Watch Chris Rock’s Monologue at the 88th Academy Awards

Chris Rock returned to the Academy Awards last night for his second hosting stint, and he used his opening monologue to address the #OscarsSoWhite controversy leading up to the big ceremony. “I thought about quitting – I thought about it real hard – but I realized they’re gonna have the Oscars anyway. They’re not gonna cancel the Oscars because I quit, you know? And the last thing I need is to lose another job to Kevin Hart.” Watch Rock’s full opening monologue above, then check out Rock’s #OscarsSoWhite parody featuring Whoopi Goldberg, SNL’s Leslie Jones, and Tracy Morgan below:
