The Wokeness of Comic Relief

Welcome back to Saucy but Sweet with Ali McPherson. Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve heard about the Will Smith/Chris Rock fiasco. Over a year ago after a poorly made joke by comedian Chris Rock, Will Smith slapped him across the face for the world to see at the Oscars in 2022. The host spoke with Saucy but Sweet with Ali McPherson podcast regular Sheneca Sharpe in an episode titled, “The Other Side of a Slap,” last year to discuss what went down and what this meant moving forward for the two Hollywood stars. This time around the host will be chatting with our recent guests and friends of the podcast Fiifi Frimpong and Kirk Cohall about Chris Rock’s new comedy special, aka the first time he is publicly speaking on the fiasco and what this means for comedy in the bigger sense. Are we becoming too woke and unable to truly handle a joke? Or do comedians need to get with the program and produce comedy that never offends others?
