Smith infamously hit Rock across the face as Rock was presenting an award during the live telecast of the 94th Academy Awards on March 27, 2022, and made a joke about Smith's wife, Jada Pinkett Smith.
Smith stormed the stage after Rock joked about her bald head in a reference to "G.I. Jane." Pinkett Smith had previously discussed her struggles with alopecia, an autoimmune disorder that causes hair loss.
Rock tested out bits of his new act on the road last summer with Dave Chappelle and Kevin Hart.
