"Saturday Night Live" star Michael Che defended Chris Rock's decision to jump back into performing following the Will Smith Oscars slap in a recent interview.
Lauryn Overhultz is an entertainment writer for Fox News Digital.
The comedian noted that Rock was expected to give out the award after being slapped.
"One of the things that annoyed me was when it was happening people were like ‘Oh well now he’s selling tickets,'" Che told Howard Stern. "Yeah, he had a polished act that he wanted to present to people. And now people are buying tickets to hear him talk about dumb s--- that he has zero interest in even bringing up."
