Chris Rock, Steve Martin Mock Democrats Over Iowa Caucuses, L.A. Homeless Problem
“A couple of years ago there was a big disaster here at the Oscars where they accidentally read out the wrong name, and it was nobody’s fault, but they have guaranteed that this will not happen this year because the Academy has switched to the new Iowa caucus app,” Martin said. “But what a night!”
“Yeah, I don’t know Steve,” Rock responded. “I’m a little conflicted, you know. I was driving here tonight and seeing the terrible homeless problem in L.A.—”
Martin immediately cut him off, yelling, “Thank you, Chris! So many stars! Oh my God, there’s Brad Pitt. It’s like looking at a mirror.”
The homeless problem in Los Angeles and in California as a whole – both controlled by the Democratic Party – has gotten significantly worse in recent years.

CHRIS ROCK: While we were backstage watching it, Steve says to me, J Lo’s killing it two weeks in a row.
STEVE MARTIN: You know, I was thinking today Chris that we both have hosted the Oscars before and this is such an incredible demotion. They don’t really have hosts anymore. Why is that?
ROCK: Twitter. Hey, everybody’s got an embarrassing tweet somewhere. I know I do.

ROCK: … Jeff Bezos is here. Jeff Bezos—
MARTIN: Wow, great actor.
ROCK: He’s got cash, when he writes a check the bank bounce. Jeff Bezos is so rich, he got divorced and he’s still the richest man in the world. He saw Marriage Story and thought it was a comedy. Steve, do you have anything that you want to add about Mr. Bezos?
MARTIN: No, I like getting my packages on time.
