“And then all of a sudden he has this one, in many people’s eyes, unforgivable moment where he does something just so f***ing stupid,” Rogan continued. “But it’s not like he doesn’t realize it. He’s a human being. You just gotta forgive him, you know? And I think the real person who has to forgive him — if he wants to is Chris Rock.”
