Chris Rock Turned Down Hosting 2022 Emmys, Source Says

At no point in the foreseeable future will Chris Rock serve as host of the entertainment ceremony. According to a source who spoke to ET, the comedian declined the idea to host the 2022 Emmy Awards.

According to the insider, Rock was in contention to host this year’s Emmys but declined the offer.

“He’s in his visit and is getting ready for the taping of his satire unique, which will tape this fall,” the source says.

In any case, that is not all. The source adds that Rock is “finished” Hollywood and is wanting to travel and hide out after his satire visit.

TV’s greatest night is set to air on Sept. 12 and the service will be communicated from the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles.

While there have been reports that Rock denying the gig could prompt the entertainment expo going hostless, a rep for the TV Academy lets ET know that is off base. Going hostless isn’t being considered as of now, the rep added.

Rock’s new history with grant shows has been fierce, as many will recollect it was at the 2022 Academy Awards that Will Smith insulted Rock after he poked a fun at Jada Pinkett Smith prior to introducing the honor for Best Documentary Feature.

“Jada, I love ya. G.I. Jane 2, can hardly hold back to see it.” (Pinkett Smith has been open about her battles with alopecia, an immune system issue that causes bare spots and balding.) Moments later, Smith strolled onto the stage and gave Rock a benevolent slap to his cheek. Smith then, at that point, strolled offstage and reviled at Rock from his seat, shouting, “Avoid my better half’s name with regards to your f**king mouth.”

Presently viewed as “the slap heard all over the planet,” a source at the occasion told ET the second was disrupting, surprising, befuddling, and changed the air until the end of the night.

Following the stunning function, Smith made an announcement saying ‘sorry’ to Rock and to the Academy for his activities. “Savagery in its structures is all harmful and horrendous. My conduct finally night’s Academy Awards was inadmissible and indefensible,” Smith wrote. “Jokes to my detriment are a piece of the gig, yet a kid about Jada’s ailment was a lot for me to bear and I responded inwardly. I might want to apologize to you, Chris openly. I was off the mark and I was off-base. I’m humiliated and my activities were not characteristic of the man I need to be. There is a bad situation for savagery in a universe of affection and generosity.”
