the media will react in a measured and calm way to the Will Smith/Chris Rock debacle…

Always love Coogan just about managing to stay on course after the "It's large" line.
