The “notoriously calm and sane” Mike Tyson, played by Kenan Thompson, had been brought in as head of security on the sketch to prevent another Will Smith slapping incident.
Thompson’s version of Iron Mike stated that to improve security, “all nominees have been given tasers, all seat occupants have been given guns, and Jimmy Kimmel has been given a flamethrower.”
When it came to Will Smith, he kept an Apple AirTag in his pocket so they knew where he was at all times, ‘unless he changes his pants, so stay ice cold, everyone!’

Later in the skit, cast member Bowen Yang appeared on the red carpet playing George Santos pretending to be Tom Cruise.
When pressured by hosts to admit that Santos was scheming as Cruise, Yang’s Santos said, “No, no, I’m definitely Thomas Q. Cruise, the star of this year’s hit movie Top Gun 2: Top Bottom.”
When the presenters told him that “you are not fooling anyone,” he responded as Santos.
‘Yes, except I did and now I’m in Congress. If you’ll excuse me, I have to be everyone everywhere at once’, referring to the favorite for Best Picture.
The show also featured changes aimed at ‘degenerate gamers’, who were called up by people less likely to watch the show and handed it over to a couple of punters.
They claimed there were 3-to-1 odds that a younger actor would bring in an older actor in a wheelchair and “immediately regret it”, and 2-to-1 that an actress making $20 million a year will say “we’re all Ukraine”. and even 10 to 1 that someone in the ‘In Memoriam’ segment would still be alive.
They also repeated the odds on several disgraced Hollywood stars, including Armie Hammer, Kanye West and Harvey Weinstein.
