Late night show hosts such as Jimmy Kimmel and Jimmy Fallon among others were seen talking about Hollywood star Will Smith's controversial night at the Academy Awards and discussed the moment when the actor walked onto the ceremony stage to slap comedian Chris Rock after the comedian made a joke about his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith.

The incident between Smith and Rock stunned audiences, both inside the Dolby Theatre and watching from home, as it was not immediately clear whether the interaction was a staged part of the show or a genuine byproduct of a disagreement between the two, reports 'Variety'.
