Jerry Seinfeld, the co-creator of the sitcom Unfrosted, revealed that he had planned a redemption scene in the film, which would have starred Chris Rock as the emcee of the Bowl & Spoon Awards after Will Smith's infamous Oscars slap. However, the comedian's readiness to revisit the moment was still in question, leading to a change in casting and creative direction. The decision to cut the scene suggests a cautious approach to handling sensitive topics, especially when the real-life implications remain palpable. Since the Oscars incident, Chris Rock has maintained a relatively low profile, while Will Smith issued a public apology and faced consequences from The Academy. Unfrosted is available to stream with a Netflix subscription.
