“I saw Chris [Rock] at Guy [Oseary] ‘s party,” Wanda Sykes told Ellen DeGeneres on the Mar. 30 episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show, “and soon as I walked up to him, the first thing that he said was, ‘I’m so sorry.'” Wanda, 58, spoke about her experience hosting the 2022 Oscars and the fallout from Will Smith slapping Chris, 57. Wanda asked him why he was apologizing. “He was like, ‘it was supposed to be your night. You, Amy [Schumer], and Regina [Hall] were doing such a great job. I’m so sorry. Now, this is going to be about this.’ That’s who Chris is.”
