There are some truths at play here.
Pointing them out would get me permanently banned.
I would encourage one and all to Google who the Producer of this broadcast was. It was this person’s first time producing the show. Read up on him. And by all means, find a photograph. Then draw your own conclusions which I am in no way prompting or encouraging or stating here.
On a separate note: I’m a Camera Operator. A colleague was there. I mean, IN the theater, up close that night. He has said nothing except for this: It wasn’t faked. Chris Rock’s face swelled up afterwards.
