Will Smith

Kimmel dropped some serious punchlines, no pun intended.

The actor and rapper was supposed to be a surprise performer.

From royals to musicians, athletes to actors, comedians to tech moguls.

“I understood the idea when they say hurt people hurt people.”

"I'm here whenever you're ready to talk."

"I start seeing all of my money flying away, and my house is flying away and my career is going away."

"I would say, don't just start filming me without asking me if you can film me."

Smith also resigned from the Academy over his slap of Chris Rock.

The slap seen 'round the world was referenced moments into the 2022 Grammys.

From challenges to duels to poorly-timed commercials, we almost can't believe these moments actually happened this year.
