And if it’s the Rock, I run,” he joked.The father of four then gave his take on if the slap heard around the world is “almost boring to joke about at this point.”“Well, whatever I say about it, it’s going to have to be great, right?” Kimmel said. “Because so much has been said and there’s so much focus on it.
