I think that a joke like that might have been off-the-cuff but Will had no reason to get up and act like an ass on national television just because his wife does indeed suffer from Alopecia, and that joke may have hurt her feelings. But we have comedians that make fun of far worse things and comedy is supposed to be this way. It's just a way to own our humanity and laugh at things that might offend some people but it's because we need some way to heal during times like these. Comedy has been the same way and Chris Rock might have dug a bit too far for that joke but it was still no worse than 9/11 jokes or joking about shark victims or domestic abuse. Is it dark? Sure. Is it illegal? No. It can offend but it can't physically hurt anybody.
